LEAGUE OF AMERICAN BICYCLISTS
This year, the U.S. Department of Transportation will decide how it will hold states accountable for public safety on our nation’s roadways. The League strongly believes that the Federal Highway Administration needs to set a national performance measure for safety that includes non-motorized safety.
Based on our experience with Every Bicyclists Counts, there is a clear role for the USDOT and state DOTs in reducing the number of bicyclist fatalities and improving our understanding of the risks bicyclists face.

ALLIANCE FOR BIKING & WALKING
For government officials and advocates who promote bicycling and walking in the U.S., it is clear that active transportation is gaining momentum. Protected bicycle lanes are popping up on more city streets, Open Streets initiatives are being organized in communities of all sizes, public bicycle sharing programs are finding success even in sprawling car-centric cities, and business owners are scrambling to install bicycle parking near their front door. In order to meet the growing desire for more bicycle- and pedestrian-friendly communities, policy makers and advocates need a comprehensive analysis of current trends and trials. The Alliance for Biking & Walking’s Benchmarking Project strives to meet this need by tracking and measuring these efforts across the country.
Cambridge, MA: Is This Two-Lane Street Wide Enough?
Monday, April 21st, 2014
A group of recreational cyclists on an urban ride offers an opportunity to explore the capacity limitation of a two-lane arterial street. It is also fair to ask whether the striping of the street with bike lanes benefits primarily bicyclists or motorists, and whether these cyclists understand how to ride as safely and cooperatively as possible on such a street.

TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH BOARD
Bicycling and walking, or “active transportation,” are fundamental modes of transportation, but methods to monitor the traffic of these modes have been slow to advance until the last decade or so. The purpose of this document is to chronicle the most recent advancements in techniques and technology of active transportation monitoring, but it is not meant to be an exhaustive review of the field.

Minnesota Bike Lanes: Learning to Share the Road
Tuesday, March 18th, 2014
Minnesota has a national reputation as one of the best states in the county for biking. Part of this acclaim includes hundreds of miles of on-street bike lanes. We talked with pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists in Minnesota in order to identify some common misconceptions about bike lanes. (Produced by the Minnesota Local Road Research Board.)
