| 摘要： | As the decade draws to a close, average federal spending on bicycle and pedestrian facilities exceeds $260 million annually. The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) has staff working on bicycle and pedestrian issues in most of its agencies. In addition, the USDOT has set ambitious national goals for bicycling and walking, is nearing completion of a multiyear bicycle and pedestrian research program, has elevated bicycle and pedestrian safety to priority status, and has published a wide range of related technical and promotional literature. Every state is required by law to have a bicycle and pedestrian coordinator, and dozens of cities and counties have full-time bicycle and pedestrian staff. Public opinion and attitudes toward bicycling have also become more favorable. Thus, as the new millennium dawns, the future for bicycling as a component of the transportation system looks bright. This paper discusses the improved prospects for bicycling, as well as the significant obstacles to be overcome before it can break through as a mainstream transportation mode. |
