Search: Shared Path: Crash Modification Factors Clearinghouse

A crash modification factor (CMF) is a multiplicative factor used to compute the expected number of crashes after implementing a given countermeasure at a specific site. The Crash Modification Factors Clearinghouse houses a Web-based database of CMFs along with supporting documentation to help transportation engineers identify the most appropriate countermeasure for their safety needs. Using this site, you can search to find CMFs or submit your own CMFs to be included in the clearinghouse.

Lesson 9: Planning and Designing for Pedestrian Safety

COURSE DESCRIPTION: The Planning and Designing for Pedestrian Safety is a combination of the information from the 2-day "Developing a Pedestrian Safety Action Plan" (NHI-380089) and 2-day "Designing for Pedestrian Safety" (NHI-380090) course. This comprehensive course is designed to help state and local officials learn "HOW TO" address pedestrian safety issues in the development of a pedestrian safety action plan, and specific programs and activities tailored to their community.

Pg 135-154: FHWA Course on Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation

This Student Workbook contains 24 lessons of resource material that is intended for use in university courses on bicycle and pedestrian transportation. The lessons span a wide range of topics including an introduction to bicycling and walking issues, planning and designing for bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and supporting elements and programs. This is the second edition of the Student Workbook;the first edition was published as Report No. FHWA-RD-99-198.

Lesson 3: Bicycle Facility Design

COURSE DESCRIPTION: This training will assist planners and designers in learning how to apply the existing standards and how to deal with other technical issues involved. The availability of Federal, State, and local transportation funding for bicycle facilities that serve transportation and recreational users is resulting in a dramatic increase in the number of bicycling (and shared use) facilities being planned and built.

Pg 15-16: 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.
