I’m writing to announce FHWA’s new resource on Small Town and Rural
Multimodal Networks
<http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/bicycle_pedestrian/publications/small_t…>.
This resource will help small towns and rural communities support safe,
accessible, comfortable, and active travel for people of all ages and
abilities. It will provide a bridge between existing guidance on bicycle
and pedestrian design and rural practice, encourage innovation in the
development of safe and appealing networks for bicycling and walking, and
show examples of project implementation. Please share this new resource
with partners and stakeholders in your State.
A few additional updates:
· For those attending TRB, please note that FHWA is hosting an
informal drop-in meeting today, *Monday, January 9 in Conference Room 306
from 1-3pm** (on Level 3 of the Convention Center)*. We’ll be talking about
the *Small Town and Rural Multimodal Networks* report and ongoing
multimodal research projects including *Measuring Multimodal Network
Connectivity* and *Innovative Street Design Practices and Accessibility*. There
are no formal presentations so you’re welcome to stop by anytime.
· I’m attaching the draft Summary of Federal Highway Administration
Pedestrian and Bicycle Research and Program Activities that we’ll be
discussing at TRB. We will be posting the final version of this summary here
<http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/bicycle_pedestrian/resources/trb_summar…>
.
· The Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center has just published Case
Studies in Delivering Safe, Comfortable and Connected Pedestrian and
Bicycle Networks (Volume II)
<http://pedbikeinfo.org/data/library/details.cfm?id=4968>.
· I wanted to be sure you’re aware of the Bicycle-Pedestrian Count
Technology Pilot Project Summary Report
<http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/bicycle_pedestrian/countpilot/summary_r…>.
Recordings of webinars and other material from the pilot are available
on PBIC’s
website <http://www.pedbikeinfo.org/planning/tools_counts_pilot_program.cfm>.
Our Office of Planning also recently released a resource on Coding
Nonmotorized Station Location Information in the 2016 Traffic Monitoring
Guide Format
<http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/bicycle_pedestrian/publications/tmg_cod…>
and I encourage you to check it out and share with your partners.
Thank you,
