51 Perceptions of Transportation Change Although the before-and-after element of the study was the primary purpose for the secondwave survey, this survey was useful in its own right. Questions were introduced in this wave to measure how respondents view changes to transportation in their communities over the course of the study, allowing the investigation of whether those perceptions vary based on treatment or control communities (i.e., if the community experienced the introduction of a bicycle facility)

Perceptions of Transportation Change 57 Respondents appear to be much more likely to rate changes as "better" in the treatment areas that received new bicycle facilities than in the control communities, with even more pronounced improvements for bike lane/trail availability and quality. Few Talladega respondents expressed improved bike safety, while none expressed improvements in bike lane/trail availability or quality.

Perceptions of Transportation Change 59 Although there are limitations to the interpretation of retrospective perceptions, the significant differences between the treatments and controls are insightful. Given the same prompts, those in treatment neighborhoods were more likely to identify changes in bikeability as positive compared with their control-neighborhood counterparts.

Although this study isolated facility projects, still other projects occurred either before the study project or during the same time frame but outside the study boundaries.
