According to the statistics of the Ministry of Education, traffic accident is the severest campus accident for school students during 2004-2006. In addition, bicyclists have the highest percentage of head injury resulting from traffic accidents for the ages of 10-19. It occupies 35.2%. Furthermore, junior high school students which are 13-15 years old occupy 45%. Obviously, bicycle accident has become a serious impact factor on the traffic safety for junior high school students to go to school. However, most studies of bicycle safety analysis or bicycle environmental planning in Taiwan have focused on the bicycle lanes in landscape sites or for tourism. Studies on the bicycle environmental safety of way to school are rare. Moreover, it is neither possible nor necessary to adopt the equal resources to improve campus surrounding environment for every school due to the limitation of education and traffic resources. Instead the schools with urgency and necessity should have higher priority. Therefore, it is necessary to develop the equal and objective evaluation standards. This study uses the Delphi method and the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method to design and conduct a questionnaire survey and analysis. Safety evaluation indices of the bicycle environment of way to school are further developed for junior high school students. After the analysis, results show that weights for the five dimensions in the first level including “Traffic Condition”, “Guard Person”, “Sign, Marking and Reflective Mirror”, “Road Geometric Structure”, and “Lighting and Retro-reflective Traffic Devices” are 0.257, 0.211, 0.197, 0.188, and 0.147, respectively. “Traffic Guidance by Policeman” has the highest weight of 0.168 in the 18 indices of the second level. Results for the study can be helpful for education and traffic sectors to develop a safety evaluation system of bicycle environment of way to school for junior high school students.
