Is it possible to calculate, and compare, the benefits and costs of building a bike path or a pedestrian bridge? Yes, it is!
Join COMPASS for one (or both!) of two sessions, to explore how the benefits and costs of active transportation infrastructure can be calculated and how those results can be used to lead to more informed decision-making. Come prepared to dive into the world of economics!

This presentation will provide a background on economic methods for evaluating active transportation (cycling and pedestrian) projects. The talk will outline the data and methods for performing analyses and using results to choose among projects and make the case to the public. Several case studies will be presented. The aim is to stimulate discussion about how to apply these concepts to projects in the Treasure Valley.
