ADOT Safe Transportation for Every Pedestrian (STEP) Guide

The Arizona Active Transportation Safety Action Plan (ATSAP) is a statewide initiative to improve safety for active transportation users in the state of Arizona. Active transportation is defined as any non-motorized mode of transportation, typically people walking and people riding bicycles. The ATSAP applies to the State Highway System (SHS) owned or operated by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT).  The ATSAP was simultaneously developed with ADOT’s 2024 Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP), resulting in significant coordination between the two efforts, including combined public and stakeholder engagement efforts. The ATSAP and SHSP will work together to improve roadway safety throughout Arizona. The ATSAP establishes goals and recommendations to increase safety for people walking or riding bicycles throughout the SHS.

Through crash data analysis and stakeholder and public involvement engagement,the ATSAP offers policy recommendations as well as a list of 26 priority locations (PL) with planning-level cost estimates and recommended countermeasures for each PL.

The Bicycle and Pedestrian Count Strategy Plan is the first step for ADOT to implement a bicycle and pedestrian count program. The program is designed to support safety assessments, performance measurement, and reporting such as key bicycle and pedestrian indicators and targets established in the Statewide Bicycle Pedestrian Plan Update.

2018 Bicyclist Safety Action Plan Update uses a data-driven approach to assess bicyclist-motorist crashes on the State Highway System (SHS) during the 2012-2016 period. The plan identifies steps, actions, and potential countermeasures that, upon implementation and over time, will measurably reduce bicyclist crashes, injuries, and fatalities.

The Complete Transportation Guidebook is a reference for integrating sustainable transportation practices into transportation planning, scoping, and design throughout ADOT’s project development process. The guidebook provides strategies and techniques for identifying transportation choices that connect communities and enhance economic opportunity while maximizing the efficiency of limited resources.
