PBIC Launches New White Paper Series**
CHAPEL HILL, NC — The Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center (PBIC) announces the creation of a new white paper series to expand access to the latest pedestrian- and bicycle-related research, resources and tools.
The white paper series is intended to provide a broad array of information about some of the most commonly requested topics of interest among engineers, public health officials, planners and advocates. The papers feature the most up-to-date research, resources and tools on a variety of topics.
PBIC already has completed the first two papers in the series: “An Overview of Automated Enforcement Systems and Their Potential for Improving Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety” and “Using Health Impact Assessments to Evaluate Bicycle and Pedestrian Plans.” Those papers can be found at www.walkinginfo.org/library, and copies of the papers also will be available for review during the Transportation Research Board’s annual conference.
Future topics include high visibility crosswalks, road diets and cycle tracks.
