The
Benchmarking
Gap
• Bicycling and walking data is
collected haphazardly
• Bicycling and walking provisions
vary wildly from state to state
• Organizations and agencies require
bicycling and walking data systems
in order to improve conditions
• All 50 states and at least
the largest 50 cities
• Only government
endorsed data sets
• Bike/ped mode share
• Crashes, funding, facilities
• Obesity & diabetes
• Age, income, immigrants
