• Abstract:
  The purpose of this project was to gather information to aid in the determination of trip generation rates for various bicycling and walking facilities, such as signed and marked bicycle lanes, wide curb lanes, multi-use paths, and sidewalks. To put it more simply, if a pedestrian or bicycle facility is built, how many people will use it? In the current climate of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA), States, metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), and localities have more flexibility to plan for an implement bicyclist and pedestrian facilities and related programs. Planners, engineers, researchers, and bicycling / walking advocates thus all have a great need for information related to the use of bicycling and walking facilities. This project, performed as a supplemental activity to the National Bicycling and Walking Study, was an attempt to provide such information.
