"Cycling infrastructure is all infrastructure cyclists are allowed to use."
Study of the planning and design of bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, including bike lanes, cycle tracks, sidewalks, and crosswalks, as well as safety and equity issues related to active transportation.
Transportation Planning: Refers to the process of designing, implementing, and managing transportation systems to meet the needs of people and goods.
Active Transportation: Refers to non-motorized forms of transportation such as walking, biking, and using a wheelchair, and is commonly used to promote healthy lifestyles and reduce environmental impacts.
Bicycle Infrastructure: Refers to the design and construction of roads, paths, and other facilities that are intended to support safe and convenient bicycle travel.
Pedestrian Infrastructure: Refers to the design and construction of sidewalks, crosswalks, pedestrian bridges, and other facilities that are intended to support safe and convenient pedestrian travel.
Safe Routes to School: Refers to initiatives that encourage students to walk and bike to school by providing safe infrastructure, education, and encouragement programs.
Complete Streets: Refers to the design of streets that are safe and convenient for all users, including cyclists, pedestrians, and transit users.
Multi-Modal Transportation: Refers to the integration of different modes of transportation, such as walking, biking, public transit, and cars, to create efficient and sustainable transportation systems.
Land Use: Refers to the way land is used and developed, and how this affects transportation and access to different destinations.
Urban Design and Placemaking: Refers to the design of public spaces such as parks, plazas, and streets to create safe, attractive, and functional places that support community activity.
Transit-Oriented Development: Refers to the development of compact, mixed-use, and walkable neighborhoods that are designed to support public transit and reduce dependence on cars.
Accessibility and Universal Design: Refers to the design of facilities and infrastructure that are accessible and convenient for people with disabilities, older adults, and other groups with special needs.
Data Analysis and Visualization: Refers to the use of data, maps, and other tools to analyze transportation patterns and trends, and to visualize this information in ways that promote understanding and informed decision-making.
Public Engagement and Stakeholder Management: Refers to the process of involving the public and stakeholders in transportation planning and decision-making, and managing conflicts and controversies that may arise.
Policy and Planning Frameworks: Refers to the legal, regulatory, and policy frameworks that support and guide transportation planning and decision-making at different levels of government and in different contexts.
Funding and Financing: Refers to the sources and mechanisms for financing transportation infrastructure and operations, and the role of public and private sector actors in this process.
Shared-Use Paths Planning: Involves the development of bike and pedestrian paths that can be used by cyclists, walkers, joggers, and other users.
Bikeway Planning: Focuses on the development of bike lanes, cycle tracks, and other infrastructure designed specifically for bicyclists.
Pedestrian Planning: Aims to improve walkability and pedestrian safety within an urban environment, including the development of crosswalks, sidewalks, and pedestrian zones.
Bicycle Commuting Planning: Involves the development of infrastructure and policies designed to encourage cyclists to use bicycles as a primary mode of transportation.
Bicycle Parking Planning: Involves the development of sufficient and secure bike parking spaces in urban areas to facilitate bike commuting and other bike-centric activities.
Active Transportation Planning: Broader planning framework that encompasses all active modes of transportation, including walking, cycling, rollerblading, and other non-motorized modes.
Complete Streets Planning: Aims to create streets that are accessible and safe for all users, including bikers, pedestrians, and drivers.
Safe Routes to School Planning: Focuses on creating safe and convenient routes for children to walk and bike to school, in order to reduce traffic congestion and promote physical activity.
Transit-Oriented Development Planning: Integrates transportation infrastructure and land use planning to create dense, walkable, and bike-friendly urban environments.
GREENWAYS Planning: Focuses on the development of bike and pedestrian trails that connect natural spaces and promote outdoor recreation and active transportation.
"Bikeways include bike paths, bike lanes, cycle tracks, rail trails and, where permitted, sidewalks."
"Roads used by motorists are also cycling infrastructure, except where cyclists are barred such as many freeways/motorways."
"It includes amenities such as bike racks for parking, shelters, service centers and specialized traffic signs and signals."
"The more cycling infrastructure, the more people get about by bicycle."
"Good road design, road maintenance and traffic management can make cycling safer and more useful."
"Settlements with a dense network of interconnected streets tend to be places for getting around by bike."
"Their cycling networks can give people direct, fast, easy and convenient routes."
