The guidance includes tools, policy alternatives, educational materials, institutional requirements, and other relevant techniques to mitigate, if not eliminate, identified risks.

Project Overview

This research project identified emerging behavioral safety issues arising from the expanding use of e-scooters, both rental and privately owned, and developed comprehensive guidance to help affected agencies plan for and mitigate related safety problems. The guidance includes tools, policy alternatives, educational materials, institutional requirements, and other relevant techniques to mitigate if not eliminate identified risk

Assessing Effects of Speed Camera Programs on Pedestrian and Bicycle Crashes (BTS-47)

The objectives of this research are to (1) develop an understanding of the effects of speed camera programs on pedestrian and bicycle crashes, and (2) provide guidance for jurisdictions to measure effects of speed camera programs on pedestrian and bicycle crashes, including downstream effects beyond speed camera locations. The research should consider fine structures, payment of fines, and in which contexts speed cameras may be most effective. Findings can be used states and jurisdictions (1) to help decide if and where to implement speed cameras most effectively to target vulnerable road user crashes and (2) to communicate the benefits of speed cameras to the public.
