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; and (3) the identification of threshold values that may serve to trigger a reconsideration of design treatments along C3 corridors.
