Pg 77-78: PedSafe Countermeasures San FransicoPhase 2 Final Report

This report presents the methods and key findings from San Francisco PedSafe, a comprehensive pedestrian safety planning and engineering project. It is one of three such projects in the nation funded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to evaluate:
In Phase I: The effectiveness of a pedestrian safety plan targeted to higher-injury areas;
In Phase II: The implementation of a range of mostly low-to-moderate-cost, innovative safety improvements.

Pg 28-36: PedSafe Countermeasures Las Vegas Phase 2 Final Report

The goals of the program are to deploy and evaluate countermeasures (that were identified and developed in Phase 1) to help improve pedestrian safety and walkability (and reduce/minimize risk). The intent of this program is to serve as an example of what would lead to the implementation of successful pedestrian safety countermeasures across the nation. Some of the countermeasures deployed in Phase 2 have been selected in consultation with Florida (Miami-Dade County) team and San Francisco team.

Pg 9-1 to 9-3: NCHRP Report 600: Human Factors Guidelines for Road Systems

TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 600: Human Factors Guidelines for Road Systems: Second Edition provides data and insights of the extent to which road users’ needs, capabilities, and limitations are influenced by the effects of age, visual demands, cognition, and influence of expectancies. NCHRP Report 600 provides guidance for roadway location elements and traffic engineering elements. The report also provides tutorials on special design topics, an index, and a glossary of technical terms.

Statistics_Area Type;Statistics_Location Type;Statistics_Time of Occurrence: Pedestrian Safety Guide and Countermeasure Selection System (PEDSAFE)

The Pedestrian Safety Guide and Countermeasure Selection System is intended to provide practitioners with the latest information available for improving the safety and mobility of those who walk. The online tools provide the user with a list of possible engineering, education, or enforcement treatments to improve pedestrian safety and/or mobility based on user input about a specific location.

Statistics_Area Type;Statistics_Location Type;Statistics_Time of Occurrence: Bicycle Safety Guide and Countermeasure Selection System (BIKESAFE)

The Bicycle Safety Guide and Countermeasure Selection System is intended to provide practitioners with the latest information available for improving the safety and mobility of those who bike. The online tools provide the user with a list of possible engineering, education, or enforcement treatments to improve bicycle safety and/or mobility based on user input about a specific location.

Pg 164-165: Bicycling and Walking in the United Stated 2014 Benchmarking Report

This is the fourth biennial Benchmarking Project which began in 2003. Researchers analyzed data from the 50 States and from 50 large and 17 small and midsized U.S. cities to document trends in bicycling and walking. This report uses case studies from around the world to illustrate efforts taken to support bicycling and walking. Chapter topics include: mode share, public health, safety, policies and funding, infrastructure, multimodal, programs, and personnel.
