Cars vs. Bikes vs. Walking – A Transformation

Secretary Lahood, Department of Transportation on walking and bicycle trails in livable communities. The following is from the USDOT website.

• Treat walking and bicycling as equals with other transportation modes.

• Ensure convenient access for people of all ages and abilities.

• Go beyond minimum design standards.

• Collect data on walking and biking trips.

• Set a mode share target for walking and bicycling.

• Protect sidewalks and shared-use paths the same way roadways are protected (for example, snow removal)

• Improve non-motorized facilities during maintenance projects.
