Use of one of the older technological modes of mobility, the bicycle, could contribute to efforts to bring more sustainable transportation systems to busy urban areas, says Thomas Czerniawski (at far right in photo), an assistant professor in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, part of the Fulton Schools. Czerniawski, fellow ASU faculty members and student researchers are working on a project supported by the Zimin Institute for Smart and Sustainable Cities at ASU. The team is exploring what could be done to transform the city of Tempe — including the busy area on and around ASU’s Tempe campus — into a “bicycling oasis,” with the idea of also providing other urban communities a template for improving their transportation scenarios by enhancing bicyling infrastructure.
