PedSAFE Home Page

The Road Equity Alliance Project is part of the Transportation Research Center at UNLV, and we have been working on the pedestrian safety issue for a long time!!

It is startling how many lives are lost every year in Clark County when people on our streets are hit by vehicles. In the 1990’s and early 2000’s we were always in the top ten for pedestrian fatalities per capita across the US. In fact, we landed in the top spot in 1999.

In this web site you will find lots of information you can use to help understand and/or learn about getting safely to your destination. There are videos, news stories, research, and maps that show where injuries and fatalities have occurred in our valley. There are also tools for teaching road user safety to everyone from kids to senior citizens.

After browsing our site, if you can’t find what you are looking for or need more information, please feel free to Contact Us.

If every road user was more predictable we would all be safer, no matter what the mode of travel. Our primary service is to be a resource for the community. So, if this is an issue you want to learn more about, we have a program for you! –More…

Through our wonderful partners at NV DOT, we are able to offer –More…
