Types of Planning
Activities

The rising awareness of bicycle and pedestrian issues in transportation
planning has brought with it a new era of planning for these modes.
Planning strategies range from small scale (such as a study to improve
bicycle and pedestrian access to a neighborhood bus stop) to large
scale (such as a statewide master plan for bicycling and walking).
While there are some common elements (such as public participation)
that nearly all bicycle and pedestrian planning projects should include,
they otherwise can vary greatly depending upon the particular situation.
An effective, interconnected system of bicycle and pedestrian facilities
requires planning at a variety of levels. This section describes different
types of bicycle and pedestrian plans and includes a list of example
plans following each description. The example plans include a description
of the plan and contact information.
Additionally, there are many good sources of information about planning
bicycle and pedestrian-friendly communities listed in the resources
section of this website. |
