E-MAIL: Stephanie Curtis, stephanie.curtis@fhwa.dot.gov. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) plans to award a Purchase Order to the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center for the completion of a project entitled, _FHWA Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Research Technical Information System._ The FHWA Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Research Program is a multi-year effort whose focus has been to improve pedestrian and bicyclist safety, operations and mobility through a comprehensive program of data collection and analysis, engineering, countermeasure development and evaluation, promotion and public awareness. The goal of this research effort reflects those identified in the National Bicycling and Walking Study to reduce injuries and fatalities to pedestrians and bicyclists while at the same time increasing walks and bicycling trips. The last phase of the FHWA_s Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Research Program project will be delivering the resulting information and products from this research program to the appropriate audiences by utilizing a web site format for grouping information and testing progressions of information to determine the most effective means for linking users with information relevant to their specific needs. Because the University of North Carolina performed the initial research and is familiar with the details of the studies and their reports for this research program, they are the only known source available that can complete this project. This is a Simplified Acquisition and the anticipated award date is September 6, 1999. Posted 08/24/99 (D-SN371309). (0236)
