Bike Advocates face scientific challenge
Will they successfully demonstrate even in bike friendly Marin County that spending money can increase ridership?–Corrie
MARIN BICYCLE advocates are convinced they can move the needle and get more residents to walk and ride bikes instead of driving cars.
The federal government has given the county $25 million to show they are right.
The pilot program is about more than wishful thinking. A report to Congress last week established some important baseline data by measuring travel behavior in Marin andthe three other communities selected for the $100 million Nonmotorized Transportation Pilot Program.
