OmniTrans Bus Stop Safety Improvement Plan

Implementation

regional agencies such as SBCTA and law enforcement to share concerns. For example, prioritizing where bus stop improvement needs can be collected through the surveys and focus groups, then analyzing bicycle and pedestrian collisions around these high priority bus stops, and then implementing improvements to the stops themselves, including additional personal safety and security measures. When identifying needs, it is important to include equity considerations such as demographics and socio-economic levels as well as consider the needs of the most vulnerable populations, such as the blind and the disabled. These steps are in line with the process of this Plan and the development of the pilot projects.

5.6.1 Identify the Needs The recommendation is for Omnitrans to update the data in this plan in conjunction with data collection and analysis. The recommended time frame is every eight years. The first phase for local jurisdictions and Omnitrans is to better understand the safety needs by assessing the existing infrastructure and listening to transit users. Strategies to accomplish this is to continue with Bus Stop Amenity and Safety Survey Focus Groups, reviewing bicycle and pedestrian collisions around bus stops and coordinating between Omnitrans, local jurisdictions and Table 5-30: Implementation Chart - Identify the Needs
