Pg 85-92: Implementing Bicycle Improvements at the Local Level

This implementation manual is intended for local governments who want to make improvements to existing conditions that affect bicycling. Thirteen of the most typical situations or factors that impact bicycle use are considered. For each situation or factor the manual provides (as appropriate) a problem overview, a solution overview, implementation strategies, objectives, resource requirements, subtasks, a schedule, specifications, and references.

Chapter 6: Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities, 4th Edition

This guide provides information on how to accommodate bicycle travel and operations in most riding environments. It is intended to present sound guidelines that result in facilities that meet the needs of bicyclists and other highway users. Sufficient flexibility is permitted to encourage designs that are sensitive to local context and incorporate the needs of bicyclists, pedestrians, and motorists. However, in some sections of this guide, suggested minimum dimensions are provided.

Pg 12-17: Shared Micromobility in the US: 2019

For the past four years, NACTO has compiled annual statistics on the growth and use of shared micromobility (bike share, e-bike share,
and scooter share) in the US. These numbers help create a robust picture of this nascent, vibrant, and rapidly-changing mobility option
and industry, providing cities, advocates, and companies alike with a comprehensive look at trends, challenges, and opportunities.
This year, the release of the 2019 Shared Micromobility Snapshot coincides with the world-changing COVID-19 global pandemic.

Chapter 4: Bikes on 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 6: Infrastructure: 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).

Pg 34-43: Transit and Micromobility

Micromobility refers to small, low-speed vehicles intended for personal use and includes station-based bikeshare systems, dockless bikeshare systems, electric-assist bikeshare, and electric scooters. Micromobility has the potential to increase the number of transit trips by expanding the reach of multimodal transportation, but it also could replace transit trips.

Pg 44-45: School Site Planning, Design and Transportation

This report provides information to aid school and local officials, engineers, architects, planners, and developers in creating walkable, community-based schools. A major emphasis is on the design of new schools for maximum walkability, traffic safety, and efficiency. This report also addresses these issues for the improvement or redevelopment of existing school sites.

Pg 567-580: Traffic Control Devices Handbook

The Handbook augments the 2009 Edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). The Traffic Control Devices Handbook, 2nd Edition provides guidance and information to implement the provisions of the MUTCD. The objective of the Handbook is to bridge the gap between the MUTCD requirements and field applications. Additional guidance is provided on the new MUTCD requirements to clarify these MUTCD provisions. The Handbook does not establish policy, procedures, or standards for an agency, or set the "standard-of-care" for decisions on traffic control devices.

Chapter 3: Bikes at 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.
