Abstract:

This report presents an overview of the state of planning for bicycling and walking in the United States in 1995. It includes a discussion of the impact of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) on the development of bicycle and pedestrian plans at the State and Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) levels of government. The report identifies factors that affect the quality and depth of the bicycle and pedestrian plans developed under ISTEA. These factors include the impact of jurisdiction size, geography, and other measurable criteria that might help suggest or determine the kind of plan a State agency or MPO should develop. Seven general categories of plans are described to help agencies determine the spectrum of bicycle and pedestrian planning. Seven factors that affect the quality and depth of the plans also are discussed. The report also assesses the extent to which the plans may help improve conditions and opportunities for bicycling and walking and describes the actions State and local agencies can take to improve the quality of the plans and increase the likelihood of plan implementation. The report attempts to answer the challenging question of whether or not specific plans are likely to improve conditions for bicycling and walking. In addition, 16 critical elements are described to enable jurisdictions to identify actions they can take to increase the likelihood that their plans will be implemented.
