    Detailed Findings From Bicyclist Focus Groups
    
  
  
      Where and how often Hispanic bicyclists rideParticipants reported a range of bicycling behaviors. Many rely on their bicycle as a means of transportation to get to and from work, to run errands, and for leisure activities or exercise. One participant reported using his bicycle for work as a bicycle courier in New York. Some participants combined their riding with other forms of transportation (e.g. the bus), and were more likely to use alternative transportation in bad weather or at night.
    Detailed Findings From Pedestrian Focus Groups
    
  
  
      The findings reported here are from the four focus groups that focused on issues related to Hispanic pedestrian safety. The findings are topically organized. After each section, several quotes from group participants are included in italics. The quotes are associated with their respective cities (Washington, New York, Miami, and Los Angeles).
    Research Logistics
    
  
  
      Recruitment Process for Focus GroupsThe Media Network designed recruiting screeners to make sure that participants in the focus groups fit the profile of respondents FHWA/NHTSA was seeking. We had two different group types in each city: Hispanic pedestrians and Hispanic bicyclists. Our goal was to have approximately eight to nine participants in each group.
    Executive Summary
    
  
  
      IntroductionThe Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (FHWA/NHTSA) contracted with The Center for Applied Research (CAR) and its subcontractor The Media Network, Inc. (TMN) to conduct research related to Hispanic pedestrian and bicycle safety. As part of this research, TMN and CAR investigated crash statistics for this population group, made contacts to Hispanic organizations to collect information and build partnerships, and held eight (8) focus groups with Hispanic bicyclists and pedestrians.
