Author's abstract: This report identifies 24 critical issues related to pedestrian and bicycle facilities and programs, summarizes the state-of-the-art on each issue as it is contained in the published literature, and provides a concise commentary on each critical issue. A critical issue is an issue of significant and recurring importance to people involved in pedestrian and bicycle programs or those planning and designing pedestrian or bicycle facilities. The issues are arranged by the essential elements of a comprehensive pedestrian or bicycle program: engineering (planning, design, construction, and maintenance), education, enforcement, and evaluation. Each section addressing a critical issue synthesizes a major portion of the pedestrian and bicycle literature dealing-with that issue which was published during the past decade. The report includes a reference list of primary information sources for each critical issue and a numbered bibliography of all primary and secondary references.
