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
ATRC: Current Efforts

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)
