In addition to the safety emphasis found in the PLTS analysis, additional resources on pedestrian facility safety are provided in

Appendix O, Section 2 – Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Resources

, which contains information about countermeasure selection tools and crash analysis tools. The document also lists external reports that focus on pedestrian safety at various facilities. TxDOT has created the Pedestrian Safety Action Plan (PSAP) to address the rising number of pedestrian related crashes. A link to the PSAP is provided in
