Understanding the Bike-Train Connection: Best Practices & How to Collect Data on Experiences

 

Presenters:

• Trey Hahn, Encinitas Bike Walk, Bicycle User Experience
• George Liu, Technical University of Munich
• Chris Giles, Content Manager, Encinitas Bike Walk

 

When careful thought is put into their integration, cycling and high quality public transportation together present a practical alternative to car ownership. In this webinar we share best practices from a leading case of bike-train integration (the Netherlands), and on-the-ground data collection techniques from an emerging case (in Southern California) to provide attendees the means to bridge a documented global success with their local context. In presenting the latter case, we give special attention to data collection methods that capture and communicate experiences from the perspective of the bike-train user. Out of the 1.1 million daily train passengers in the Netherlands, 47% of them arrive at the train station by bicycle. Synergies between the modes continue to feed each other’s growth, a phenomenon increasingly documented by Dutch research. We share these synergies and compare and contrast the Dutch system to the North American context. Then, we introduce an open toolkit of experiential data collection methods, and report on their use in Encinitas, California- a small city of 62,000 residents with one of eight stations on the 41-mile COASTER commuter rail that connects the north coastal part of the San Diego metro area to Downtown San Diego.
