Title

Overcoming Barriers to Cycling in Low-Income and Minority Communities

Abstract

Dr. Weigand will discuss the process and outcomes of a project to reach out to members of minority and low-income communities in Portland to understand their current travel patterns and barriers to bicycling for transportation and recreation. The program, conducted by the Community Cycling Center and the Initiative for Bicycle and Pedestrian Innovation at Portland State University, was intended to foster dialogue with community members about bicycling and inform the design of new programs intended to serve these audiences.
