Changes in the ATP Guidelines - Applications and Scoring in Cycle 6

The Safe Routes Partnership is pleased to announce the third and final in the ATP Cycle 6 series of webinars focused on California’s Active Transportation Program: Changes in the ATP Guidelines - Applications and Scoring in Cycle 6.

The passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law paired with the Biden Administration’s release of the National Roadway Safety Strategy makes this a unique moment in to prioritize the safety of people – including young people – in transportation planning and investment. How can you make the most of the focus on a Safe System approach to invest or re-invest in Safe Routes to School?

  Research

Key takeaways:

  • Modifying the built environment to increase walkability and promote physical activity often has the added benefit of reducing the risk of pedestrian injury. However, how to best measure pedestrian injury is not clearly defined in physical activity literature.
  • Crash data from police reports include the frequency of pedestrian injury but not the severity.
  • Few studies regarding the creation of walkable communities include data that measure the severity of pedestrian injury.
  • Due to the strict criteria applied to this research, limited studies were fully evaluated. The studies that were evaluated were categorized by four different interventions:  
    • The impact of pedestrian countdown timer signals (PCS) on pedestrian motor vehicle collisions (PMVC).
    • The use of crash data from police reports to evaluate unsignalized pedestrian crossings and injuries.
    • Traffic calming interventions focused on slowing traffic including speed humps, speed bumps, and shared space.
    • The impacts of Vision Zero initiatives or comprehensive traffic safety programs, on pedestrian safety.

We at the Safe Routes Partnership hope 2022 is off to a happy, healthy start for you and your communities. We celebrated the passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) late in 2021, and now we are here to help you take advantage of the positive policy changes and new money included in the law.

  Research

Key takeaways:

  • This study provides quantitative data supporting a policy of reducing vehicle speed limits to 20 miles per hour (mph).
  • Reducing the speed limit causes drivers to slow down.
  • Reducing the speed limit does not motivate drivers to change their mode of transportation from driving to active travel. Because there is not a decrease in vehicle volume, the authors infer that the reduction in speed did not increase feelings of safety enough to shift modal choice (i.e., choosing to bike rather than drive). 
  • Public attitudes toward a 20-mph speed limit policy improved after the intervention while public perceptions of safety did not change.

On Tuesday, January 11th from 11 am to noon Mountain, the Colorado Department of Transportation is hosting a free webinar presented by the Safe Routes Partnership:

Now that the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 (IIJA) has been signed into law, we are seeing a flurry of excitement about what it means for Safe Routes to School, walking, and bicycling. And we are also seeing uncertainty about what the law requires and what it offers related to Safe Routes to School. In particular, the section that restored the Safe Routes to School program is leading to confusion for advocates and agencies alike. We are here to help you make sense of it what it means, why it happened like this, and what to do about it.
