Abstract
Dedicated bus facilities are being installed across the country with many jurisdictions allowing cyclists to use
these facilities. Known as shared-bus bike lanes (SBBLs), these facilities are built with two, often opposing,
goals in mind: (1) provide a high-speed travel lane for buses and (2) provide a safe travel lane for cyclists.
Using video observation and survey data, the aim of this study is to analyze cyclist safety on SBBLs as a
function of geometric configuration, bus frequency, and level of service. The safety of cyclins on SBBLs will
be compared with separated bike facilities with adjacent bus routes.
