This document outlines a volunteer training for a crosswalk safety education action. The agenda includes introductions, a presentation on pedestrian rights and responsibilities, a discussion of past actions, and next steps. Volunteers will be trained on spotting vehicles that do not stop for pedestrians in crosswalks and collecting data to raise awareness about pedestrian safety and right of way. The action aims to reduce collisions and make streets safer for all users through education and partnerships with local organizations.
