Crash Benefit of Non-Motorized Facilities

Summary:

This project will work to quantify the safety benefit (based on crash data) of non-motorized facilities (pedestrian crossings, bike lanes, bump outs, median islands, enhanced crossings, RRFB, etc.). This data is important for agencies to make informed (data driven) decisions on how effective these facilities are at reducing crashes and providing a safer environment.

Final Deliverables:

• Crash Benefit of Non-Motorized Facilities (Report #2026RIC06)
