Agenda Title:

15TP015– Acknowledge the receipt of the Rapid City Area Metropolitan Planning Organization Pedestrian and Bicyclist Crash Report 2002-2014.

Summary:

The Rapid City Area Metropolitan Planning Organization, in conjunction with the City of Rapid City Engineering Services Division, produces a yearly Pedestrian and Bicyclist Crash Report. The report categorizes and analyzes all reported pedestrian and bicyclist crashes, and provides recommendations on methods to reduce these crashes.  While the report does not contain specific mitigation strategies, it does recommend a re-examination of the methods used to deliver the message of safety to pedestrians, bicyclists and drivers. Here are the highlights:

·         Priority should be placed on efforts to educate pedestrians, bicyclists and drivers about safety practices associated with non-motorized modes of transportation.

·         Particular emphasis should be placed on programs to effectively reach the under 19 year-old age group

·         Additional consideration should be given to educational efforts related to the risks associated with pedestrians under the influence of alcohol.
