Refining C3 Context-classification Criteria for Low-income and Minority Populations

This study seeks to refine the guidance for C3 corridors to account for the unique vulnerabilities of lower-income and minority populations. The three primary objectives include 1. The identification of contextual factors that may place lower-income pedestrians and bicyclists at increased risk along C3 corridors. 2. Estimation of the relative effects that specific features of C3 corridors have on crash incidence, thereby allowing for the prioritization of safety-related countermeasures. 3. The identification of threshold values that may serve to trigger a reconsideration of design treatments along C3 corridors.
