        As people are being encouraged to walk and bike more for their transportation needs, professionals are obligated to make walking and bicycling as safe as possible. While some countries have seen major gains in traffic safety over the last few years, these gains disproportionately reflect reductions in passenger vehicle safety. In light of this, there is an urgency to increase the knowledge base and road safety management methods available to transportation agencies for identifying the causes and prevention of non-motorized fatalities and injuries. This presentation will cover the current state of pedestrian and bicycle safety across California; describe the challenges of obtaining the relevant data categories (crash, infrastructure, operations), and present existing and upcoming analysis methods for directing resources for safety improvements. The last part of the webinar will focus on data collection opportunities that the coming decade is expected to provide, and its implications.
