Where do Bicycles and Pedestrian Programs Fit?
Targets must quantify walking, biking and transitProposal Includes:
Collision Reduction
Minutes of walking and biking
Mode share increase
Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) reduction
Ratio of transit to automobile
GHG Targets Alone Not Enough
Increase walkable/bikeable destinations
