Abstract
This publication offers ideas for encouraging children to explore their environments by walking while reducing their risk of pedestrian injury. It discusses strategies to: raise public awareness about child pedestrian safety; change attitudes and behaviours of both pedestrians and drivers; create safer environments for walking; develop and conduct safe-walking programs; address gaps in current knowledge about pedestrian safety; and collect data to measure how much children walk and identify factors that put them at risk for injury while walking.
