Resource Library
Bike Walk RVA aims to provide a resource hub for walking and biking advocacy, infrastructure, and community engagement. This free and growing collection of resources provides the latest information on bike and pedestrian infrastructure, local advocacy efforts, and strategies to promote active transportation and safer streets throughout the Richmond region.

Regional ‘Near Miss’ Dashboard
The Near Miss Dashboard project was created to be a shareable online space for the public to submit close call events and road hazards to a database for analysis and mapping display. The National Safety Council defines a Near Miss as an unplanned event that does not result in injury or death, but could have. For this reporting tool, PlanRVA recognizes that many collisions go unreported to police.
This reporting tool aims to capture any event not formally reported. Near misses and collisions are differentiated in the reporting form. The data collected from this dashboard will enable PlanRVA to incorporate near misses and collisions that go unreported to police into project scoring models, planning decisions, and educational efforts. The information collected helps understand travel patterns, travel behavior, perceptions of safety, and focusing traffic safety enforcement actions.
