transportation system and has necessitated an impressive diversity and breadth of bicycle -related <br />programs. Despite a common emphasis on projects, bicycle programs remain an important element of a <br />successful active transportation plan. Program recommendations for active transportation planning <br />have traditionally been guided by the "Six Es' approach developed by the League of American Bicyclists. <br />The Six Es represent Engineering, Education, Encouragement, Enforcement, Equity, and Evaluation. This <br />ATP recommends programs that include a complementary menu of initiatives, many of which are multi- <br />faceted, to effectively address the area of concern and provide desired outcomes. The following lists a <br />sample of the programs by their "E." Equity, the sixth "E," should be integrated into each of the other <br />"Es" to provide a comprehensive program that meets the needs of all residents in Santa Ana. <br />Education: Safety Assemblies, Bike Safety Workshops, Pedestrian and Bike Traffic Safety Fairs <br />Engineering: Enhanced bicycle and pedestrian treatments, traffic control signs, curb and high visibility <br />pavement markings, signal timing, parking controls and traffic safety monitoring. <br />Encouragement: National Bike Month, Open Street Events, Walk to School Day, 5K Running/Walking <br />events, walking tours, food and/or female focused bike rides. <br />Enforcement: Educate Police Department Staff Regarding Bicycle and Pedestrian Issues, Designate a Law <br />Enforcement Liaison Responsible for Bicycling and Walking Concerns <br />Evaluation: Active Transportation Advisory Committee, Conduct Regular Bicycle and Pedestrian Counts, <br />Regular Review of Collision Data <br />Funding Sources <br />A funding sources chapter is included in this ATP to provide the City with the resources to continue <br />successfully applying for federal, state, and local government grants. Only a fraction of that funding is <br />used to develop policies, plans, and projects to improve conditions for bicyclists and pedestrians. Even <br />though appropriate funds are available, they are limited and often hard to find. Almost every <br />implemented active transportation or complete street program and infrastructure in the United States <br />has had more than one funding source and it often takes a good deal of coordination to pull the various <br />sources together. <br />FG7 <br />55C-17 <br />
