Pg. 5-16: Improving Safety for Pedestrians and Bicyclists Accessing Transit Improving Safety for Pedestrians and Bicyclists

Regardless of how a person began their trip; they walk, roll, or bicycle to access transit. Because of this, agencies should
understand pedestrian and bicyclist characteristics and needs when planning and designing transit systems. This guide is
intended for transit agencies, State and local roadway owners, and regional organizations involved with planning and
designing transit stops and the roadway, pedestrian, and bicycle facilities that provide access to transit. The guide contains

Pg 10-33: Guidebook for Measuring Multimodal Network Connectivity

The Guidebook for Measuring Multimodal Network Connectivity is a guide for transportation planners and analysts on the application of analysis methods and measures to support transportation planning and programming decisions. It describes a five-step analysis process and numerous methods and measures to support a variety of planning decisions. It includes references and illustrations of current practices, including materials from five case studies conducted as part of the research process.

Pg 32-97: Guidebook for Developing Pedestrian and Bicycle Performance Measures

This guidebook is intended to help communities develop performance measures that can fully integrate pedestrian and bicycle planning in ongoing performance management activities. It highlights a broad range of ways that walking and bicycling investments, activity, and impacts can be measured and documents how these measures relate to goals identified in a community's planning process. It discusses how the measures can be tracked and what data are required, while also identifying examples of communities that are currently using the respective measures in their planning process.

Pg 25-26: Strategies for Accelerating Multimodal Project Delivery

Transportation agencies face growing demand for an integrated transportation network that safely and efficiently move people. Motorists, freight, transit passengers, bicyclists, and pedestrians, including individuals with disabilities, have unique needs, and infrastructure is being adapted to the multimodal nature of travel. The project development process for multimodal projects - those intended to serve bicyclists and pedestrians - can experience delays and challenges as projects move from one phase to the next.

Pg 19-20: Case Studies in Realizing Co-Benefits of Multimodal Roadway Design and Gray and Green Infrastructure

This document highlights case studies of projects that contribute to safe and connected pedestrian and
bicycle networks in States and communities throughout the U.S., while at the same time providing
resiliency and green infrastructure benefits that promote resiliency and relieve burdens on stormwater
systems. The case studies included in the report are organized in the following categories: (1) Mitigating
Flood Risk, (2) Public-Private Partnerships, (3) Multimodal Network Connectivity, and (4) State and Locally
Driven Projects.

Pg 15-18: Pedestrian and Bicyclist Road Safety Audit (RSA) Guide and Prompt Lists

This guide is intended to support agencies that are interested in conducting pedestrian- and bicycle-focused RSAs and
includes information on safety risks for both modes, the RSA process, necessary data, and the roles and responsibilities of
the RSA Team. Also included are updated prompt lists for pedestrians and bicyclists to use in the field. This guide will aid
practitioners understand pedestrian and bicyclist issues in their jurisdiction and potentially achieve other goals in addition

Pg 162- 163: Bicycling and Walking in the United Stated 2014 Benchmarking Report

This is the fourth biennial Benchmarking Project which began in 2003. Researchers analyzed data from the 50 States and from 50 large and 17 small and midsized U.S. cities to document trends in bicycling and walking. This report uses case studies from around the world to illustrate efforts taken to support bicycling and walking. Chapter topics include: mode share, public health, safety, policies and funding, infrastructure, multimodal, programs, and personnel.
