PROJECT DESCRIPTION Page 1
BACKGROUND
A. General Characteristics - The State of California has an estimated population of 29 million
and 20 million bicycles, with thousands more a day being purchased.
B. Streets and Highways - Roads in the roadway system of California that legally accomodate
bicycling includes 998 miles of freeways, 1,612 miles of expressways, 9,482 miles of state
highways, 66,504 miles of county roadways, 64,898 miles of city roadways, and 3,244 miles
of other state owned roads. There are 18,524 miles of federally controlled roads, but that
figure includes the state run interstate freeways. The approximate total roadway mileage
allowable for bicyclists is 165,000 miles. (CALTRANS)
C. Operating Departments - The lead agency for this project is the Contra Costa County
Health Services Prevention Program, which resides under the Public Health Division. All
public health traffic safety injury prevention efforts are located in the Unintentional Injury
Program section of the Prevention Program. The Prevention Program has 30 total personnel.
D. Existing Systems - Organizations throughout California working to decrease the incidence of
bicycle injuries include: the State Department of Health Services Maternal and Child Health
Branch having collaborated with the State PTA to promote a school-based bicycle helmet
campaign; the California Coalition for Children's Health and Safety successfully spear-
heading the passage of a bicycle helmet use law; groups like the California State Automobile
Association, the Automobile Club of Southern California, the California Highway Patrol, and
many local police departments which distribute bicycle safety information describing safe
bicycling techniques as well as providing direct education and riding skills; in some
locations, coalitions consisting of engineers, law enforcement officers, planners, and health
and safety professionals convened to address the issue.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
While bicycling is often seen in the public eye as a form of care-free recreation, the injuries
associated with it can be quite severe and costly. California's bicycle injury problem must be
understood in two ways: first, through an analysis of the injury threat to the millions of bicyclists
in the state and, second, as a systemic problem requiring enhanced coordination among state and
local organizations interested in bicycle safety. Both of these aspects of the problem are described
below.
OTS-38b (Rev 9/91)
SCHEDULE A
PROJECT NO.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION Page 2
California bears a disproportionate share of bicycle-related injuries in the U.S. While injuries occur
to bicyclists of all ages, children ages 6 to 19 have the highest rate of bicycle-related head injuries
that require hospitalization. Data sources such as the California Highway Patrol's State-wide
Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), the U.S. Census Bureau, and the Office of Statewide
Health Planning and Development reveal that the State of California:
♦ Is home to an estimated 29 million people and 20 million bicycles. Both the state
population and the number of bicyclists is rapidly increasing;'
♦ Has 11 percent of the nation's population but 14 percent of bicyclist fatalities;2
♦ Had 82,152 people injured and 678 people killed in bicycle related crashes between
1985-1989.3
♦ Has a significant number of child bicyclists who are at risk for injury. Children
under the age of 16 comprise 23 percent of the population. In 1991, 34 percent of
California's bicycle collision victims were under 15 years of age.' In the same year,
children age 6-12 had the highest rate of bicycle-related head injury requiring
hospitalization at 15.3 per 100,000 (children five and younger had a rate of 3.1,
children 13-19 had a rate of 9.8, and those over age 20 hada rate of 2.7 per
100,000).5
Bicycle injuries that require hospitalization represent the more serious type of non-fatal crashes. In
1991, the number of bicyclists hospitalized for any injury totaled 5,075. Of the total
hospitalizations, one-third were from incidents involving a motor vehicle. While not a majority of
incidents, these motor-vehicle related crashes were more severe and costly (a mean of 2.5 medical
conditions and $22,632 in hospital costs) and required longer hospital stays (a mean of 6.2 days)
than non-motor-vehicle incidents.'
Bicycle-related head injuries exact a tremendous personal, social, and financial cost. Head trauma
(usually intracranial hemorrhage) is the most frequent cause of death in fatal bicycle accidents,
occurring in approximately 75 percent of cases.' Survivors of head injuries only have a 33 percent
chance of returning to a lifestyle without any permanent disabilities'. In California, bicycle-related
head injuries occurring in 1991 generated $19.7 million in hospital costs. Government sources paid
43 percent of these costs.'
While bicycle-related head injuries are costly and serious, the efficacy of bicycle helmets to prevent
them is well established. When used properly, bicycle helmets reduce the risk of head injury by
85% and brain injury by 88%.10 The cost of an approved bicycle helmet can be as low as $15 to

$20, compared to $4.5 million required to provide medical, rehabilitative, and long-term care for a
seriously head-injured bicyclist over the course of her/his lifetime."
ATTEMPTS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM
Many organizations throughout California have worked diligently to decrease the incidence of
bicycle injuries. For example, over the past two years, the State Department of Health Services
Maternal and Child Health Branch has collaborated with the State PTA to promote a school-based
bicycle helmet campaign. The California Coalition for Children's Health and Safety successfully
spear-headed the passage of a bicycle helmet law that now requires children under age 18 to wear
helmets. Groups like the California State Automobile Association, the Automobile Club of Southern
California, the California Highway Patrol, and many local police departments distribute bicycle
safety information describing safe bicycling techniques as well as providing direct education and
riding skills. And, in some locations, coalitions consisting of engineers, law enforcement officers,
planners, and health and safety professionals have convened to address the issue.
Unfortunately, without one unifying force at the state level, these efforts have been fragmented. For
example, many city planners, law enforcement officers, engineers, and traffic commissioners are not
aware of the extent of the problem and do not recognize their potential role in the solution.
Although many health professionals may recognize the problem, they generally do not see
themselves as providing the leadership needed to link groups who are outside the traditional health
care delivery system. Additionally, bicycle-related committees throughout the state are working
independently and lack a mechanism for systematic planning and coordination.
