Ed, FYI...See response below from a colleague in CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention & Control. Chris Kochtitzky, MSP -------------------------------- Hi Chris, The NEISS data will capture this information for ED visits at a national level, but not at a sub-national level. Vital Statistics data should do the same for deaths but there are some limitations in ICD-10 coding for "road user type" (such that a large percentage are classified as "unknown road user type"). Both data sources can be queried here, and query options include a choice of injuries that occur in traffic, not in traffic, or both settings.

Who among has not noticed bicyclists running red lights, not stopping for stop lights, weaving through traffic, not using hand signals, etc?

Rochelle Dicker, cc'd above and head of the SFGHMC trauma unit, has done some thinking and analysis on this issue using hospital records. As you know, SF has had a fairly agressive bike infrastructure program with strong political support. Bicycling behavior has increased substantially over the past decade as evidenced by serial bike counts. Unfortunately, reported bike collision injury frequency almost doubled over the past 5 or 6 years despite the investments in bike facilities. Potential culprits here could be the co-location of bike facilities on arterials, newer riders, and the lack of reduction in vehicle traffic. The confluence of new infrastructure, growth in riders, growth in injuries suggest that SF may be a good place to study the safety effects of new bike infrastructure in an existing urban context. Locally, we are also very interested in redesigning our traffic injury surveillence system to integrate hospital, police, and ambulence records and add public health / environmental surveillence components. There are some good models in other countries. We have political committment and data sharing agreements but lack $$ -- I am told that local transportation $$ coming to cities cannot be used for such purposes. rb Rajiv Bhatia, MD, MPH Director, Environmental Health, Department of Public Health 1390 Market Street, Suite 822 San Francisco, CA 94102 (e) rajiv.bhatia(a)sfdph.org (t) 415 2523931 (w) www.sfenvironmentalhealth.org; www.sfphes.org From: Ed Christopher <edc(a)berwyned.com> To: TRB Health and Transportation <h+t--friends(a)chrispy.net> Date: 01/17/2013 02:11 PM Subject: [H+T--Friends] A Data Question Sent by: h+t--friends-bounces(a)chrispy.net It was nice to see everyone at TRB. While there I was in a discussion about the probably that bike crashes that result in injuries might be under represented in our crash data. Especially when you consider that a high percentage of the crashes do not involve a motor vehicle and never make it to police records. If i were trying to get a handle on this at a regional or state level are there any "non-traditional" sources of data like hospital records that can be used. Anyone doing any work in this area? This is becoming ever so important as we see more and mode shifting going on. _______________________________________________ H+T--Friends mailing list H+T--Friends(a)ryoko.chrispy.net http://ryoko.chrispy.net/mailman/listinfo/h+t--friends _______________________________________________ H+T--Friends mailing list H+T--Friends(a)ryoko.chrispy.net http://ryoko.chrispy.net/mailman/listinfo/h+t--friends

Re: [H+T--Friends] A Data Question

by Henderson, David (MPO)

The Florida DOH Injury Surveillance Data System has county-level data on fatal and non-fatal injuries in a variety of categories including Motor Vehicle-Pedalcyclist (MV-P) and Pedalcyclist-Other (P-O). Statewide in 2010 there were 4,117 MV-P and 18,540 P-O non-fatal injuries. In other words, there were 4.5 times more pedalcyclists injured from hitting fixed objects, falling, and bike-bike collisions than from crashing with a motor vehicle. The data also includes 24 pedalcyclist fatalities not involving a motor vehicle. The policy implications include more cyclist training, encouraging riding more often and awareness of the need for properly functioning equipment, in addition to building safe streets and other places to ride. You can see the data under " Florida Injury Data: State and County" at http://www.doh.state.fl.us/demo/InjuryPrevention/InjuryData.html.

The MPO's Active Transportation Funding Policy includes two key elements: (1) dedicated funding for both active transportation infrastructure and education about active transportation and (2) the application of scoring criteria - which drives project funding - that incorporates active transportation indicators. This initiative has the potential to improve the health of community members by facilitating active transportation and creating safer environments for biking and walking. The Nashville Area MPO's Active Transportation Funding Policy and the scoring criteria were adopted in December 2010. Since then, the MPO has continued to expand its work in active transportation. This hour-long webinar will provide: * an overview of the Center TRT intervention review, including core elements, evidence-base, and potential public health impact * a presentation by Leslie Meehan of the Nashville MPO on the implementation of the Active Transportation Funding Policy, including lessons learned and resources needed to support implementation * a Q & A session To register for this webinar, please click here.<http://www.centertrt.org/?p=training_webinars_nashville_mpo> Note: The live webinar is limited to 250 participants, but the presentation will be archived and posted to the Center TRT website for access following the live presentation.
