Abstract

Nonmotorized transportation continues to be a major topic for the international transportation community. Just the enormous volume of nonmotorized transportation suggests that these modes must not be ignored in transportation planning, safety and operation. As the papers in this volume attest, researchers are trying to understand how nonmotorized transportation functions as part of transportation systems and in the larger economic and social fabric of cities and countries. Nonmotorized transportation has economic and environmental benefits that are discussed in this volume. As the nature and benefits of nonmotorized transportation are better known, transportation planners and policy makers should be in a position to include the mode in their formal deliberations, plans, and policies. The papers in this volume indicate that this must happen globally if the world's transportation needs are to be met in balanced, sustainable form.
