Summary:

In 2016, TREC was part of a team, in partnership with ICF and Alta Planning, that developed the Strategic Agenda for Pedestrian and Bicycle Transportation, a framework to inform future investments, policies, and partnerships and serves as the update to U.S. DOT’s 1994 National Bicycling and Walking Study. The agenda establishes a strategic, collaborative approach for making walking and rolling viable transportation options for people of all ages and abilities in communities throughout the U.S. Developed with input from a broad range of technical experts, transportation agency staff, and stakeholders from across the nation, the agenda articulates goals and actions to promote safe, accessible, and comfortable, and connected bicycle and pedestrian networks; ensure the safety of nonmotorized travelers; achieve equitable access for everyone to safe, accessible, comfortable, and connected multimodal networks with connections jobs, schools, and essential services; and to expand transportation options and choices for all. As part of this project, Dill and McNeil initiated a coordinated and comprehensive effort among all DOT stakeholders to expand the availability and deployment of data about pedestrian and bicycle network infrastructure.
