| Abstract | The Low-Stress Bikeability Assessment Tool is designed to guide local governments 1) in evaluating the extent to which average bicycle riders can easily access low-stress areas, and 2) in developing strategies to leverage state investments to improve local cycling networks and bicycle infrastructure. Preparation of this assessment tool is part of a larger Planning for Complete Communities in Delaware initiative that is an ongoing collaboration between IPA and the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), which provided funding for this project. Associate policy scientist William DeCoursey, public administration fellow Kirsten Jones, and policy scientist Marcia Scott led the project team that researched several low-stress approaches to attract the mainstream population in Delaware to bicycle networks, gained input from stakeholder groups, and prepared the assessment tool. This tool is a resource for Delaware local governments that are considering ways to improve low-stress bikeability for areas within their community. | en_US |
