TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 552: Guidelines for Analysis of Investments in Bicycle Facilities . . . includes methodologies and tools to estimate the cost of various bicycle facilities and for evaluating their potential value and benefits. The report is designed to help transportation planners integrate bicycle facilities into their overall transportation plans and on a project-by-project basis. The research described in the report has been used to develop a set of web-based guidelines, available on the Internet at http://www.bicyclinginfo.org/bikecost/ , (or see below) that provide a step-by-step worksheet for estimating costs, demands, and benefits associated with specific facilities under consideration. about the TRB: The Transportation Research Board (TRB) is a division of the National Research Council, which serves as an independent adviser to the (American) federal government and others on scientific and technical questions of national importance. |

If your community is considering building a new bicycle facility, you can use this tool to estimate costs, the demand in terms of new cyclists, and measured economic benefits (e.g., time savings, increased livability, decreased health costs, a more enjoyable ride). Notes: - Costs for all types of bicycle infrastructure and amenities are calculated based on local areas, and year pf planned construction. -Costs are in American dollars, all cities shown (for Canadian Cities, choose "other" for city and pick the state nearest your province. -This tool was designed by bicyclinginfo.org in conjunction with the Transportation Research Board.

The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Webpage. "AASHTO is a nonprofit, nonpartisan association representing highway and transportation departments in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. It represents all five transportation modes: air, highways, public transportation, rail ,and water. Its primary goal is to foster the development, operation, and maintenance of an integrated national transportation system." AASHTO provides technical services and is largely regarded as the keeper of North American traffic design standards. They have a for-profit bookstore and and they publish/sell a number of guides for engineering purposes. A comprehensive source of planning and design information for bike paths, lanes and route and other infrastructure elements is their "Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities, 3rd Edition" (1999). It is available in the bookstore on their website. |

Chicago's Bike Plan 2015 (PDF) - - Winnipeg needs one of these! Badly. Well-written and comprehensive. Practical, and well-researched, but simple and clear to read. It's a city with 4 million+ people that's so congested their entire downtown has an upstairs! Sometimes it's hard to tell whether you're on ground level! Triple-decker freeways! And yet, they plan to have a dedicated bikeway within a half-mile of every resident in 8 years. We have only 600, 000 people and so much more land than Chicago! If cycling in Chicago can be this good, we should be able to create a utopia! |
