Bicycle/Pedestrian Information

The 2008 Pedestrian/Bicycle Plan provides a region-wide vision for bicycle and pedestrian facilities and programs and will serve as the bicycle/pedestrian element of the long-range Metropolitan Transportation Plan. The plan update will also serve as the CCMPO’s framework for selecting pedestrian/bicycle infrastructure improvements as well as for education, promotion, enforcement, public policy, and information distribution programs. For further information contact: Peter Keating, or call 802.660.4071 x14.
