NATIONAL BICYCLING AND WALKING STUDY

Abstract

This paper discusses the objectives of the National Bicycling and Walking Study. The Congress appropriated one million dollars for the conduct of the Study. Responsibility for the Study was given to the Federal Highway Administration. Congress outlined five objectives for the Study: (1) Determine current levels of bicycling and walking and identify the reasons why they are not better used as a means of transportation; (2) Develop a plan for the increased use and enhanced safety of these modes and identify the resources necessary to implement and achieve this plan; (3) Determine the full costs and benefits of promoting bicycling and walking in urban and suburban areas; (4) Review and evaluate the success of promotion programs around the world to determine their applicability to the role required of the U.S. Department of Transportation to implement a successful program; and (5) Develop an action plan, including timetable and budget, for implementation of such Federal transportation policy.
