Recently, there has been an increase in public transportation ridership in the United States. The transit users tend to walk or bike to the transit stations. As such, more pedestrian and bicycle crashes have been reported near transit stations. Thus, understanding the pedestrian and bicycle crash characteristics may help to improve their safety near transit stations. This study evaluated the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists near commuter rail transit (CRT) stations in South Florida. The study used five years of pedestrian and bicycle crashes in South Florida. The negative binomial and zero-inflated model were used to identify factors that contribute to the crashes in the census block group (CBGs) near the CRT station. The results indicated that the residential density, distance to the nearest CRT stop, and frequency of transit service per square mile were significantly associated with the number of crashes near the CRT stations in the nearby CBGs.
