Abstract:Pedestrians, bicyclists, and other nonmotorist road users account for a growing share of all U.S. traffic fatalities in recent decades (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 2019). An even larger number of nonmotorists are seriously injured each year in collisions involving motor vehicles. Addressing these issues requires a national, collaborative, and comprehensive approach to nonmotorized road user safety. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) supports a systemic safety approach and proven safety countermeasures to develop cost-effective projects and programs that address safety risk (FHWA 2021a; FHWA 2021b). Foundational to this approach is a better understanding of nonmotorized road user safety risks, which requires high-quality, objective data. Crash data are a primary data source for analyzing and understanding these crash risks. However, crash data are often not as complete or descriptive for crashes involving nonmotorists as for crashes that involve only motorists. The Pedestrian and Bicycle Crash Analysis Tool (PBCAT) Version 3.0 is the latest iteration of a tool that helps road safety professionals improve crash data about nonmotorist crashes to better understand and address nonmotorist road user safety risks (FHWA n.d.a).
