    Bicycle Pedestrian Commission

    The function of the Bicycle Pedestrian Commission is to review, monitor and make recommendations regarding City transportation matters including but not limited to bicycle and pedestrian traffic, parking, education and recreation within Cupertino (also see Municipal Code 2.92.080 Powers and Functions). In July 2015 the Commission voted unanimously to establish a mission statement including measurable objectives to be achieved by the end of 2025. This will guide the Commission’s priorities and will be central to defining the upcoming 2016 Bicycle plan.  

    The objectives are as follows:  

    • Be one of the top 5 cities in California for biking and walking and achieve Gold status from the League of American Bicyclists.     
    • Expand middle and high school student bicycle and pedestrian trips to 40% of total school commutes.     
    • Expand intra-city trips for errands and leisure by adults and seniors via bicycle/walking to 20% of trips.
    • Expand resident bicycle/pedestrian commuting to major Cupertino employers and De Anza College to 15% of total trips.

    Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety Investigations

    Background

    Pedestrians and Bicyclists Made Up a Fifth of All Highway Fatalities. According to Caltrans, pedestrians and bicyclists made up 21 percent of all fatalities on the SHS between 2008 and 2017. Across all highways and roads in California, pedestrians and bicyclists made up approximately 29 percent of the fatalities in 2018. Moreover, the number of pedestrians and bicyclists fatalities on highways and roads has grown significantly in recent years. As show in Figure 8, between 2004 and 2018, pedestrian fatalities grew by 31 percent and bicyclist fatalities grew by 41 percent. (At the time of this writing, Caltrans had not provided annual historic information regarding the number of fatalities specifically on the SHS.)

    Figure 8: Bicyclist and Pedestrian Fatalities in California 

    Caltrans’ Traffic Operations Program Addresses Safety Concerns on State Highways. To improve traffic safety on the SHS, Caltrans currently has five traffic safety programs that investigate high‑collision areas, develop safety measures, and implement proposed improvements. These programs focus on different types of collisions, such as wrong way collisions and collisions where vehicles run onto the shoulder. In recent years, Caltrans—in collaboration with UC Berkeley—implemented two pilot programs to improve safety for pedestrians and bicyclists. These pilot programs identified locations on the highway with high concentrations of pedestrian and bicyclist deaths and injuries based on historical data, investigated these locations to determine probable cause of the deaths and injuries, and recommended capital and maintenance projects to improve pedestrian and bicyclist safety.

    Governor’s Proposal

    The budget includes $2.2 million on a two‑year, limited‑term basis from the SHA to establish the Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety Investigation Program. The proposal would fund 12 transportation engineers who are expected to perform a total of 400 investigations of collisions involving pedestrians and bicyclists. Each investigation is expected to require 54 hours to complete. In addition, district staff would receive training on appropriate investigation techniques and development of countermeasures for pedestrian and bicyclist collisions.

    Assessment

    Proposal to Expand Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety Investigations Is Reasonable. In total, the pilots identified almost 400 locations of pedestrian or bicyclist collisions on the SHS warranting investigation. Given the number of pedestrians and bicyclists fatalities on the SHS, as well as the trend of rising fatalities statewide, it is reasonable to dedicate additional resources to address pedestrian and bicyclist safety on the SHS. In addition, given that this is a new program, we find the request for limited‑term positions to be reasonable.

    Uncertainty About Underlying Trends. While the request for expanding pedestrian and bicyclist safety investigations is reasonable, there is uncertainty about the underlying factors leading to the rising number of pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities. Caltrans reports that the department’s increasing use of pedestrian and bicyclist friendly design in their planning and construction might have led to increased use of the SHS by pedestrians and bicyclists, resulting in an accompanying increase of pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities. However, more pedestrian and bicyclists might be involved in fatal collisions for many reasons. For example, there may be more pedestrians on the SHS as a result of the growing number of homeless camps near highways. 

