Non-motorized travel is often underrepresented in the regional travel demand forecasting and modeling efforts. As multimodal planning issues gain in importance in many large metropolitan areas, planners and modelers devote more attention to modeling non-motorized travel in particular bicycle travel. A number of modeling efforts were conducted across the nation to model and forecast bicycle travel. Modeling non- motorized travel is becoming more important in the Greater Phoenix Area. This paper describes the effort to model bicycle travel in the Phoenix region, with very limited data available for the model development. The proposed model can be a potential sub-model to the advanced models under development by Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG). The proposed model is based on a bicycle trip assignment in an attributed network to generate more realistic skim and route-choice logsum tables. It takes the outputs of the current mode-choice model and calibrates the bicycle origin-destination (OD) matrix through the feedback from the developed assignment model.
