How to Use This Calculator

Enter Population Density (per sq mi), Transit Access (%), and Daily Parking Cost ($).
Set Bike Infrastructure (miles).
Review the Auto Mode Share (%) result.
Use Transit Share (%) and Bicycle Share (%) to inform your decision.
Use the chart to visualize the results and explore different scenarios by adjusting inputs.

How the result changes with Population Density (per sq mi)

Population Density (per sq mi): People per square mile in the study area
Transit Access (%): Percentage of residents within 1/4 mile of transit
Daily Parking Cost ($): Average daily parking cost in the area
Bike Infrastructure (miles): Total miles of bike lanes and paths in the area
