The Healthy Communities Group of the Okaloosa County Health Improvement Partnership (OCHIP) has a focus on injury prevention, including the reduction of emergency department visits from motor vehicle traffic-related injuries involving pedestrians and cyclists.
OCHIP members partnered with LEL Brian Muhlbach to collaboratively create a Pedestrian Safety Best Practices guide. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of strategies for enhancing pedestrian safety by drawing from proven approaches and the latest research.
It is intended for use by schools, city and county governments, law enforcement agencies, and community organizations.
For more information, contact Emily Pickens with OCHIP at emily.pickens@flhealth.gov or Brian Muhlbach with the Florida LEL Program at b.muhlbach@fl-lel.org.
