Abstract:

Improving the ability of traditionally underserved communities to travel safely and conveniently via walking or wheeling is essential to achieving a sustainable, equitable transportation system that can provide options in how people access jobs, schools, health care services, faith entities, social gatherings, and other destinations. Numerous studies have shown that enhancing the ability of traditionally underserved populations to travel via nonmotorized modes can potentially lead to improved outcomes in public health, safety, and economic development; promote resource efficiency; strengthen inclusive neighborhood relations; and bolster public transit services. These benefits are not limited to underserved and disadvantaged populations but have been shown to have positive impacts community-wide. The purpose of this paper, intended for transportation practitioners and decision-makers, is to: (1) Define transportation equity-related terms in the context of planning for bicycle and pedestrian facilities and programs; (2) Synthesize and highlight recent research findings related to the travel needs of traditionally underserved populations and the role of pedestrian and bicycle planning in addressing equity concerns; and (3) Share strategies, practices and resources to address bicycle and pedestrian planning inequities.
