Transportation engineering trends have focused on the design of roadways for the accommodation of automobiles for decades. With fewer accommodations for bicyclists and multi-modal facilities to encourage motorists to share the road, it is difficult to expect them to do so. Projects and programs that support the increase and awareness of the benefits of cycling and strive to reduce the number of cyclists involved in conflicts with automobiles and other roadway users are of utmost importance.
Use this section of the website as a source of information on design and engineering tools that promote bikeability. There are resources from government agencies and various professional organizations. A network of well designed bicycle facilities will support a safe and healthy transportation alternative that is paramount to achieving sustainability and enhancing the quality of life in the region.
