Mapping Omaha Bikes

I’ve been getting a bit involved with bicycle advocacy in Omaha, especially now that I’m starting to commute to work by bike. As part of this, I wondered about the safey of bicyclists and pedestrians in the city. So, I threw together a small R Shiny application for exploring pedestrian and bicycling accidents in Omaha.

It’s a fairly simple application, using some data provided by the Nebraska Department of Roads. You can find all of the code and data on Github.

If you’re interested in getting involved, hook up with some local and national organizations:

• Nebraska Bicycling Alliance
• Mode Shift Omaha
• League of American Bicyclists
