Caltrans is scoping the development of a Pedestrian Safety Improvement Program (PSIP). In its mission, organization or implementation, such a program might be analogous to the agency’s existing Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). The HSIP (see http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/LocalPrograms/HSIP/Documents/HSIP_Guidelines.pdf) is a federally funded core program that implements countermeasures to improve safety on publicly owned roadway or bicycle/pedestrian pathways or trails. HSIP projects are consistent with California’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan (http://www.dot.ca.gov/SHSP/).
This Preliminary Investigation centered around two data-related needs in support of a PSIP:
1.
Methods for deploying and evaluating pedestrian safety improvement measures.
2.
A broader understanding of data needs and collection approaches to support pedestrian safety programs.
