• Abstract:
  Many communities want to promote walking and cycling. However, few know how much nonmotorized travel already occurs in their communities. This research project developed the Pedestrian and Bicycling Survey (PABS), a method that local governments can use to assess levels of local walking and cycling behavior. PABS is a four-page mail-out/mail-back survey that allows communities to reliably answer such questions as: ; • How much walking and cycling is occurring in my community? ; • What is the purpose of walking and cycling trips? ; • Who is completing the bulk of the walking and cycling trips? ; • How often are people walking and cycling?
