Fast Facts About Walking and Bicycling: This chapter provides basic parameters on walking and bicycling, such as trip rates, trip distance and travel time distributions, comparative average distances and travel times across trip purposes, and correspondence of bike and walk trip rates with user characteristics (e.g., gender, income, auto ownership, education, and race/ethnicity). Most of this information is from a single source, the 2009 National Household Travel Survey, to ensure consistency among the various relationships. Sections include: Walking and Bicycling Activity Levels, The Role of Distance in Non-Motorized Travel, Walking and Biking by Trip Purpose, Who Walks and Bikes,
