• Abstract:
  The Drivers’ Education Demo to Reduce Pedestrian and Bicyclist Fatalities effort was designed to examine the current state of driver education and training and the post-licensing improvement courses available in the United States with respect to the level of emphasis on pedestrians, bicyclists, and other micro-mobility road users and the specific topics (e.g., maneuvers, contextual considerations) referenced in the course content. The results of examination were used to identify and prioritize gaps in the material and then to develop and test a demo set of training modules designed to increase motorists’ knowledge, awareness, and skills related to the safety of these vulnerable road users.
