Pg 103-106: Achieving Multimodal Networks: Applying Design Flexibility and Reducing Conflicts

Multimodal transportation networks provide access to jobs, education, health care, recreation, transit, and other essential services in urban, suburban, and rural areas throughout the United States. Interconnected pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure makes walking and bicycling a viable transportation choice for everyone and this contributes to the health, equity, and quality of life of our communities. This publication is a resource for practitioners seeking to build multimodal transportation networks.

Pg 5-50: Pedestrian and Bicycle Transportation Along Existing Roads

TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 803: Pedestrian and Bicycle Transportation Along Existing Roads—ActiveTrans Priority Tool Guidebook presents a tool and guidance that may be used to help prioritize improvements to pedestrian and bicycle facilities, either separately or together as part of a “complete streets” evaluation approach.

Pg 5-9: 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 9-12: 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 37-47: 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.
