Pg. 50-91: 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. 5 -8: Traffic Analysis and Intersection Considerations to Inform Bikeway Selection

This resource supplements the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Bikeway Selection Guide and is intended to inform
trade-off decisions associated with bikeway selection at intersections. It discusses common performance metrics, spatial
needs of bikeways at intersections, safety and equity focused design principles, and operational traffic analysis trade-offs and
assumptions.

Chapter 6: Planning Shared Streets: Accessible Shared Streets: Notable Practices and Considerations for Accommodating Pedestrians with Vision Disabilities

This document reviews notable practices and considerations for accommodating pedestrians with vision disabilities on shared streets. It focuses on streets where pedestrians, bicyclists, and motor vehicles are intended to mix in the same space. The guide includes a description of shared streets, an overview of vision disabilities and the strategies people with vision disabilities use to navigate in the public right of way. It discusses the specific challenges pedestrians with vision disabilities face when navigating shared streets. It provides an overview of relevant U.S.

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.
