BIKE: FW: AASHTO Bike Guide Survey

[Jeb Boyt]

Here's your chance to comment in favor of the use of sharrows and other ways 
to improve upon the AASHTO Guidelines.

It helps to have a copy of the guidelines handy when responding to the 
survey (not essential, though).  Completing the survey will take ~15-30 
minutes.

Have at 'em,

Jeb

Dear Colleague:



The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials
(AASHTO) Bike Guide is currently being updated. This effort is funded by the
National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP), a division of the
Transportation Research Board. Your input is essential to the success of
this update. The Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities is produced
by AASHTO and serves as the national guidance steering all bicycle
facilities design in the United States. It "provides information on the
development of facilities to enhance and encourage safe bicycle travel." The
Guide provides design criteria for on-street facilities and shared use
paths.  We need your input into how this important document can be improved
to better serve those who use it.



For your convenience, we have attached the link for the online/web-based
user survey for you to complete.  This may take up to 20 minutes and we
highly recommend that you have your copy of the Guide for the Development of
Bicycle Facilities to use while completing the survey.  Your responses to
the survey questions will indicate how well the existing guide serves your
needs. In addition to reviewing the materials in the existing guide, the
survey will prompt you to identify any areas you feel should be added to the
guide. This will include questions about specific items and general
questions on planning, design, operations and maintenance. We also ask you
to forward this email to your colleagues who may also be interested in
assisting in the update.  Deadline for completion of the survey is November
4, 2004.



The link to the survey is

We appreciate your help on this important effort. The input you provide will
help direct the development of the next edition of national guidelines for
the development of bicycle facilities.





Sincerely,





Bruce W. Landis, P.E., AICP
