Abstract:
The proposals outlined in this report were a result of collaboration between
Lane Transit District (LTD), the City of Springfield, and the University of Oregon
Sustainable Cities Initiative during the fall academic term of 2012. Forty-seven
students, a mix of graduate and undergraduates from a variety of disciplines,
enrolled in the Planning, Public Policy, and Management course entitled “Topics
in Bicycle Transportation,” used their knowledge of bicycle infrastructure and
planning to develop recommendations to increase the number of bicycles
reaching LTD’s transit stops.
