Abstract:

Walking, biking, and rolling—collectively known as active transportation or micromobility—are fundamental elements of sustainable, connected, and vibrant communities. Nearly every trip involves active transportation, from walking to a bus stop to cycling the final stretch to work. This inherent connection to daily travel is underscored by recent data from Bureau of Transportation Statistics: in 2021, over half (52%) of all trips in the U.S. were less than three miles – suitable for a twenty-minute bike ride; and a significant portion (28%) of trips were less than one mile.
