DESCRIPTION:
This study discusses a four-step process to assist a community in implementing a '4-e'
(engineering, education, enforcement, and encouragement) program encouraging alternative
modes of transportation. Step 1, 'Understanding the bicycling and walking situation', involves
identifying levels of walking and bicycling, and statistics on hazards, injuries, and assaults. Step 2,
'Setting achievable goals and objectives' gives general information on engineering, education,
enforcement, and encouragement. Step 3, 'Developing an action plan', provides necessary tasks.
Step 4, 'Evaluating the work' discusses ways to measure outcomes. Specific state/city examples
are detailed for most suggestions in each step. A list of references is included.
