Abstract:

The Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) has been on the forefront in recognizing the potential for bicycle travel to provide mobility, reduce congestion, improve environmental quality, and promote healthy lifestyles. An important component of RIDOT's mission has been to create a balanced transportation system that embraces a multi-modal approach to transportation decision-making, and bicycling has remained central to the department's inter-modal planning efforts. RIDOT has aggressively pursued a strategy of acquiring abandoned rail lines to convert into scenic commuter and recreational trails. As part of RIDOT's continuing efforts to promote bicycle use as another form of transportation, the department's Intermodal Planning Division identified the need to compile a comprehensive survey of bike path activity that would provide a gauge of user demand and general preferences and attitudes. The construction of several new bike ways has intensified the need for new and current data on path use, types of users, maintenance issues, and the positive economic potential of the state's bike ways to local businesses. The paths have a wide appeal. In fact, 99.12% of respondents answered, "yes" when asked if bike path construction constituted good use of tax dollars. The results of the survey reveal enthusiastic support for the bike ways as a means to promote a healthy lifestyle.

Overall, the survey has provided RIDOT with a valuable source of user data relative to bike path maintenance, safety and economic benefits, and will serve as a useful resource for future bike way planning. 190 p.
