Liz has journalism and women’s studies de- grees from Penn State University. CAROLYN SZCZEPANSKI is the League’s Director of Communications.

    Propelling Change A Guide to Effective Cycling Advocacy Ward Advocacy Program (WAP) The Ward Advocacy Program is at the heart of the bike union. Its goal is to connect individuals who are motivated to improving cycling infrastructure and offering education in their ward. The vision of the program is to build a movement of grassroots advocacy in local wards which will improve cycling for everyone in the city. The Ward Advocacy Program is meant to engage cyclists, and non-cyclists alike, to support activities that promote the everyday use of bicycles by improving infrastructure, facilities and the public perception of cycling as a valid and vital mode of transportation. Toronto Cyclists Union The Toronto Cyclists Union is a membership-based organization that brings together cyclists from all across Toronto. We are a strong, unified voice advocating the rights of cyclists of all ages and from all parts of the city. We aim to shift the political culture that has resisted the changes that are needed to ensure safe streets for cyclists. We are a vibrant and amplified voice calling for the common goals of safe, legitimate and accessible cycling in Toronto. The bike union coordinates city-wide advocacy on behalf of our members and provide resources for cyclists to be effective advocates themselves by participating in the Ward Advocacy Program.

  • The Vermont Legislative Research Shop
    The Vermont Legislative Research Shop Healthy Communities Background Many lawmakers and organizations are recognizing the connection between public health and community planning. A 1998 study from the Centers for Disease Control reports that approximately 29% of adults in the US are considered “sedentary” and 50% are considered overweight, creating what some consider a formidable health burden (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1998). Many interest groups and professionals agree that physical inactivity can be remedied in part by healthy city planning, but differ on the best way to implement changes. Healthy Residents There are proactive ideas to help community members become more active, most prominent is the push to include walking and/or bicycling into one’s daily routine (Killingsworth 2001). Walking is perhaps the most accessible form of exercise for all people, and studies suggest that it can be beneficial. For instance, in a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, it is reported that “among retired, nonsmoking men, those who walked less than 1.6 km a day had a mortality rate nearly twice that of those who walked more than 3.2 km per day” (Hakim et al, 1998). Bicycling is another popular form of exercise that can allow people to get school and work every day. The League of American Bicyclists reports that about 42 million Americans own bicycles, but many people use them recreationally rather than as a primary form of transportation (Killingsworth 1998). Killingsworth also reports that “in the United States, nearly 25% of all trips are less than 1 mile, but more than 75% these short trips are made by automobile, so it is reasonable to expect that many trips could be made on foot or bicycle” (1998).

The majority of these studies have focused on the interaction between a local language and a non-local language. In this project, I propose an analysis of the mixture of two world languages (Spanish and English), which can be categorised as both local and non-local. I do this through the analysis of the enormously successful reggaeton genre, which is characterised by its use of Spanglish. I used two data types to inform my research: a corpus of code-switching instances in top 20 reggaeton songs, and a questionnaire on attitudes towards Spanglish in general and in music. I collected 200 answers to the questionnaire – half from American English-speakers, and the other half from Spanish-speaking Hispanics of various nationalities.

  • Making Invisible Riders Visible: Motivations for Bicycling and Public Transit Use Among Latino Immigrants
    Making Invisible Riders Visible: Motivations for Bicycling and Public Transit Use among Latino Immigrants By Jesus Miguel Barajas A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Daniel G. Chatman, Chair Professor Robert Cervero Professor Paul Waddell Professor Joan Walker Summer 2016 Abstract Making Invisible Riders Visible: Motivations for Bicycling and Public Transit Use among Latino Immigrants by Jesus Miguel Barajas Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning University of California, Berkeley Professor Daniel G. Chatman, Chair Immigrants now comprise the largest share of the population of the United States since 1850, with continued increases projected into the foreseeable future. Most foreign-born residents come from Latin America and other developing countries. Nationwide, they tend to travel by cheaper and more sustainable modes of transportation upon arrival, gradually adopting American habits of driving over time. A challenge for planners concerned with reducing the impact of automobile travel and providing an equitable transportation system is to understand and capitalize on the motivations for immigrant travel that would allow them to meet their travel needs without relying on cars. In this mixed-methods dissertation, I investigate three questions about the nature of how immigrants travel in the San Francisco Bay Area, a fairly transit- and bicycle-friendly metropolitan region, with these sustainability and equity questions in mind: 1. How do travel patterns differ between low-income immigrants and other population sub- groups? 2. What influences cycling among immigrants and non-immigrants? More specifically, to what extent do individual factors, the social environment, and the built environment predict bicy- cling, and how do their effects differ between immigrants and non-immigrants? 3.