    Recommendation

    Approve Proposal and Require Report. We recommend that the Legislature approve Caltrans’ request for two‑year limited term funding of $2.2 million from SHA. We find that providing additional resources to concentrate efforts on investigating pedestrian and bicycle collisions is reasonable given what appears to be a growing problem. In addition, we recommend the Legislature adopt supplemental reporting language requiring the department to provide a report by January 10, 2022, related to its efforts to investigate and reduce pedestrian and bicycle fatalities. Specifically, the report should include information on (1) the number of pedestrian and bicyclist traffic safety collisions, fatalities, and investigations conducted; (2) key findings or trends resulting from these investigations, including insights into the causes of the higher number of fatalities in recent years; (3) the traffic safety improvements made to the SHS as a result of these investigations; and (4) the implementation of the proposed training for district staff on appropriate pedestrian and bicyclist collision investigation techniques and development of countermeasures. This information would better allow the Legislature to review the effectiveness of the Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety Investigation Program, which could then inform decisions regarding the appropriate level of ongoing resources for the safety programs, as well as other actions the state might take to reduce the number of collisions and fatalities.

    Palo Alto has been at the forefront of bicycle and pedestrian planning since the early 1980’s, when the City developed the nation’s first bicycle boulevard on Bryant Street. Combined with a lively and historic downtown, and great connections to Stanford University and regional transit, the city attracts commuters, students, and visitors alike to bicycle or walk at much higher rates than other South Bay Area communities. Palo Alto can build upon this history and demand for bicycling and walking to solidify its status as one of the most bicycle-friendly communities in California, if not the country.

    Want to Walk or Bike to School?

    Palo Alto is home to one of the nation’s leading Safe Routes to School programs. An impressive average of 44% of high school students commute to school on bicycle in part due to the past efforts to provide bicycle-friendly infrastructure within the community.

    Walking and Biking to School By: Phyllis Agran, MD, FAAP Walking and bike riding are healthy ways to get to and from school. Skipping the school drop-off traffic for more active commutes can contribute to the recommended 60 minutes of physical activity kids need each day. Trips powered by feet, rather than vehicles, also can help reduce pollution, which can trigger breathing problems in children, and make neighborhoods friendlier places. Here’s what parents need to know to keep kids safe as they walk or bike to school.


    Here’s what parents need to know to keep kids safe as they walk or bike to school. 

    Walking to School


    Is my child ready to walk to school alone?

    Children usually aren’t ready to start walking to school without an adult until about fifth grade, or around age 10. Younger children are more impulsive and less cautious around traffic, and they often don’t fully understand other potential dangers they could come across.

    By walking with your children to and from school, you can familiarize them with the neighborhood, teach them about traffic signs, street signs and directions, and model correct behaviors when crossing streets. It’s also a great opportunity for some chat time with your kids.

    Keep these tips in mind when walking with your child to and from school:

    • When crossing streets, hold your child’s hand and always observe the traffic safety laws.
    • Observe all traffic signals and let the school crossing guard help you.
    • Be sure to look all ways before crossing the street, and continue to watch for vehicles. Remind children drivers may not always see them.
    • Consider starting a           walking school bus by inviting families in your neighborhood to walk children to school together as a group. Adults may take turns walking with the group, so make sure each child knows the adults in their walking group.

    Tweens and teens: Walking to school safely

    Children are each different, so consider their individual developmental and maturity level when deciding if it is safe for them to walk to school without an adult. Some children may not have the skills to focus on safe pedestrian behavior until they are 10 or older.

    For students walking to school without an adult, some points to consider:

    • Make sure they stick to a safe route to school, one with well-trained adult crossing guards at every intersection.
    • If they need to cross any streets on the way to school, practice safe street crossing with them before the start of school. 
    • Ideally, they should walk with at least one neighbor child or older sibling. 
    • Make sure they know how to say “no” if someone they don’t know offers a ride, and that they yell and run for help if needed. 
    • Explain to them that it is not safe to use a cell phone or text while walking, which makes them less aware of traffic. 
    • Choose brightly colored backpacks, jackets and other accessories, ideally with reflective materials for days when it begins to get dark earlier.

