Statewide Transportation Research ProgramProject Description
Traffic collisions are just one example of the negative externalities resulting from motorized transportation, along with noise, congestion, localized air pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. Although some crashes involve only non-motorized modes, most pedestrian and bicycle crashes involve automobiles and other large motorized vehicles. While reducing pedestrian and bicycle collisions should be a priority everywhere, reducing them in Southern California has unique importance. In 2016, California had the 10th most pedestrian fatalities per resident in the United States, and SCAG anticipates an increase in walking and bicycling throughout the region over the next few decades.
