Request for Proposal (RFP)
For Neighborhoods to Receive Funding and Guidance to Improve Pedestrian Safety
The UNC Highway Safety Research Center (HSRC) is seeking up to 10 communities or neighborhoods interested in making their environment walkable and safe for pedestrians. Each selected site will be provided $2,000 for their participation, as well as technical assistance from pedestrian safety experts.
Funding for this project is provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). HSRC received this funding from NHTSA to pilot test the newly developed guidebook entitled A Resident's Guide for Creating Safe and Walkable Communities. The Resident's Guide is designed to be used by anyone who is looking for ways to improve the pedestrian safety and walkability of their neighborhood, whether they are just beginning to learn about pedestrian safety or are already part of an established community safety group.
Completed proposals are due on May 29, 2009. Proposals must be submitted in one document in a PDF or WORD format using our online proposal submission form. HSRC anticipates selecting the awarded communities in mid-July 2009.