    Biking to School 

    Bike riding is also a great way to get to and from school, when children are ready. Remember kids need to learn to be safe pedestrians before they can be safe bicyclists. 

    Once they’re ready to roll, here are some basic bike safety steps to help keep them safe:

    • Rules of the Road. All bicycle riders should follow the basic rules of the road, which also apply to skateboards, scooters and other non-motorized vehicles:
      - Ride on the right, in the same direction as traffic using bike lanes when available.
      - Stop and look both ways before entering the street.- Stop at all intersections, whether marked or unmarked.- Respect traffic lights and stop signs.- Before turning, use hand signals and look in every direction.
    • Use Your Head. Always wear a bicycle helmet, no matter how short or long the ride. The helmet should be approved by the           Consumer Product Safety Commission.
    • Riding Ready? Ride with younger children, and don’t let them ride on the street.  Use your judgment about letting older children ride in traffic. Consider how heavy road traffic is where they’ll be riding, how mature they are, and how well they can stay focused on traffic and follow rules of the road.
    • Practice Ahead of Time. Practice the bike route to school before the first day of school to make sure your child can manage it.
    • See the Light. Children should only ride a bike when there is plenty of daylight. Wear white or bright-colored clothing to increase visibility.
    • Distracted Riders. Remind bike riders not to talk on the cell phone or text while riding and avoid other distractions like eating.
    • Bike Maintenance. Show children how to check tire air pressure,  brakes, and seat and handlebar height, and do these things at least once a year.

    Don’t Forget… 

    Walking and biking to school helps keep children, and their communities, happy and healthy. Parents can support and encourage community programs with resources offered through organizations such as     Safe Routes to School.  These include walkability checklists to score your community, for example, and national events such as Bike to School Day each spring and Walk to School Day in fall.

    CITY G.G.Parks, Recreation & Facilities Master Plan Download

    With the Master Plan addressing a 15-year recommended action plan for the City’s Parks and Facilities, as well as the Recreational Programs offerings, this Report has summarized several findings, as well as community input, which is exceptionally different from what was initially voiced by City staff and the City policymakers. These findings make the undertaking of the Parks, Recreation & Facilities Master Plan process a very valid process, as the recommended actions in this Report are decidedly different from current goals and policies voiced by City leadership and as described in the City’s General Plan, Chapter 9: Parks, Recreation & Open Space Element.   

     

    At the initial start of the Master Plan process, the City’s policymakers indicated they foresaw the need to add more park acreage for recreational facilities and for open space uses, to include more pool facilities, more playgrounds, more baseball fields with sportsfield lighting, and some saw the need to add a soccer complex.  Community Services staff felt that an expansion of park facilities is needed, and should include a skate park, more soccer fields, picnic rental facilities, another dog park, and a water spray/splash pad facility.  In contrast, the community clearly stated throughout the input process that the City needs to update and maintain the parks the City already has rather than concentrating on expanding the City’s parks system.

    Improve and expand local parks Parks $255 million Dollars

    In this report, we assess several of the Governor’s budget proposals in the natural resources and environmental protection areas . Based on our review, we recommend various changes, as well as areas that would benefit from additional legislative oversight . In this summary, we describe our major findings and recommendations . We provide a complete listing of our recommendations at the end of this report . PROPOSITION 68 IMPLEMENTATION

