The objective of this study was to quantify the impact of roadway characteristics, and bicycle infrastructure and exposure on bicycle safety for urban facilities in Florida. More specifically, this paper focused on developing Florida-specific crash modification factors for bicycle crashes. Roadway characteristics such as shared path, sidewalk, sidewalk barrier, type of on-street parking, lane width, median width, etc.; bicycle infrastructure such as bicycle lane, and bicycle slot; and bicycle volume were considered in this study. Data preparation discusses the segment, intersection, crash, and bicycle activity data preparation efforts undertaken for this study. The research focused on urban facilities as 98 percent of all bicycle crashes in Florida from 2011 to 2014 occurred in urban areas.
