62 Background and Motivation The Oregon Department of Transportation (Oregon DOT) created a systemic safety method to inform their Statewide Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Implementation Plan with a goal to identify and prioritize candidate project corridors through a data-driven process to reduce fatal and severe-injury pedestrian and bicycle crashes on all public roads (regardless of jurisdiction)

Case Example 2: Oregon Department of Transportation 63 cost-effectiveness analysis to identify or help prioritize pedestrian and bicycle safety improvement projects without relying only on existing crash data. The cost-effectiveness method also does not rely on monetizing pedestrian and bicycle crashes to prioritize projects.

64 Systemic Pedestrian Safety Analysis Step 4: Identify Potential Treatment Sites Oregon DOT staff screened the network to identify potential treatment sites by applying a twopronged approach: a crash-based approach and a risk-based approach. Under the crash-based approach, priority corridors were identified for both pedestrian and bicycle improvements by using crash frequency and severity over 5 years.

From page 65... ...
Case Example 2: Oregon Department of Transportation 65 The expected reduction in pedestrian crashes would be determined by the difference in the expected crashes without treatment and the expected crashes with treatment. This ratio estimates the cost to reduce one vehicle–pedestrian crash.
