Projecting Reductions in Vehicle Kilometers Traveled from New Bicycle Facilities

This paper presents a simple method for projecting the impact of new bicycle facilities on vehicle kilometers traveled. Our method starts with existing short-duration bicycle counts on or near the facility corridor, then applies six adjustment factors to project reductions in vehicle kilometers trav...
