BIKEWAYS AND PATHWAYS

Intuitively, most people recognize that bicycling and walking are good for the environment--energy efficient, clean, quiet, and low-impact--and both require little space. However, Federal Highway Administration data indicates bicycling and walking, as means of transportation, have declined in recent years. This article details how accommodating bicyclists and walkers as modes of travel will promote a healthier U.S. transportation system and traffic safety environment, with fewer incidents involving motor vehicles and pedestrians or bicycle riders.
