dc.description.abstractAround the world, active transportation is looked at as one solution to problems presented by climate change, epidemic obesity, rising fuel prices, and crippling traffic congestion. In 2008, the University of Oregon launched the Bike Loan Program as an effort to address these issues. Because those interested in participating in the Bike Loan Program were randomly selected based on bicycle size availability, those who were not chosen acted as a perfect control group. This study evaluates the impacts of the Bike Loan Program on participants vis-a.-vis non-participants, and seeks to determine if those participating do ride bikes more often than non-participants. This study will also show what modes of transportation are being replaced by bike trips when a person participates in the Bike Loan Program. Finally, this study also shows if there are changes in attitudes or perceptions about transportation resulting from participation in the program.en_US
