In honor of National Pedestrian Safety Month, the Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center (PBIC) created a webpage, "Connecting New Concepts to Advance Pedestrian Safety" featuring resources, webinars, and other tools to help advance safety for people who walk, bike, and use other nonmotorized modes. During each week of October, 2021, PBIC highlighted an emerging concept that can help advance safety through multidisciplinary approaches.
