Flocks is the founder and president of PEDS, a member-based advocacy organization dedicated to making metro Atlanta safe and accessible for all pedestrians. She founded PEDS in 1996 after brain surgery enabled her to control a seizure disorder that had prevented her from driving during most of her adult life.
Her efforts have prompted pedestrian-friendly changes at the local, regional and state level in Georgia, including making high-visibility crosswalk markings the state standard, publication of a state pedestrian facilities design guidebook, use of camera systems to ticket red light runners, creating a Safe Routes to School program, and installation of in-street crosswalk signs. For more information, visit www.peds.org
Flocks participates in the Beltline Network, the Atlanta Regional Commission’s Bicycle-Pedestrian Task Force, and the Livable Communities Coalition Advisory Committee. She also serves on the Board of Directors of America Walks, a national coalition of pedestrian advocacy groups, and on the steering committees of Complete Streets and the Safe Routes to School National Partnership.
Flocks has been interviewed by local and national media and has expertise on pedestrian issues, transportation funding, and safety.
