Pedestrian Safety & Mobility Assessment Tool
Background
Pedestrian Safety Impact Statement requested by Citizens’ Advisory Committee January 2010
Intended/Potential Uses:– ETDM, PD&E, 3R, local projects, assessing
developments
Align near-term projects with future land use and transit ridership
Background
Pedestrian Safety & Mobility Assessment Tool based on Pedestrian Environmental Quality Index developed by City of San Francisco
Tested on six area roads: Edgewater Dr., Park Ave., SR 50
Downtown, SR 50 West, SR 438, US 441
Scores
All based on 0 to 100 scale• Intersection Score • Walkability Score – combination of all
features related to the walking experience• Mid-Block Crossing Score – ease or
difficulty of crossing between intersections
Scores
• Block Intersection Score – average of intersection scores for a given block
• Total Crossing Score – combination Mid-Block and Block Intersection scores
• Pedestrian Trip Potential – estimate of relative potential for pedestrian trips along and across the road

Next Steps
• “Fine-tuning”• Technical memo to describe elements and
guide users in data collection and entry• Local governments develop land use
thresholds for Pedestrian Trip Potential scores
• Develop future transit ridership projections/goals
