"The Bicycle Facilities Study by Sprinkle Consulting, under the direction of the governor's statewide TE Review Committee is the best that I have seen on this topic of accommodating bicycling and walking. We have initiated statewide action to change our design policy to bring our standards into compliance with their report."

Transportation Research

Sprinkle Consulting, Inc. is a national leader in bicycle and pedestrian research, planning, design, and training. Our research produces results which are directly relevant to transportation professionals and has led the development of numerous analytical tools for planning and design. Our plans range from system wide analyses of pedestrian and bicycling accommodation and demands to street level corridor plans. Sprinkle Consulting staff are frequently called upon to design on-street bike facilities, sidewalks, and shared use paths. In addition, they are often asked to review the plans and concepts of others. We also provide training services for the Federal Highway Administration’s National Highway Institute and numerous states and communities across the country.

Sprinkle Consulting’s past and ongoing projects have led to numerous technical papers and reports. Descriptions and Acrobat (PDF) files of some of these papers and reports are provided using the links to the left.