    The Governor proposes appropriating $514 million from Proposition 68, primarily for local parks and flood protection projects. We recommend the Legislature approve the proposals, as we find them to be reasonable and consistent with bond language and the multiyear allocation plan the administration previously presented to the Legislature.  Grants to Improve and Expand Local Parks ($255 Million). State Parks would allocate the majority of these funds ($203 million) through competitive grants to create and expand safe neighborhood parks in park-poor neighborhoods . Funds would also be dedicated to creating or improving regional parks ($28 million) and enhancing recreation and tourism in rural communities ($23 million) .Trails, greenways, and river parkways CNRA 40 37.5 0.1 Improve and expand local parks Parks $1,035 $517.7 $255.0

    WAR DOG MEMORIAL

    Ladies and Gentlemen

    My name is Jeff Gallagher and I am the Commander of Albert E. Schwab, The American Legion Post 555,

    located in Midway City.The purpose of this letter is to express support for the establishment of a dog park

    and war dog memorial along the former Pacific Electric right of way through the city of Garden Grove.

    On January January 13, 2020, Mr. Craig Durfey spoke at our regular membership meeting concerning his

    effort to have a full service dog park and war dog memorial in the vicinity of a bike/walking trail that is

    currently under construction in Garden Grove. After his presentation, a vote was taken of the membership

    to fully support Mr. Durfey's efforts and the project.

    Military K-9's, often called “war dogs”, have a long history with our military services of all branches. They

    were in the trenches of World War I, the mine fields of World War II, and on the front lines in Korea. Over

    4,000 military dogs were used in Vietnam on search-and-destroy missions, for sentry duty and for mine and

    explosive detection. It is estimated that each dog saved more than 150 lives.

    Most did not return home.

    These dogs deserve to be remembered for their courage before enemy fire, their versatility in the field and

    their sheer tenacity. Today, every branch of service uses military working dogs for a variety of tasks. They

    are more valuable than ever as bomb and IED detectors. Surely, the war on terror would not be as effective

    without them.

    To my knowledge, there are only two war dog memorials in Southern California and none in Orange

    County.

    For these reasons, the entire membership of Albert E. Schwab The American Legion Post 555, endorses

    and supports the efforts to establish a dog park and war memorial in the City of Garden Grove, California.

    For God and Country,

    Jeff “Hollywood” Gallagher

    Bicycle Technology Programs Gain Speed in High Schools Students learn about bike maintenance and repair, careers, science and more in these programs. Students in a bike tech class at Westbrook High School in Maine work on a bike

     

    AT SOME high schools, teens are learning the ins and outs of one very affordable mode of transportation: bicycles.

    The programs, in which teens learn how to fix and maintain bikes, as well as explore career opportunities in the cycling industry, have popped up at schools nationwide.

    "I like fixing bikes. I'm really interested in how to fix it," says Nicholas Henderson, 17, an 11th-grader at Digital Harbor High School in Baltimore. Henderson is a longtime member of the school's after-school bike club. 

    He's learned how to put wheels back on a bike and can fix a bike's brakes as well, he says, along with other skills.

    "A lot of students that maybe don't always shine in the classroom, really shine in the garage," says Melissa McDonald, a teacher at the school and a sponsor of the voluntary activity that got started four years ago. It got off the ground due to teachers and students gathering support from the community –  they wrote grants and letters, visited bike shops and more. 

    After spending about an hour each Wednesday on bike mechanics, the club goes on a bike ride for about 45 minutes, she says.

    And students can take a bike home if they dedicate enough hours to working in the garage. 

    It's a positive activity for students in a city that doesn't have a lot of after-school programs, she says.

    But bike tech programs aren't limited to after-school activities. Some districts are sponsoring high school bike tech classes for credit.

    Emerson High School in Oklahoma City, for example, recently launched a bicycle repair class, the Oklahoma Gazette reported earlier this year.

    "We are using a bicycle and the conversation through working on a bicycle to mentor these kids," Steven Charles, executive director of the organization overseeing the program, told the publication.

    What it takes to be carbon neutral — for a family, a city, a country

    Copenhagen officials estimate that 75 percent of all trips must be done by bike, foot or public transportation to meet their 2025 goal COPENHAGEN — Louise Purup Nohr’s morning routine is like something out of a sustainable future.

