This webinar will present an overview of the Alliance for Biking & Walking’s Bicycling & Walking in the United States: 2016 Benchmarking Report. The Benchmarking Report has tracked the rise in active transportation over the past decade, and includes a greater number of urban areas in its 2016 edition. The webinar will explore some of the changes to the 2016 Benchmarking Report from the 2014 publication, and will help attendees interested in understanding how to gather and interpret data to measure trends in biking and walking. It will also lay out some of the principal health benefits associated with the rise in active transportation, and through a series of case studies and complementary resources, will inform attendees on how to take the information contained within the report and apply the lessons to their own communities.
Learning Objectives:
- Demonstrate the public health, safety, and economic benefits of active transportation
- Identify design elements that increase safety and comfort for bicyclists and pedestrians
- Articulate ways to maximize available funds for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure in communities accross the United States
