San Bernardino Improvement to Transit Access for Cyclists and Pedestrians

April 17, 2012 by Leave a comment

The San Bernardino Association of Governments (SANBAG) is evaluating conditions for non-motorized users, bicyclists and pedestrians, when accessing fixed guideway systems (Metrolink stations) and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) lines, also known as SBX, in San Bernardino County. This effort is part of SANBAG’s Non-Motorized Transportation Plan (NMTP), which was updated in 2011, and in part a response to California Senate Bill 375′s initiatives to reduce vehicle per miles traveled in Southern California.

SANBAG is looking for comments from the public, community advocates, residents, and cities on the Transit Access Study for Cyclists and Pedestrians (“Transit Access Study”) by Friday, April 20th at 5pm. All comments should sent electronically to Mr. Ryan Graham at rgraham (at) sanbag.ca.gov, SANBAG Transit Analyst.

Pedestrian Safety in Rancho Cucamonga

February 27, 2012 by Leave a comment

The City of Rancho Cucamonga (RC) is located 40 miles east of Los Angeles. RC is a place where the Mojave Trail, the Old Spanish Trail, the Santa Fe Trail, former U.S. Route 66, and El Camino Real converge. It is a unique community “inspiring a lifestyle that embraces a healthy mind, body, and earth through active transportation.”  RC’s complete Healthy Living program is available on their website.

On January 25, 2012 the California Department of Public Health conducted a pedestrian safety training program in Rancho Cucamonga. The training brought many stakeholders: RC police department, public health advocates, bicycle advocates, school teachers, RC city staff, planners, consultants, non-profit organizations, and residents. It also provided interactive exercises on risk communication and a brainstorm session on road safety.

RC’s local news station covered the event and posted the video on the city’s website and Vimeo channel. See Healthy RC Living episode 32, minutes 4:50 to 9:00.
