Mobility and Livability: Season and Built Environmental Impacts: Bicycle Travel - Part 2A

Recognition of disadvantages of automobile-focused transportation systems, such environmental and public health impacts, has motivated a focus on options. Non-motorized transport modes such as bicycling have multiple advantages in these respects, but barriers to expanded use of these options need to be better understood. This study will document factors influencing choice of bicycling as a transportation mode for commuting to work in a northern climate. Results will contribute to methods for estimating demand for these services.
