The Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals (APBP) is a non-profit organization committed to increasing bicycling and walking as modes of transportation in the United States. In the spring of 2010, APBP conducted an online questionnaire via Survey Monkey to investigate the factors that would induce women to bicycle more for transportation. The survey was advertised through various bicycling sites online, and included 37 questions pertaining to demographics, cycling behavior, safety/infrastructure concerns, and open-ended inquiries. The survey received a very strong response, with over 13,000 participants. When the survey closed in May, APBP partnered with the Department of Health Education at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro Department to analyze the results.

Active School Neighborhood Checklist (Arizona DOT) PDF (846.96 KB)  [ more ] [ hide ]		Administration	6/17/2010
More than twenty-three million children (nearly one in three) in the United States are overweight or obese. A school's location—and the walkability and bikeability of its surrounding neighborhoods—can encourage or prevent kids from ever walking and bicycling to school. But to date, school siting agencies have little or no guidance for selecting school sites that promote physical activity. Recognizing this need, a multidisciplinary task force led by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Safe Routes To School Program developed the Active School Neighborhood Checklist (ASNC). The ASNC provides decision makers with a quantitative tool for assessing the potential long-term health impacts of candidate school sites on the children who will attend them. By completing the checklist for each proposed school site, agencies may find that one site clearly is preferable to others.

Tucson, Ariz., Bus Stop Accessibility Study PDF (9.01 MB)  [ more ] [ hide ]		Administration	1/26/2010
City of Tucson ADA Bus Stop Accessibility Study Report (October, 2009) For the past several years, the Tucson Department of Transportation (TDOT) has been working closely with the disabled community to upgrade and expand the sidewalk network. In 1999 and again in 2004, a detailed regional study was conducted to identify key sidewalk gaps and missing ramps that are needed to achieve accessibility along Tucson’s major roadway network in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA Bus Stop Accessibility Study in the Tucson metropolitan region is a continuation of the City of Tucson’s effort to improve accessibility for pedestrians, especially persons with disabilities. A case study of the methodology used to inventory Tucson's sidewalks is also available.
