Case Study

Pg 1-57: Bike Network Mapping Idea Book

This resource highlights ways that different communities have mapped their existing and proposed bicycle networks. It shows examples of maps at different scales, while also demonstrating a range of mapping strategies, techniques, and approaches. Facility types represented on the respective maps and legends are each different because they represent a community’s unique context and needs.

Pg 15-32: Incorporating On-Road Bicycle Networks into Resurfacing Projects

Installing bicycle facilities during roadway resurfacing projects is an efficient and cost-effective way for communities to create connected networks of bicycle facilities. This workbook provides recommendations for how roadway agencies can integrate bicycle facilities into their resurfacing program. The workbook also provides methods for fitting bicycle facilities onto existing roadways, cost considerations, and case studies.

Pg 55: Resident’s Guide for Creating Safer Communities for Walking and Biking

This guide is intended to assist residents, parents, community association members, and others in getting involved in making communities safer for pedestrians and bicyclists. The guide includes facts, ideas, and resources to help residents learn about traffic problems that affect pedestrians and bicyclists and to find ways to help address these problems and promote safety among all road users. The guide includes information on identifying problems, taking action to address pedestrian and bicycle concerns, finding solutions to improve safety, and resources to get additional information.

Pg 7-20: Pursuing Equity in Pedestrian and Bicycle Planning

Improving the ability of traditionally underserved communities to travel safely and conveniently via walking or wheeling is essential to achieving a sustainable, equitable transportation system that can provide options in how people access jobs, schools, health care services, faith entities, social gatherings, and other destinations.

Pg 26-27: Case Studies in Realizing Co-Benefits of Multimodal Roadway Design and Gray and Green Infrastructure

This document highlights case studies of projects that contribute to safe and connected pedestrian and
bicycle networks in States and communities throughout the U.S., while at the same time providing
resiliency and green infrastructure benefits that promote resiliency and relieve burdens on stormwater
systems. The case studies included in the report are organized in the following categories: (1) Mitigating
Flood Risk, (2) Public-Private Partnerships, (3) Multimodal Network Connectivity, and (4) State and Locally
Driven Projects.

Pg 1-6: Pursuing Equity in Pedestrian and Bicycle Planning

Improving the ability of traditionally underserved communities to travel safely and conveniently via walking or wheeling is essential to achieving a sustainable, equitable transportation system that can provide options in how people access jobs, schools, health care services, faith entities, social gatherings, and other destinations.

Chapter 1: Why integrate bikes and transit?: Bicycle and Transit Integration: A Practical Transit Agency Guide to Bicycle Integration and Equitable Mobility

This guide includes a series of recommended practices for transit agencies interested in addressing
the growing demand for bicycle mobility and connectivity to buses and trains. The recommended practice
covers a broad range of subject matter related to bicycles and transit including bike parking near facilities,
onboarding procedures and other issues to enhance connectivity and grow ridership. Future recommended
practices will explore onboarding policies and procedures and other issues to enhance.

Chapter 7: Current State of Practice: Guidelines for Regulating Shared Micromobility

Developed for cities, by cities, this guidance outlines best practices for cities and public entities regulating and managing shared micromobility services on their streets. While many of the issues covered are applicable to all forms of shared micromobility, this document is explicitly meant to help cities establish guidelines for formal management of public-use mobility options that are not managed through traditional procurement processes (the management mechanism for most docked bike share programs in North America).
