Bicycle Safety Education for Children From a Developmental and Learning Perspective (Published - Jan. 2014)
-
First, this report describes the nature of children and adolescents' bicycle injuries in addition to understanding the types of programs that exist and their effectiveness. Second, this report explores the psychological domains related to riding a bicycle in childhood and adolescence such as motor skill development, cognitive development, brain development, and risk-taking and social influences. Understanding how each of these interacts with children's abilities to learn and ride a bicycle safely in traffic allows researchers and safety practitioners to design more effective bicycle education programs to teach children and adolescents how to safely negotiate traffic as bicyclists.

The School Transportation Security Awareness program was developed by HMC in conjunction with the National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services, the National Association of Pupil Transportation and the National School Transportation Association to provide much needed security awareness information and training to the school transportation industry. STSA focuses on terrorist and criminal threats to school buses, bus passengers and destination facilities. It is designed to provide school bus drivers, administrators, and staff members with information that will enable them to effectively identify and report perceived security threats, as well as the skills to appropriately react and respond to a security incident should it occur.

Baseline Assessment for Security Enhancement (BASE): The TSA’s BSAE is a no-cost, voluntary, risk-based program that evaluates the security posture of 200+ surface transportation systems annually. BASE aides Mass Transit and Highway Motor Carrier systems in elevating their security posture by implementing and sustaining baseline security measures applicable to their operating environments and specific system characteristics.
-
Exercise Information System (EXIS): The TSA's EXIS program is a no-cost, voluntary program that is designed to prepare a surface transportation stakeholder to effectively respond to security incidents. Through a practical exercise, EXIS examines a stakeholder’s implementation of security measures, focusing on the mission areas of Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery.
-
Risk Mitigation Activities for Surface Transportation (RMAST): The TSA's RMAST program is a no-cost, voluntary program that is designed to assist surface transportation stakeholders in mitigating risks identified through participation in other TSA programs, such as BASE. A risk-based and intelligence-driven product, RMAST provides tools to respond to current threats and vulnerabilities.
-
Security Enhancement Through Assessment (SETA): The TSA's SETA program is a no-cost, collaborative, voluntary program that is designed to evaluate and improve a surface transportation stakeholder’s vehicle inspection procedures.

Traffic Congestion around Schools
-
Published in August, 2007 by the U.S. Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS).
-
This guide is written for police, not because they are the biggest stakeholders in solving traffic congestion problems, but because they are often one of the first to be called when traffic congestion develops around schools. Police are more likely to be contacted only after tensions have developed among residents, school staff, and parents over responsibility for congestion. Police are in a unique position to serve as mediator between these groups, helping them to seek common ground in developing and implementing effective solutions and ultimately making their jobs easier by reducing the number of calls for service generated by congestion, and the traffic violations and traffic safety issues that often accompany it.
