Through an overview of cycling and walking trends and policies in Western Europe, the authors draw lessons for programs that can succeed in the United States, including improvements in the transportation infrastructure, with a focus on safety; traffic calming in residential neighborhoods; coordinating walking and cycling with public transport; compact, mixed-use development; and other importable, foundational features.
