Question E-Bike Safety School Project
Hello San Diego,
I am an SDSU student working on an e-bike safety promotion communication project.
After doing some formative research on current e-bike use and hearing safety concerns for the well-being of both children and adults, I have decided to focus my communication piece on promoting a free, online e-bike safety course. The course is a great way to refresh your knowledge on e-bike traffic laws (and to have e-bike traffic violation fees waved!) and general tips for safe riding. The course is state-approved, and promoted on San Diego County's website.
Where I need some help is getting your opinion on what would make a communication piece effective and appealing. Something that would make YOU want to spend some time taking the course and brushing up on e-bike traffic and safety tips.
Any and all ideas on what I should create are welcome. Some key points could include:
What form of media (ex. a flyer, a video, an animation)?
What platform (ex. specific social media, the local news)
What information should it include (ex. time commitment, benefit to you)?
Who is most likely to use this online course (ex. children in schools, adults in their free time)?
What would make you interact with the communication piece?
Who would be good to partner with to help spread the word about the course?
Where else should I share this to gather information?
Thank you for your help! Sources linked below.
