Abstract:
The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has undertaken several initiatives to reduce crashes on its roadway network. In 2009, there were 2,201 reported crashes involving pedestrians and 866 reported crashes involving bicyclists in Michigan. In that year, 140 pedestrians and 21 bicyclists were killed in motor vehicle crashes. Bicyclists and pedestrians are legal roadway users. While bicyclists and pedestrians represented approximately 5% of all persons involved in crashes in Michigan in 2009, they represented 13% of fatalities. This disproportionately high fatality rate among bicyclists and pedestrians is of concern to MDOT.
