The Center for Advancing Research in Transportation Emissions, Energy and Health (CARTEEH) hosted a webinar on Wednesday, February 15, 2023, from 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. CST on the role that perceived safety has on bicycling behavior. CARTEEH’s 2022 Student of the Year, Michelle Duren, discussed the relationship between local transportation policies and bicycle use. Michelle shared the methods and findings from a series of logistic regression models that were run to assess the extent to which changes in perceived safety mediated the impact of those policies on bicycling behavior.
