Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Active transportation (AT) strategies improve community living, health, and the environment in all communities, including rural ones. Pinawa is a small Canadian town in Manitoba that won national awards for active living but wanted an AT plan for further improvement. We undertook a case study of AT priorities of Pinawa’s community members and tourists through 22 semi-structured interviews, site observation, mapping, and cost-benefit analysis. Prioritizing AT users in infrastructure planning and design offers Pinawa many health, environmental, eco-tourism, and economic development benefits. Community priorities to enhance AT are improving infrastructure with bike lanes, sidewalks, crosswalks, and trails. Other planning factors, such as wayfinding signage, bike rentals, and shuttles, would further promote AT. This paper contributes to understanding the role of AT in rural communities, providing practical recommendations for infrastructure and policy changes.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
