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.
