Abstract:

The Bikeability Checklist (undated), produced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center, and the U.S. Department of Transportation, allows community members to rate the safety and efficiency of using a bicycle to get around. A user can review the questions on the checklist, then take a ride in the community to shops, work, or a friend's house. Upon returning from the ride, the user can answer the questions listed in the checklist.
The checklist also includes suggestions for making a community safer for bicycling. These suggestions are organized based on the categories covered in the checklist and divided into actions that can improve conditions immediately and those that will take more time. The checklist also includes an extensive resources section.
