NATIONAL BICYCLING AND WALKING STUDY. CASE STUDY NO. 22: THE ROLE OF STATE BICYCLE/PEDESTRIAN COORDINATORS
The purpose of this case study is to discuss the role of State bicycle/pedestrian coordinators. One particular focus is on how coordinators should structure the mix of pedestrian and bike duties in their programs. New Federal transportation legislation (i.e., the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991) has led to the creation of new State-level bicycle/pedestrian programs and to the modification of existing bicycle programs, adding pedestrian elements where none existed before. The potential conflicts and synergies of such combined bicycle/pedestrian programs are examined. Also presented is a means of prioritizing the tasks of the bicycle/pedestrian coordinator. As many States are now in the process of starting bicycle/pedestrian programs and are hiring staff, sample job descriptions, as well as examples from various States, are included. The information presented in this case study is from the results of structured interviews with nine State bicycle or bicycle/pedestrian coordinators from the States of California, Colorado, Florida, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, and Texas, along with the authors' experiences in working with such programs over the pase 20 years, and an extensive literature review.
