    Boosting Women's Participation in Bicycling Through Adult Bicycle Skills

    Getting from here to there: Boosting women’s participation in bicycling through adult bicycle skills training by Stephanie Sersli M.A., York University, 2009 B.A. (Hons.), Simon Fraser University, 2003 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Doctor of Philosophy Program Faculty of Health Sciences © Stephanie Sersli 2020 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Fall 2020 Copyright in this work rests with the author. Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Declaration of Committee Name: Stephanie Sersli Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Thesis title: Getting from here to there: Boosting women’s participation in bicycling through adult bicycle skills training Committee: Chair: David Whitehurst Associate Professor, Health Sciences Meghan Winters Supervisor Associate Professor, Health Sciences Maya Gislason Committee Member Assistant Professor, Health Sciences Nicholas Scott Committee Member Associate Professor, Sociology and Anthropology Tiffany Myrdahl Muller Examiner Senior Lecturer, Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies Susan Handy External Examiner Professor, Environmental Science and Policy University of California at Davis ii Ethics Statement iii Abstract Increasing bicycling in cities is a public health and sustainability goal. Although supportive infrastructure is a necessary precondition for most people to begin riding, other forms of encouragement are also needed to spur uptake across populations. Women are an important target group as they participate in bicycling at roughly one-third the rate of men. While much is known on the importance of a safe, dense, and well- connected bikeway network, there are knowledge gaps on ‘soft’ interventions related to training or education.
  • Cycling: Supporting Economic Growth in Canada

    Cycling: Supporting Economic Growth in Canada

    Cycling: Supporting Economic Growth in Canada Prepared by Vélo Canada Bikes for the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance pre-budget consultations Submitted August 3rd, 2018 1 Investing in cycling and active transportation: Supporting economic growth in Canada Recommendations for the Government of Canada In collaboration with provincial and territorial governments, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, the Assembly of First Nations and additional stakeholders, implement the following recommendations: Recommendation #1: Develop a funding stream designed to rapidly increase the development and improvement of active transportation infrastructure and related traffic calming in all Canadian municipalities and in rural areas. Recommendation #2: Establish a national-level forum to consult, share, and develop a plan for moving more people and goods by bicycle in a wide variety of Canadian settings including urban, rural and remote communities. Recommendation #3: Direct Statistics Canada to collect data that will ensure the adequate and appropriate monitoring and reporting of the prevalence, potential and safety of cycling in Canadian municipalities. Use this data to set achievable evidence-based five- and ten-year transportation mode share targets for cycling. 2 Investment in bicycling represents a vastly underexploited opportunity for economic growth in Canada. If more Canadians were able to safely use a bicycle for daily transportation, there would be significant economic benefits including: a boost to economic productivity from a healthier and more productive workforce; improved mobility and personal savings for Canadians; disadvantaged groups could more easily gain skills and access employment opportunities and there would be an increase in business and tourism revenues. Increased cycling would also help to counter the negative economic costs that motorized vehicles impose on society in the form of congestion; road casualties; physical inactivity and poor health; pollution; and the political and environmental costs of maintaining fossil fuel supplies.

  • Exploring the Car-Sharing Culture Shift in Metro Vancouver

    Exploring the Car-Sharing Culture Shift in Metro Vancouver

    Changing Gears: Exploring the car-sharing culture shift in Metro Vancouver January 2018 Highlights • Vancouver has more car-sharing vehicles per capita than any other North American city. The region’s car-sharing fleet of about 3,000 vehicles is the largest in Canada, and is larger than fleets in key U.S. car-sharing cities such as Seattle, Portland and San Francisco. • An October 2017 Vancity survey targeting more than 4,000 car-share members in B.C. found: n One in three joined a car-share program in the previous 12 months, while two in three joined within the last two years. n More than half of respondents now belong to two or more car-share programs. n The most common reasons for using car-share services are convenience (95%) and saving money (62%), the Vancity survey found, while concern for the environment was cited by 58%. n The strongest car-sharing benefits relate to psychological factors, such as sense of freedom and peace of mind. Getting to certain places are of less significance. n More than one-quarter of survey respondents have disposed of at least one private vehicle to car-share, while 40% have avoided acquiring a private vehicle due to a car-sharing preference. n Younger car-share members are the least likely to say they enjoy not owning a private vehicle. They are also the most likely to say they would sacrifice things such as chocolate and ice cream, an annual vacation and their sense of smell for 12 months, in exchange for the free use of a private car for a year.
