Safe Transportation for Every Pedestrian (STEP)
Watch Anytime
Crosswalk Visibility
Crosswalk Visibility Enhancements, one of the STEP program countermeasures, can reduce crash risk for pedestrians by using low cost improvements such as signage, markings, and overhead lighting to increase the conspicuity of pedestrians at or in the crosswalk.
Refuge Islands
Pedestrian Refuge Islands, one of the
STEP program countermeasures, can reduce crash risk for pedestrians by providing a raised median in the middle of the roadway where pedestrians may cross in two stages.
Raised Crosswalks
Raised Crosswalks, one of the STEP program countermeasures, can reduce crash risk for pedestrians by slowing traffic at intersections and mid-block locations.
Hybrid Beacons
Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons (PHBs), one of the STEP program countermeasures, can reduce crash risk for pedestrians by controlling traffic on multi-lane or high speed roadways.
Road
Diets
Road Diets, one of the STEP program countermeasures, can reduce crash risk for pedestrians by reducing vehicle speeds, turning conflicts, and crossing distance.

- Labor and employee relations concerns;
- Rate of required change; and,
- Positioning technology as an enabler and not a barrier.
During this conversation, we will highlight lessons learned that you may be able to apply in your agency to help cover these or similar obstacles you face.
Preparing and Communicating Effective Utility Relocation Requirements
Watch Anytime
Implementing effective utility relocation requirements is crucial to achieve success in highway projects. Lack of utility relocation requirements can lead to:
- Time delays in transportation projects
- Cost overruns
- An increase in construction contractor’s risk
- Less qualified bidders or higher bids on transportation projects
Preparing and Communicating Effective Utility Relocation Requirements (FHWA-NHI-134117) is a self-paced, web-based training that provides state transportation and local public agency personnel and FHWA division officials with valuable knowledge on the importance of utility agreements and its requirements.
After completing this 3.5 hour course, learners will be able to:
- Identify and apply the elements needed for their projects
- Improve project delivery
- Minimize cost and time change orders in utility agreements and utility-related construction bid packages
Transportation officials, don’t allow the lack of utility relocation requirements to cause project delays. Enroll today to learn how incorporating utility relocation requirements can push your organization’s projects in the right direction.
