Digests of Recent Faculty and Student Research

Faculty and students at Portland State University, Oregon State University and the University of Oregon are conducting research on many aspects of bicycle and pedestrian travel.  Summaries of this research and links to full reports, where available, are provided here (currently they are awaiting review).

We will be adding them on a regular basis.
