1 Protected Bicycle Lanes in NYC New York City Department of Transportation Polly Trottenberg, Commissioner September 2014 NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 1
2 Overview Since 2007, the New York City Department of Transportation has installed over 30 miles of protected bicycle lanes throughout the city, including several parking protected bicycle lanes on various avenues in Manhattan. The following report contains an analysis of how some of these Manhattan routes have impacted safety, mobility, and economic vitality. Routes were chosen for inclusion if they had at least three years of after safety data available. Safety Crashes with injuries have been reduced by 17% Pedestrian injuries are down by 22% Cyclist injuries show a minor decrease even as bicycle volumes have dramatically increased Total injuries have dropped by 20% 74% decrease in average risk of a serious injury to cyclists from 2001 to 2013 Cyclist injury risk has generally decreased on protected bicycle lane corridors within this study as cyclist volumes rise and cyclist injures decrease Mobility Travel speeds in the Central Business District have remained steady as protected bicycle lanes are added to the roadway network Travel times on Columbus Avenue have improved while vehicle volumes are maintained First Avenue travel speeds remained level through project area Travel times on 8 th Avenue improved by an average of 14% Economic Vitality & Quality of Life When compared to similar corridors streets that received a protected bicycle lane saw a greater increase in retail sales 110 trees have been added to projects within this study area, enhancing the neighborhood through which they run Crossing distances along corridors have been shortened anywhere between 17 and 30 NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 2

5 Overview 7 miles of typical one-way avenue protected bicycle lanes now over 3 years old 12 projects on six avenues Install Year Corridor (Segments) th Avenue (16th-23rd) th Avenue (23rd-31st) th Avenue (Bank-14th) th Avenue (14th-23rd) 2009 Broadway (59-47) 2009 Broadway (33-26) st Avenue (H-34) nd Avenue (2-14) nd Avenue (23-32) th Avenue (23-34) 2010 Broadway (23-18) 2010/11 Columbus Avenue (96-77) The following corridor analysis includes all portions of each corridor that received the protected bicycle lane treatment. Any portion of the corridor that did not receive the treatment was left out even if it received other upgrades at the same time. Analysis includes segments that have three years of after data.

Safety 3yr Data Number of Injuries th Avenue -17% Crashes with Injuries Protected Bicycle Lanes with 3 yrs of Data: vs -25% MV Occupant Injuries -22% Pedestrian Injuries -2% Cyclist Injuries -20% Total Injuries Looking at all corridors combined with at least three years of after data, we find that: Crashes with injuries have been reduced by 17% Pedestrian injuries are down by 22% Cyclist injuries show a minor improvement even as bicycle volumes have dramatically increased Total injuries have dropped by 20% Protected bicycle lane projects with 3 years of after data include the following: 9 th Ave (16 th -31 st ), 8 th Ave (Bank-23 rd, 23 rd -34 th ), Broadway (59 th -47 th, 33 rd -26 th, 23 rd -18 th ), 1 st Avenue (Houston to 34 th ), 2 nd Ave (Houston-34 th ), Columbus Ave (96 th -77 th ) Note: Only sections of projects that included protected bicycle lanes were analyzed Source: NYPD AIS/TAMS Crash Database NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 7
8 1. Safety NYC Cycling Risk 74% decrease in average risk of a serious injury to cyclists from 2001 to 2013 The New York City Cycling Risk Indicator is calculated as the number of bicyclists killed or severely injured in motor vehicle traffic crashes, divided by the NYC In-Season Cycling Indicator, multiplied by 100. New York City Cycling Risk as of 8/14/2014* In-Season Cycling Indicator Cycling Risk Indicator Sources: NYC In-Season Cycling Indicator. The Indicator is based on weekday 12-hour counts taken between April and October at 6 key cycling locations, indexed to the year 2000 count: Bicyclist fatalities: NYCDOT-NYPD Reconciled Traffic Fatality Database Bicyclist severe injuries: NYSDOT SIMS/ALIS Crash Database (as of 8/14/14) Type A injuries reported in crashes involving bicycles. NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 8 * Preliminary Results - final numbers are subject to change
9 1. Safety Individual Project Risk Cyclist injury risk has generally decreased on protected bicycle lane corridors within this study as cyclist volume rises and cyclist injuries decrease Project Corridor Miles Cyclist Risk Change 9th Avenue (16th-23rd) % Broadway (59th-47th) % 1st Avenue (1st-34th) % 2nd Avenue (2nd-14th) % 2nd Avenue (23rd-34th) % 8th Avenue (23rd-34th) % Broadway (23rd-18th) % Columbus Avenue (96th-77th) % For volume and safety details for each of the above corridors see appendix The cyclist risk measure was calculated as a relative rate of injury per cyclist during the 3-year before period and the 3-year after period. To generate the cyclist risk measure, the number of injuries recorded in the project area over the entire investigation period was normalized by the number of cyclists measured on the facility over a 12-hour period representative of April-October cycling conditions. The percent change of the cyclist risk measure between the before period and the after period provides the effect of the individual NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 9 project on the cyclist risk of injury. See individual project slides in appendix for data sources. 9
