The safety of non-motorized transportation systems is essential to the public acceptance and overall success of Washington State and local jurisdictions efforts to reduce congestion. The State and the jurisdictions goals to increase non-SOV travel options and the use of transit, need to be combined with those to insure the safety of these alternatives. This project is the continuation of current work developing and using a database of 13,914 individual pedestrian and bike collisions. This database is the first in the nation to have geocoded individual collisions in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for the entire State (1999-2004). Having the precise location of a large number of collisions over a period of several years promises that significant progress can be made in explaining factors associated with collisions and in identifying underlying causes. The new Washington State collision database is particularly momentous that the State also has some of the most advanced data on road characteristics and land uses associated with trip origins and destinations. These latter data are accessible in GIS for all populated areas of the State and available at the finest resolution.
