TRANSIT COOPERATIVE RESEARCH PROGRAM
Rural public transit systems and rural intercity bus service face a wide variety of challenges on a daily basis.

SANTA MONICA BIKE CENTER
The Bike Action Plan is guided and supported by Santa Monica’s award-winning 2010 Land Use and Circulation Element (LUCE) which lays out a bold vision for the city’s future, one that protects and enhances the city’s beautiful neighborhoods, creates new community benefits in complete neighborhoods around the new light rail stations, supports community character through good design, and minimizes traffic through a “No Net New Vehicle Trips” policy. This Bike Action Plan strives to be equally bold and practical. On the one hand, this plan envisions a future Santa Monica in which it is attractive and fun for Santa Monicans of all ages and abilities to use a bike to get everywhere in the city and to meet all the needs of daily life. On the other hand, it is also a detailed five-year implementation strategy for moving toward that vision.

Snarled highways, epic commutes, and gridlocked business and commercial districts mar our suburban existence, weighing heavily upon our elected leaders, our policymakers, and our families. Yet a more costly problem needs to be addressed on America’s roads: motor vehicle crashes. In 2009, traffic crashes killed 33,808 people in the United States – about 93 deaths per day, and nearly four every hour.
