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
Thunderhead’s Benchmarking
Project• 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
Partners for Full Report
50/50• Institute of Transportation Engineers: traffic
engineer peer review
• Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: health data and health practitioners peer review
• Bicycle industry: bicycle sales and bike shops
A total picture of the built
environment
Reveal and implement
needed improvements
