CURRENT STATUS OF WALKING
Benchmarking Bicycling & Bicycling Walking & in Walking/ the U.S./ Thunderhead Alliance 2007
Sources: ACS (2005), NHTS (2001-2002) , City Surveys
(1) Estimated mode share is from NHTS and represents metropolitan areas as opposed to cities;
(2) All fatality data is based on the 3-year average number of fatalities from 2003-2005;
(3) Pedestrian fatality rate was calculated by dividing the total number of walking trips (using NHTS estimates) by the 3-year
average number of pedestrian fatalities, this value was multiplied by 10,000;
(4) All averages are weighted by population or take into account the sums from all cities except for those noted with a *.
