| Abstract To make the best use of limited transportation funds, there is a need for better information across two dimensions of bicycle facilities. The first is the costs of different bicycle investment options. The second is the effects that such investments will have on bicycle use and mode share, including the resulting environmental, economic, public health, and social benefits. Such information will assist in decision-making about developing modal options and in the end provide travelers with more transportation choices. The focus of this research plan is to develop guidelines to measure the benefits and costs in order to achieve four principal objectives: 1) To compare investments in bicycling with other modes, 2) To evaluate whether a bicycle facility is justified, 3) To choose the appropriate bicycle facility, 4) To better integrate cycling into the general transportation planning process |
