Track: Urban and Regional Planning
Authors: David Wasserman

The primary goal of the Valley Transportation Authority’s Countywide Bicycle Plan is to make it safer and more convenient for people to bicycle when traveling from one city to the next in Santa Clara County. This presentation will explore how GIS was used to evaluate existing conditions of the bicycle network and prioritize innovative bicycle projects intended to close gaps and enhance facilities on the cross county bicycle network.
