Many factors influence one's decision to walk or bike when making a trip. Currently there are limited models available to quantify the demand for walking and biking. This paper describes the basic concepts to estimating non-motorized demand and introduces a new paradigm to quantifying walking and biking trip demand at a parcel level. Looking at non-motorized trips at the parcel level represents a shift towards analyzing activity at a true pedestrian and bike scale. This robust modeling approach is the first of its kind and provides a powerful tool for communities to quantify and compare actual walking and biking demand so that future transportation investments can be evaluated and prioritized. This modeling approach also serves as a tool in conveying how certain land use patterns and infrastructure investments can and do influence the way we travel. The components of the parcel-level, non-motorized model and its application are discussed.
