Information
Search: Bike Parking: 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.
Pg 12-17: Shared Micromobility in the US: 2019
For the past four years, NACTO has compiled annual statistics on the growth and use of shared micromobility (bike share, e-bike share,
and scooter share) in the US. These numbers help create a robust picture of this nascent, vibrant, and rapidly-changing mobility option
and industry, providing cities, advocates, and companies alike with a comprehensive look at trends, challenges, and opportunities.
This year, the release of the 2019 Shared Micromobility Snapshot coincides with the world-changing COVID-19 global pandemic.
Pg 34-43: Transit and Micromobility
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.
Pg 36-40: Case Studies in Delivering Safe Comfortable and Connected Pedestrian and Bicycle Networks
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.
Pg 1-4 : Application of Pedestrian Crossing Treatments for Streets and Highways
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.
Pg 90-115: Coding Nonmotorized Station Location Information in the 2016 Traffic Monitoring Guide Format
The purpose of this guide is to make it easier for users to understand how the Traffic Monitoring Guide (TMG) format describes the information that should be collected when counting multimodal users, as well as how to format that information correctly. Successfully encoding count data in the TMG format is very important for obtaining the greatest value from collected counts.
