Pg 25-26: 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.

Pg 19-20: 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.

Search: bicycle lanes: 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 162- 163: 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.

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.

Safe Streets: Safe Routes to School Toolkit

In August 2000, the Marin County Bicycle Coalition and Walk Boston, with funding from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), began to develop a national model Safe Routes to School program. To demonstrate the benefits of the Safe Routes to School program, the Marin County Bicycle Coalition recruited nine pilot schools in four locations. Each school received guidance, forms, newsletters, and other promotional materials. A transportation engineer was hired to assist in developing plans to increase safety on routes to school.