    When she hustles her kids into the bathroom, what flushes down the toilet will later turn into the natural gas that warms breakfast on the stove. The eggs come from the chickens in the backyard. The coffee machine’s gurgling is powered by electricity generated from the wind. The water that washes the dishes is heated by sustainable sawdust pellets. The recycling gets shunted in eight directions, so that little ends up in the dump. And the commute — first to school, then to work — is on a cargo bike that bumps across Copenhagen’s extensive bike-lane network.

    Amid mounting global concern about climate change, Denmark has turned into a buzzing hive of green experimentation, with efforts underway inside homes, across cities and on a national scale.

    Households such as Purup Nohr’s are seeking to limit their carbon footprints by cutting back on consumption.

    Bicycles Can Be a "Huge Part" of Combating Climate Change

    Lewis Fulton, who spoke at the Climate Change Summit in Paris, reminds us how bikes can fight global warming

    The Climate Change Summit recently wrapped in Paris, with most of the world’s major economies agreeing to a historic accord formalizing 195 countries’ commitments to cutting emissions and assisting each other in fighting global warming—the first-ever attempt to synchronize efforts worldwide. The US committed to reducing its carbon emissions by nearly 30 percent over the coming decade—an ambitious, but many believe achievable, goal. During the talks, Lewis Fulton, a transportation researcher at University of California, Davis, and the Director of STEPS (Sustainable Transportation Energy Pathways), gave speeches and met with representatives from several countries and the United Nations. His message: Bikes can help save the world.

    “We need to hold our politicians accountable,” says Fulton, who believes we might be able to limit climate change to a manageable 2-degree rise in Earth’s temperature. “But we also need to make changes [in our personal lives]. Cycling plays a huge part in that.”

    The bulk of officials in Paris represented national governments, but in order to effectively combat climate change, both cities and individuals will have to get more involved in the fight. Getting more people on bikes instead of cars will have one of the biggest impacts, Fulton said. In the U.S. and Canada, cycling represents only about 1 percent of daily urban travel, according to Fulton’s most recent study published this past November. By increasing that number to 20 to 30 percent, researchers believe carbon emissions from urban passenger transport could be reduced nearly 11 percent by 2050 and save more than $24 trillion in various costs

    Governor Newsom releases new Executive Order on Climate Change

     Date: September 25, 2019   

    Last week, in conjunction with Climate Week and student strikes on climate change across the globe, Governor Newsom issued a wide-ranging Executive Order, N-19-19, directing several state agencies to take actions to facilitate and accelerate greenhouse gas emissions reductions. The Executive Order seeks to scale up California's actions to address climate change in light of its goal to reduce emissions 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030, particularly in the context of federal inaction on climate change.

    Among other provisions, the Executive Order directs the State Transportation Agency to leverage its more than $5 billion in annual transportation spending on road construction, operation, and maintenance to reduce transportation GHG emissions and fuel consumption, including facilitating the creation of housing near jobs and increasing mobility options available to Californians. This Executive Order underscores the need for state transit agencies to re-direct certain funds from business-as-usual activities to forward-looking projects that build resiliency in our transportation infrastructure and facilitate the reduction of vehicle miles traveled (VMT).

    Activist Presses for Bike Safety &HealthOrange County’s bicycle activists are on a mission to improve the county’s biking awareness and infrastructure and hopefully prevent more cyclists, including children, from being struck and killed by cars. And their efforts are increasingly grabbing the attention of government leaders. At last week’s Orange County Transportation Authority board meeting, Garden Grove resident Craig Durfey urged officials to develop an educational campaign on bike safety, including about a new three-foot buffer requirement that motorists will have to keep from cyclists starting next September.

    He also asked that OCTA support legislation to boost education of traffic engineers on modern bicycle and pedestrian safety standards as well as legislation to require that new bicycles be sold with flashing LED lights on the front and back.

