3 Health and Bicycling

4 Increasing rates of obesity % of adults 20+ obese 40% 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% 34% 31% 23% 15% Ogden CL, Carroll MD, McDowell MA, Flegal KM. Obesity among adults in the United States no change since NCHS data brief no 1. Hyattsville, MD: National Center for Health Statistics

5 Obesity & Inactivity Death Tobacco smoking High blood pressure Overweight-obesity (high BMI) Physical inactivity High blood glucose High LDL cholesterol High dietary salt Low dietary omega-3 fatty acids High dietary trans fatty acids Alcohol use Low intake of fruits and vegetables Low dietary polyunsaturated fatty Deaths (000) Danaei G, Ding EL, Mozafarrian D, et al.

7 Health benefits, but also risks

8 How do we increase cycling?

9 Socio-Ecological Model Demographics Physical Environment Walking/ Bicycling Behavior Psychosocial factors

10 What does the research say? Reviewed 139 studies Pucher, Dill, and Handy, Infrastructure, Programs, and Policies to Increase Bicycling, Preventive Medicine, Jan 2010, Vol. 50, S.1, pp. S106-S125.

11 What does the research say? Generally, not enough Several studies (but not all) found positive associations with bike lanes, paths, boulevards, cycletracks, and traffic calming Effects can vary depending upon type of cyclist Independent effects of other infrastructure (e.g. parking, bike boxes, signage) difficult to detect Likely play important supportive role, as do policies and programs

12 What is possible? The most compelling evidence we found came from communities that have implemented a fully integrated package of strategies to increase bicycling. Pucher, Dill, Handy, 2010.

13 Increase in Bike Share of Trips in Cities Around the World Percent of Trips Berlin ('90-'07) Boulder ('90-'06) Odense ('94-'02) Freiburg ('82-'07) Muenster ('82-'01) Amsterdam ('70-'05) Copenhagen ('98-'05) Groningen ('90-'05)

14 Increase in Bike Share of Trips in Cities Around the World Percent of Trips London ('03-'06) Barcelona ('05-'07) Paris ('01-'07) Bogota ('95-'07) Minneapolis ('80-'08) Portland ('90-'08)

23 Research in Portland The Role of Traditional Network Facilities Innovative Infrastructure Psychology

24 BikeGPS Study Research questions How does the built environment influence bicycling behavior? What routes do cyclists take? Phases Random phone survey of Portland, OR region adults GPS

25 Barriers to cycling more Do any of the following environmental barriers keep you from biking or biking more? Of people who want to cycle more, % of category that identified this barrier Non-cyclist Recreation Only Infrequent Utilitarian Too much traffic 60% 65% 40% No bike lanes or bike trails 33% 47% 28% No safe places to bike nearby 33% 38% 18% Too many hills 28% 36% 32% Distances to places are too great 26% 29% 27% Poorly maintained streets or rough surfaces 27% 20% 10% No interesting places to bike to 26% 20% 14% n (weighted)

26 GPS data collection 164 people in 2007 Keep GPS for 7 days Take on all bike trips (a few exceptions) Not representative sample of the population Participant entered some data Trip purpose and weather If taking bike on transit

27 Follow up on-line survey Accuracy of route Route choice decisions Missing data

28 Trip destinations Other 1% School 1% Work related 3% Dining 3% Exercise 7% Home 33% Shopping 7% Personal business 8% Social/recreation 12% Work 25% Excludes trips involving transit

29 Actual Trips Shortest Paths

30 Cyclists are going longer distances to use bicycle infrastructure 100% 90% 14% 6% 4% 80% 10% 15% 70% 18% 9% Bike paths Bike boulevards 60% Minor & Secondary arterials, with bike lanes 50% 9% 30% Primary arterials/highways, with bike lanes Minor streets & unimproved roads, no bike lanes 40% Secondary arterials, no bike lanes 30% 29% 21% Primary arterials/highways, no bike lanes 20% 10% 16% 15% 0% 3% Actual Routes (6,131 miles) Shortest Path Routes (4,629 miles) Excludes trips involving transit, trips with the main purpose of exercise, organized rides, and trips starting and ending at the same place

33 Innovative Infrastructure

34 Evaluation of Bike Boxes at Signalized Intersections Jennifer Dill, Ph.D., PSU Urban Studies & Planning Director, Oregon Transportation Research & Education Consortium Christopher Monsere, Ph.D., P.E. PSU Civil & Environmental Engineering

35 Why Bike Boxes? Right Hook Collision

36 Bike Boxes in Portland 9 - Green Bike Boxes 3 - Uncolored Bike Boxes

37 Do Users Understand the Markings?

38 Motorist Survey If you approached an intersection with a red light where should you stop your car? 9% in box <1% either 1% don t know 89% 2% in box 1% either 3% don t know 94%

39 Do Users Behave as Intended?

40 Motorist Encroachment in the Bike Box % of motor vehicles arriving on red signal encroaching in the bike box All Encroachments 23% 28% Minor Moderate 5% 3% 13% 12% Color No Color Major 10% 8%

41 Location of Stopped Cyclist in Box B (in box, bike lane area) A (in box, in front of MV lane) C (bike lane behind box) D (other) No other bike present A (in box, in front of MV lane) C (bike lane behind box) Bike in Location B 73% of cyclists stop ahead of motor vehicle (A or B), though only 9% in front (area A)

42 Are the markings improving safety?

43 Motor Vehicle Encroachment in Crosswalk % of motor vehicles arriving on red signal encroaching in the crosswalk Control p= % 13% No Color p= % 19% Before After Color p= % 25%

44 Cyclist Encroachment in Crosswalk % of cyclists arriving on red signal encroaching in the crosswalk Control p= % 23% No Color p= % 23% Before After Color p= % 41%

45 Conflicts between motorists and cycles Before Number of Conflicts After 2 0 NW Bway & Hoyt NW Everett & 16th SE 11th & Hawthorne SE 7th & Hawthorne SW 3rd & Madison SW Bway & Taylor W Burnside & 14th Ave No conflicts before or after at three bike box intersections and both control intersections.

46 Motorist Survey Do you think the bike box has made driving safer or more dangerous at the intersections?) All motorists Motorists who are not cyclists A lot safer 16% 13% A little safer 36% 29% No difference 18% 17% A little more dangerous 9% 11% A lot more dangerous 3% 4% Don t know 18% 27% n %

47 Bicyclist Survey Do you think the bike box has made the intersection safer for you as a cyclist? A little more dangerous 2% I don't know 8% No difference 13% A lot safer 20% A little safer 57%

48 Conclusions Findings supporting boxes Compliance and understanding is high Pedestrians are benefitting from reduced crosswalk encroachment Conflicts fell Yielding behavior increased Improved perceptions of safety Unclear findings Increase in bike lane encroachment
