TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND OUTREACH

The ATRC’s mission is to provide resources, technical assistance, and

training to active transportation partners across California to increase opportunity for the success of active

transportation projects

What does the ATRC offer?

TRAINING Provides In-Classroom Training on bicycle and pedestrian planning, design, and

safety

Provides Webinar Training on non-infrastructure and active transportation topics

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE Provides Technical Assistance though individualized support and/or workshops to

encourage ATP participation for Infrastructure and Non-Infrastructure projects

RESOURCES/TOOLS Develops Tools to inform and support active transportation projects

Provides Resources for use on various active transportation project types

ATP-Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) Toolo ATP-TIMS Tool was used successfully in CY 4 of the ATP

ATP-TIMS Tool

The SATDB and Count Guidance is needed to:

Meet the data collection and reporting needs of the ATPo Establish statewide counting methodologieso Develop a methodology to determine project level counts

Establish statewide consistencies for active transportation data collection and reporting

› Automated Bike/Ped Counter Loan Program

Statewide Active Transportation Count Database (SATDB) and Count

Guidance

Active Transportation ProgramBenefit-Cost Comparison Tool

Develop a research-based easy-to-use tool to compare ATP projects through a variety of benefits.

Ability to update over time, as more research becomes available, to continually make the tool more reliable and consistent.

This tool could be used as part of the ATP application evaluation process in future ATP cycles.

ATP-TIMS Tool Updates and Street Story for ATP

ATP-TIMS Tool updates are needed to: Create a new feature that will allow a user to create

a Before/After Report of crash data for a specific project limits

Street Story for ATP is needed to:

Allow agencies to solicit public input on an ATP project

ATP Project Assessment Contract

Assist agencies in conducting before and after counts, safety analysis, and other benefits for ATP projects to ensure accuracy and consistency

• Collect before data

• Collect after data

• Collect 3-5 year after data (Impact Analysis)
