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.
