Pg 9-10: 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.

Website: Micromobility Policy Atlas

The Micromobility Policy Atlas classifies shared bike, e-bike, and scooter policies across a dozen areas of regulation and management, providing information on guidelines, permits, and laws from from around the world. Search and refine by mode, country, policy type, or year, or just use the map. Each policy page outlines operating rules like parking and use of bike lanes;fleet size limits, fees, and fares;equity plans and requirements;data standards, communications, and geofencing guidelines;and links to original policy documents.

Pg 1-26: Urban Bikeway Design Guide

The purpose of the NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide (part of the Cities for Cycling initiative) is to provide cities with state-of-the-practice solutions that can help create complete streets that are safe and enjoyable for bicyclists.

Pg 67-89: 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. As with the motorized formats, the TMG nonmotorized format will be the required format for

All: 2019 FARS/CRSS Pedestrian Bicyclist Crash Typing Manual: A Guide for Coders Using the FARS/CRSS Ped/Bike Typing Tool

The development of effective countermeasures to prevent pedestrian and bicyclist crashes is often hindered by State crash files that contain insufficient details about these types of crashes. To remedy this, Pedestrian and Bicycle Crash Typing was developed to describe pre-crash actions of involved parties to better define the sequence of events and precipitating actions leading to crashes between motor vehicles and pedestrians or bicyclists.

Pg 35-36: Manual on Pedestrian and Bicycle Connections to Transit

This manual provides a compendium of best practices to help transportation professionals improve pedestrian and bicycle safety and access to transit, including information on evaluating, planning for, and implementing improvements to pedestrian and bicycle access to transit. In addition to covering key concepts such as access sheds, connected networks, and station area comfort, safety, and legibility, the manual covers needs specific to pedestrians, such as complete sidewalks and safe, convenient crossings, and to bicyclists, such as bicycle parking and on-transit accommodations.

Pg 1-11: Implementing Bicycle Improvements at the Local Level

This implementation manual is intended for local governments who want to make improvements to existing conditions that affect bicycling. Thirteen of the most typical situations or factors that impact bicycle use are considered. For each situation or factor the manual provides (as appropriate) a problem overview, a solution overview, implementation strategies, objectives, resource requirements, subtasks, a schedule, specifications, and references.
