This report describes research conducted to evaluate bicycle and pedestrian facilities (i.e., shared use trails) with user satisfaction and perception surveys. Public and community input on transportation projects if often mentioned as a necesary step in the planning process but seldom performed. The opinions and perceptions of facility users are immensely valuable in improving conditions at current trails as well as in the development and design of new trails. In this study, the research team developed on-site and mail-back survey instruments that were distributed on three shared use trails in Texas: the Brays and Buffalo Bayou Trails in Houston, and the Shoal Creek Trail in Austin. The responses to the surveys were analyzed to determine consistent themes and trends in user satisfaction and perceptions.
