Pedestrian and cyclist collisions with motor vehicles are a growing
problem in the United States and in particular Austin, Texas. These collisions cause
unnecessary loss of life and injury. This research explores strategies in the realms of
engineering, education and enforcement from three leading cities for pedestrian and
cyclist safety. Based on the analysis, I have identified possible strategies for use in
Austin, Texas to prevent these collision types. I also offer a conceptual model that can be
used as a framework for organizing and thinking about the various components involved
in preventing pedestrian and cyclist collisions with motor vehicles. / text
