DESCRIPTION:

This study traces how institutionalization (the integration of bicycle and pedestrian considerations into all facets of transportation) is occurring in the federal government. Elements of integration, including bicycle/pedestrian program staff, plans and policy documents, regulations and ordinances, design manuals and practices, training, transportation demand management, maintenance, and citizen participation are discussed. Specific state examples for each element are given. The tensions between bicycle and pedestrian concerns are explored, and ways to legitimize biking and walking as modes of transportation, such as police on bikes, mileage allowances, corporate and agency commuting, events and promotions, laws and regulations, safety and education, and public relations are considered. Also included are a full existing bicycle parking ordinance, SED policies, the agenda for a two-day planning seminar, steps to cooperate commuting, and a list of references.
