The third edition of "Traveler Response to Transportation System Changes" is issued as separate chapters under the banner of Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) Report 95. The recently released TCRP Report 95, Chapter 16, "Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities," covers not only the effects of infrastructure but also outcomes of walking and bicycling programs and of promotional and information campaigns. Encouraging walking and bicycling is of interest not only to transportation planners and modelers seeking to curb congestion and enhance mobility, but also to public health professionals seeking to promote healthy lifestyles. This article contains selected points from Chapter 16 that offer a sampling of the responses to changes in walking and bicycling facilities and programs.
