Abstract:When bicycle-pedestrian programs began in the late 1960s, the emphasis was strictly on providing facilities. As communities gained experience and began to identity other needs, the concept of the comprehensive "4-e" program emerged, combining the elements of engineering, education, enforcement, and encouragement. The past 20 years have seen a great deal of growth and much creativity in the field. Some communities have excelled in education while others have implemented strong enforcement programs. Encouragement programs have thrived and engineering work has matured. Today, with the Federal mandate for action contained in the recently passed Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991, there is a growing interest in bicycle and pedestrian transportation. Yet, few communities have the informational underpinnings for a successful program. This report suggests a four-step process through which a community can implement a comprehensive "4-e" program to encourage non-motorized transportation. It includes suggestions for collecting basic data, setting program objectives, building an action plan, and evaluating results.
