Publisher's Synopsis
Our nation's transportation system is a death trap for the third of our citizens who do not drive. A full 13% of traffic deaths are bicyclists and pedestrians, yet most roadways are still being built with only motor vehicles in mind. Pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and transit users of all ages and abilities safely and enjoyably travel along and across complete streets. Complete streets policies require safe accommodation of all users. The Alliance for Biking & Walking assists our coalition of over 160 grassroots advocacy organizations to win state, provincial, and local complete streets policies. These local policies can help leverage federal-level policy and together ensure that all transportation projects are complete. The Alliance for Biking & Walking's Guide to Complete Streets Campaigns brings you a blueprint for successfully winning a complete streets policy in your city, region, state, or province. Filled with models from past and current campaigns and tips from advocacy leaders in the field, this Guide is an indispensable resource for the new or seasoned advocate working towards complete streets. Although this Guide is written especially for bicycling and walking organizations, and nonprofit or advocate promoting complete streets will benefit from the best practice advise and models found here.
