Vision Zero - Vulnerable Road User Plan (VRU)

The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, is seeking proposals for professional services to develop a comprehensive vulnerable road user safety plan. The plan should serve as a supplement to the existing action plan and inform necessary strategies for the next safety action plan, a pedestrian priority network, and a new 5-year Safe Routes to School travel plan. The project will focus on vulnerable road users defined by their mode of transportation, such as pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcycle riders, as well as demographic subgroups with traffic safety vulnerabilities. The planning process will require an equitable, inclusive, and data-informed approach. Key aspects of the project include: • Developing a comprehensive vulnerable road user safety plan • Supplementing the existing action plan • Informing strategies for the next safety action plan • Creating a pedestrian priority network • Developing a new 5-year Safe Routes to School travel plan • Focusing on vulnerable road users and demographic subgroups with traffic safety vulnerabilities • Using an equitable, inclusive, and data-informed approach
