Statewide Pedestrian and Bicycle Planning Handbook
Source: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
The purpose of this handbook is to help State departments of transportation (DOTs) develop or update State pedestrian and bicycle plans. Based on research including interviews with nine State DOTs and critical evaluations of plans and associated documents from 15 States (see Appendix A) this handbook covers statewide planning from plan inception and scoping to engaging stakeholders and the general public; developing goals, objectives, and strategies; collecting and analyzing data; linking to the larger statewide transportation planning process; and implementation. For each stage of the planning process, this handbook uses recent experiences and noteworthy practices from DOTs around the country, helping to inform a new generation of statewide nonmotorized planning and implementation.
