Page 12 <br /> <br /> <br />Pedestrian & Bicycle Trends <br />Collisions involving pedestrians and bicyclists are examined separately from vehicle collisions as these <br />are the most vulnerable users of the transportation network. Due to the low number of pedestrians and <br />bicycle collisions, the collision analysis spans a three-year period 7. Pedestrian collisions decreased by <br />seven and bicycle collisions increased by four this period. There were 28 collisions involving <br />pedestrians and 106 bicycle collisions over the three-year period (there were 35 pedestrian and 102 <br />bicycle collisions in the previous three-year period8). <br />Twenty-two of the 106 bicycle collisions were “solo” <br />bicycle collisions (a bicyclist crashing without another <br />party involved)9. <br />Citywide traffic counts were conducted at 153 <br />intersections in both 2024 and 2025. Vehicle, bicycle, <br />and pedestrian volumes were recorded during the <br />morning and evening peak travel times. This data was <br />used to calculate changes in bicycle use (22% <br />increase in the morning and 4% increase in the <br />evening) and changes in pedestrian activity (14% <br />decrease in the morning and 22% decrease in the <br />evening). Bicycle volumes are the highest since we <br />started tracking them in 2017. Conversely, pedestrian <br />volumes have lost the gains from last year and are the <br />lowest since we started tracking them. The largest <br />losses are around the west Bart station, Foothill Road, <br />and the Iron Horse Trail crossing on West Las Positas <br />Boulevard. <br />The percentage of bicyclists and pedestrians <br />compared to overall traffic volume was calculated and <br />the bicycle percentages increased and pedestrian <br />percentage decreased from 2024 to 202510. <br />The 2025 data shows bicycle volumes are trending <br />higher than pre-pandemic levels. It should be noted <br />that some of the increase in percent mode can still be <br />attributed to lower vehicle volumes than pre- <br />pandemic. Peak hour morning vehicle volumes in <br />2025 were 88% of pre-pandemic values and evening <br />were 85%. <br /> <br />7 The current three-year period is 12/1/2022 to 11/30/2025 <br />8 The previous three-year period is 12/1/2021 to 11/30/2024 <br />9 “Solo” bicycles collisions occur when bicyclists fall off the bicycle for various reasons (medical, inattention, hitting an object, roadway conditions, etc.) <br />10 Total bicyclists and total pedestrians were divided by total of vehicles for 153 intersections to calculate bicycle and pedestrian usage percentages <br />+14% <br />+28% <br />+14% <br />+17% <br />0 <br />500 <br />1000 <br />1500 <br />2000 <br />2500 <br />3000 <br />3500 <br />4000 <br />4500 <br />2017 2019 2022 2023 2024 <br />Bicycle and Pedestrian Volumes <br />Bicycle AM Bicycle PM <br />Pedestrian AM Pedestrian PM <br />22% <br />4% <br />-14% <br />-22% <br />0 <br />500 <br />1000 <br />1500 <br />2000 <br />2500 <br />3000 <br />3500 <br />4000 <br />4500 <br />2017 2019 2022 2023 2024 2025 <br />Bicycle and Pedestrian Volumes <br />Bicycle AM Bicycle PM <br />Pedestrian AM Pedestrian PM <br />0.76% <br />0.43% <br />0.00% <br />0.50% <br />1.00% <br />AM PM <br />Bicycle Percentage <br />2017 2019 2022 2023 2024 2025 <br />1.20% <br />0.82% <br />0.00% <br />0.50% <br />1.00% <br />1.50% <br />AM PM <br />Pedestrian Percentage <br />2017 2019 2022 2023 2024 2025