    “I’m here because I lost a youth on my corner two years ago,” said Durfey. “I can’t allow myself to see [another] neighbor pass away because of lack of attention to the issue.”

    OCTA Chairman Greg Winterbottom scheduled a discussion for the next Bicycle-Pedestrian Subcommittee meeting.

    That meeting is planned for Dec. 17.

    As far as educational campaigns, Durfey pointed to several existing models, including “Every Lane is a Bike Lane”, Let’s Go NC!, BeStreetSmart.net and the Florida Traffic and Bicycle Safety Education Program.

    OC Cities Leaving State Money on the Table for Bike Safety

    Despite an ongoing awareness effort, many Orange County cities are still not taking full advantage of state money to improve their infrastructure to make things safer for bicyclists and pedestrians.

    In a recent competition for $184 million in state grants for active transportation projects, 11 Orange County cities — including some with relatively large populations like Buena Park and Mission Viejo — didn’t submit proposals, according to state records. 

    And of the cities that did apply, some were more ambitious than others.

    Santa Ana, for example, submitted 11 projects worth up to $6.7 million, and received $3.3 million in funding. But Garden Grove – which has about half the population as Santa Ana – requested just two projects worth $350,000 and ended up getting no funding.

    OC Cities to Compete for Millions in New Bike Infrastructure Funding

    As local transportation officials ramp up bike safety efforts amidst a rising toll of biking deaths, they’re encouraging cities to apply for millions of dollars in new state grants to fuel construction of more bike and pedestrian projects.

    About $180 million in Active Transportation Program or ATP funding is available statewide through a grant process, with another $13 million set aside for Orange County.

    Applications are due in about a month on May 21.

    At the same time, Orange County Transportation Authority officials are trying to get the message out that biking isn’t just for recreation.

    “We’re trying to change the mindset,” Director Todd Spitzer said at a Monday meeting of the Regional Planning and Highways Committee.

    Reacting to a new OCTA video ad that focuses its visuals on recreational biking, Spitzer asked that the agency start incorporating more images of people biking to work.

    Bike To Death Countywide

    Bicycle to work.

    It sounds like a great idea, especially in sunny Southern California.

    In recent years, politicians across Los Angeles and Orange counties have increasingly called on residents to try the alternative as local transportation agencies scramble to meet increasingly stricter emissions standards amidst dwindling resources for streets and freeways.

    Public agencies have invested in elaborate public relations events to encourage more cycling. May is National Bike Month, and the message at events like Los Angeles’ CicLAvia and the Orange county Transportation Authority’s Bike to Work Day is clear: Get out on your bike.

    As the Great Recession tightened its grip, bus fares rose and bus routes contracted. In recent years, many met the challenge by turning to bicycles as a cost-effective means to get to work.

    Yet according to accident data reviewed by Voice of OC, the transportation agency’s marketing logo could easily read “Bike to Death.”

    After Deaths, Transportation Officials Increase Bike Safety EffortsAfter Deaths, Transportation Officials Increase Bike Safety Efforts

    After a string of high-profile deaths, government officials from across Orange County are ramping up their efforts to make it safer and easier for people to ride bikes.

    And they’re working with bicycle advocates to come up with solutions.

    At a workshop Monday night, Orange County Transportation Authority officials gathered with dozens of activists to hear their ideas amid thousands of injuries to local cyclists and numerous deaths in recent years.

    “We have a serious problem here, and I have no idea what the answers are,” said OCTA Director Todd Spitzer, who is also a county supervisor. “I’m here to hear from you, because we need your ideas.”

    The issue has affected elected leaders directly.

    “I’ve been hit many, many times myself” while cycling, said OCTA Vice Chairman Jeff Lalloway.

    “It’s never fun when a friend dies or someone we know [dies]. It’s very dangerous out there.”

