Abstract:

This report discusses current levels of bicycling and walking for utilitarian and recreational purposes and assesses the potential for increased usage. Included is an exploration of the major demand constraints on non-motorized forms of travel. The following issues are addressed: the chief factors influencing the decision to bicycle or walk; the effect of facilities, environment, and commute distances on levels of bicycle commuting; whether public policy can cultivate higher levels of purposeful bicycling and walking; and whether enough is known about bicycling and walking habits to accurately predict levels of usage under different conditions.
