The Bay’s Bike Equity iMap

Research and Development; the Bay’s Bike Equity iMap

Cites are growing their investment in urban bike systems to substitute driving for daily origin to destination commutes and multimodal access. These investments require accurate methods and dataset for equity assessments. This project directly addresses this need in the 9 counties of the Bay Area region. In partnership with the community through using integrated Delphi-AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) method, we will define the indicators of bike ability and a weighting matrix for the defined indicators to quantify bike ability and bike equity assessments. Ultimately, we will design and develop an user-interface to release the findings along with data for other non-auto transportation infrastructures (e.g., transit) to support the local policy and planning for boosting multi-modal mobility in the Bay Area.
