This often includes treatments to lower motorist speeds along linear road segments or during turning movements at intersections where pedestrians and bicyclists are expected. The Washington State Injury Minimization and Speed Management Policy Elements and Implementation Recommendations published in 2020 provide more information.  \nLevel of Traffic Stress – A relative, but objective measure of the systemic safety of transportation facilities for pedestrians and bicyclists. Roadways are assigned a score based on roadway characteristics including posted speed, the number of vehicles using the road, the number of vehicle travel lanes, and the presence of dedicated modal facilities like bike lanes and sidewalks. It is typically presented on a scale of 1 to 4. Plan for Level of Traffic Stress document provides more information.  \nRoad Characteristics/Features – These include the basic components of a road including width, number of lanes, posted speed, traffic volume, traffic separators, various user type facilities, traffic control devices, and intersection/crossing frequency.  \nRoute Directness – A measure of how far out of direction a pedestrian or cyclist is expected to travel to reach their destination. The Washington State Multimodal Permeability Pilot Report published in 2021 provides more information.  \nSafe System Approach – A method to eliminate fatal and serious injuries for all road users using a holistic view of the road system that first anticipates human mistakes and second aims to increase a person’s chances of survival by reducing crash impact forces. The 2019 Washington State Strategic Highway Safety Plan provides more information.  \n02 How to use this guide  \nReview section 03 Pedestrian/Bicyclist program overview for an introduction to the program and to select project type. For all projects review section 04 Considerations for all projects, and then the respective section for the selected project type:  \n• 05 Pedestrian/bicyclist program infrastructure projects  \n• 06 Pedestrian/bicyclist program development/design-only projects  \n03 Pedestrian/Bicyclist program overview  \nSince 2005 the Pedestrian/Bicyclist Program ( PBP) has been improving the safety and mobility of people walking, biking, and rolling in communities across the state. The purpose of the Pedestrian/Bicyclist Program as established in RCW 47.04.430 is to improve pedestrian and bicyclist safety and mobility and increase active transportation trips.  \nThis program runs on a biennial cycle with calls for projects opening in the even years and awards made in the odd years. WSDOT Active Transportation Division evaluatesand ranks project proposals for the Washington State Legislature. The Legislature and the Governor are tasked with approving the project list rankings and setting the funding level. The process is as follows:  \nThe report can be found on WSDOT’s Legislative Reports webpage or on the Pedestrian/Bicyclist Program webpage before the end of December (even years) . When the transportation budget is finalized awards, project obligation, and project delivery assistance will be managed by WSDOT Local Programs Division.  \nEligibility  \nAll public agencies in Washington, including tribal governments and nonprofit entities are eligible to participate.
