This report summarizes research activities conducted to develop a bicycle and pedestrian travel demand forecasting methodology. Previous research reports documented the literature review (Report 1723-1) and data collection activities (Report 1723-2). The appendix of this report contains guidelines for estimating bicycle and pedestrian travel demand based upon the type and intensity of land uses adjacent to a study corridor. Since little information or data on bicycle and pedestrian travel demand forecasting were available in Texas, the research team developed a sketch planning methodology by collecting and analyzing bicycle and pedestrian trip survey data at eight urban locations in four different cities in Texas. The bicycle/pedestrian survey data that were collected included specific information about individual trip origins and destinations, trip lengths, trip purpose, and trip frequency. These data, in conjunction with supporting information from other locations, were used to develop bicycle and pedestrian trip generation rates. Bicycle and pedestrian volumes obtained during the survey data collection were used to test and validate the sketch planning method described in this report.
