Did you know that high rates of walking and biking don't necessarily mean a community has the infrastructure it needs?
In Montgomery County, Maryland, RSG has combined household travel survey data our team collected with research into residents' satisfaction with walking and biking infrastructure. These analyses reveal an important and often surprising distinction: areas can have relatively high levels of active travel despite lower satisfaction with existing infrastructure.
By understanding not just how people travel, but how they feel about their travel options, agencies can better identify where improvements may be needed and make more informed transportation investments.