    Spitzer agreed, noting that his bike rides on a major street are often formidable.

    “I was a cop for 10 years, and I’m more nervous riding on Santiago Canyon Road on a road bike than I am making entry into a house where I don’t know what’s on the inside” said Spitzer, who came up with the idea of a workshop on the issue.

    Advocate Touts Santa Ana’s Potential as Bike-Friendly City Healthy Communities As one of the densest cities in America, Santa Ana has a lot of opportunities to make it easier for people to walk and cycle, a leading national bicycle and pedestrian advocate told local residents and officials Monday. “When we build our infrastructure so that children and seniors are able to travel safely, we all benefit,” said Jeff Miller, the president and CEO of the nationwide Alliance for Biking & Walking during a presentation at the Garfield Community Center.


    “None of us should be not able to get where we want to go,” he said.

    The event brought together Santa Ana officials from the library, public works and planning departments and representatives of Orange County Bicycle Coalition, Latino Health Access and Santiago Creek Greenway Alliance, among others.

    Miller encouraged local advocates to focus on putting policies and funding in place to create a long-term plan for making Santa Ana more bicycle and pedestrian friendly.

    He also encouraged people to look first at making bike routes between public schools and neighborhoods safe for children, then work on downtown areas and other employment centers.

    Whiting: 3-foot cushion is minimum comfort to cyclists If you care about human life, you probably shook your head in wonderment the last two years when Gov. Jerry Brown refused to sign into law bills to require drivers to give cyclists three feet of space. Only three feet. Less than the width of most car doors. After some 20 states passed such laws, Brown last week finally signed a revised version of the bill. "Craig Durfey lives in Garden Grove and doesn’t ride a bike. Still, he was inspired to take up cycling safety when a boy was hit by a car in Durfey’s neighborhood. Now retired, Durfey spends his time working with local officials to improve traffic patterns and beef up safety for children riding to school."

    But you might not want to mention how much a cyclist’s life is worth.  

    For drivers who violate the three-feet law, the penalty is a $35 fine. If a driver injures a cyclist, the fine is $220.  

    That’s right, $220 – less than driving solo in the carpool lane.  

    Motorcyclists’ slogan is: “Kill a biker, go to jail.” Sadly, California takes an, um, blasé approach when it comes to cyclists.  

    Sure, the new bill carries the usual extra charges which bring the basic fine to $154. And – OMG! – if a driver actually maims a cyclist, they driver pays a whopping $959.

More and more people are choosing to ride as part of their daily commute as well as for recreation. And all of us share the road; it’s the law. Bike safety is everyone’s responsibility. That includes bike riders of all ages, motorists, pedestrians, and OCTA. Together, we can team up for cycling safety and enjoy moving throughout Orange County and beyond. Become a safe and more confident bicyclist with bicycle safety courses led by the OCTA. To sign up for classes that will be offered in 2020 please contact Stephanie Chhan, Transportation Analyst, at schhan@octa.net or (714) 560-5572.

     

    Understanding how to share the road

    All traffic crashes are preventable. To encourage bike safety, OCTA is making information available that will assist both bike riders and motorists. You’ll find the latest on California rules and regulations plus safety tips and best practices on how to wear a helmet properly and use hand signals. To assist as many people as possible, there are special sections for children, adults, parents and guardians, motorists, and pedestrians. Information is also available in other languages.

    Working to make OC more bike-friendly

    OCTA is working with a variety of groups to make Orange County more bike-friendly while keeping public transportation safe and convenient for all. By taking the lead on regional planning, OCTA is building awareness of the need for consistent bike policies throughout Orange County’s 34 cities and five districts. Nearly 700 additional miles of bike lanes are planned throughout the county.

    Programs that encourage residents to get out ride and a pilot bikesharing program are helping integrate bike riding into the normal fabric of everyday transportation in Orange County. Sharing the road safely is OCTA’s goal for all who travel in Orange County.
