The Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center at the University of North Carolina has produced a white paper entitled, "Pursuing Equity in Pedestrian and Bicycle Planning."

The paper, intended for transportation practitioners and decision-makers, has three objectives:

  • Define transportation equity-related terms in the context of planning for bicycle and pedestrian facilities and programs.
  • Synthesize and highlight recent research findings related to the travel needs of traditionally underserved populations and the role of pedestrian and bicycle planning in addressing equity concerns.
  • Share strategies, practices, and resources to address bicycle and pedestrian planning inequities.
