BikeTexas Benchmark Study

Bench_Footer_Official_580
BikeTexas is currently undertaking a benchmarking study that will determine the baseline for bicyclist and pedestrian issues. This study will assess over 30 of Texas' largest cities on issues like pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, education and advocacy programs, funding, mode share, and safety. By doing an inventory of the innovations being made in cities across Texas, these cities will be able to learn from one another and see first hand how these ideas can be applied to their cities.

 

As educational reference material, BikeTexas has compiled informative web pages of bicycle terminology. The links explain innovative ideas in further detail to help city officials complete the survey, and to generally inform the public. All of these pages can be found in question form in the BikeTexas Benchmarking Study. The numbers of each link correspond directly to their number in the Benchmarking Survey. Each link provides imagery and a brief explanation to each term.
