Abstract:The growing interest in expanding bike networks in cities and allocating funds for Bicycle Master Plans require careful planning to assess equity and to ensure a fair distribution of bike infrastructure. This means city officials need frameworks with clear workflows, instructions, and details to accurately measure the bike network’s availability and quality to achieve equity goals. However, most assessment methods neglect differences in bike path classes that provide different safety and comfort levels for cyclists. This project fills this gap by using a granular bike network dataset with statistical and geospatial analyses to quantify a bike infrastructure availability score to account for the availability of bike paths as well as the variation of safety and comfort across different bike path classes in San José, California.
