Tri-Valley Transportation Council │ 2020 Nexus Fee Update Study <br />August 2021 │ Final 27 <br /> <br />Table 17: HSIP Crash Saving Dollar Amounts <br />Severity Crash Savings <br />(per crash) <br />Fatal $2,190,000 <br />Serious $2,190,000 <br />Moderate $142,300 <br />Minor $80,900 <br />Table 18 shows the overall annual crashes saving from traffic injuries that were potentially eliminated. Note <br />that this analysis excludes property costs and as such should be conservative. Also note that the forecast <br />only considers the effect of new traffic impacts and excludes the effect of existing conditions for the <br />purposes of establishing Nexus. <br />Table 18: Future Safety Benefits with Project Improvements <br />Safety Benefits Total Fatal Serious Moderate Minor <br />5-Years Reduction <br />in Crashes 153.0 2.5 14.1 45.3 91.0 <br />1-Year Reduction <br />in Crashes 30.6 0.5 2.8 9.1 18.2 <br />Value per Annum <br />(2019 Dollars) $10,048,590 $1,092,810 $6,192,599 $1,290,003 $1,473,178 <br />As shown in Table 19, there is a direct cost benefit to the investments made for roadway safety <br />improvements in the region. While it is difficult to estimate an absolute percentage in reduced peak hour <br />delays, the expected reductions in crashes will also enhance system reliability and resilience. <br />4.3.4 PEDESTRIAN/BICYCLE IMPROVEMENTS <br />While projects may include pedestrian and/or bicycle improvements, out of the 38 projects, project C-11 <br />Iron Horse Trail Improvements is the only project that predominantly focuses on pedestrian and bicycle <br />improvements. Project C-11 consists of various improvements to the Iron Horse Trail within the TVTC <br />boundaries including overcrossing construction, closing existing gaps, and adding safety improvements <br />through the trail system. Pedestrian and bicycle improvement were evaluated based on NCHRP 552 <br />Guidelines for Analysis of Investments in Bicycle Facilities. This approach relies on spatial analysis <br />techniques to determine the likely number of new active transportation users resulting from the introduction <br />of a new pedestrian/bicycle improvement. Table 19 shows the comparison between the Future 2040 Build <br />and Future 2040 No-Build scenarios. <br />Table 19: Future Project Induced Daily Bicycle Demand <br />Total Induced Demand 2020 Base Year Future 2040 <br />No- Build <br />Future 2040 <br />Build <br />Adult Bicyclists 1,275 1,778 3,338 <br />Child Bicyclists 731 1,038 2,077 <br />Total Facility Users 2,006 2,817 5,415
