Micromobility refers to small, low-speed vehicles intended for personal use and includes station-based bikeshare systems, dockless bikeshare systems, electric-assist bikeshare, and electric scooters. Micromobility has the potential to increase the number of transit trips by expanding the reach of multimodal transportation, but it also could replace transit trips.
This report provides information to aid school and local officials, engineers, architects, planners, and developers in creating walkable, community-based schools. A major emphasis is on the design of new schools for maximum walkability, traffic safety, and efficiency. This report also addresses these issues for the improvement or redevelopment of existing school sites.
The Handbook augments the 2009 Edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). The Traffic Control Devices Handbook, 2nd Edition provides guidance and information to implement the provisions of the MUTCD. The objective of the Handbook is to bridge the gap between the MUTCD requirements and field applications. Additional guidance is provided on the new MUTCD requirements to clarify these MUTCD provisions. The Handbook does not establish policy, procedures, or standards for an agency, or set the "standard-of-care" for decisions on traffic control devices.
This implementation manual is intended for local governments who want to make improvements to existing conditions that affect bicycling. Thirteen of the most typical situations or factors that impact bicycle use are considered. For each situation or factor the manual provides (as appropriate) a problem overview, a solution overview, implementation strategies, objectives, resource requirements, subtasks, a schedule, specifications, and references.
To better understand the different ways in which communities are improving their pedestrian and bicycle networks, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Division Offices gathered and compiled examples of pedestrian and bicycle network improvement projects initiated by state departments of transportation (DOTs), metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), counties, cities, and other local entities.

TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 500, Vol. 18, Guidance for Implementation of the AASHTO Strategic Highway Safety Plan: A Guide for Reducing Collisions Involving Bicycles provides strategies that can be employed to reduce collisions involving bicycles.
TRB's NCHRP Synthesis 498: Application of Pedestrian Crossing Treatments for Streets and Highways compiles information on the state of existing practices regarding application of pedestrian crossing improvements, and does not produce new guidance. The report includes a survey of state departments of transportation (DOTs) and local transportation agencies, a synthesis of current recommended practice and policy guidance, and a literature review of safety evidence for more than 25 pedestrian crossing treatments.
