US DOT Policy Statement on Bicycle and Pedestrian Accommodation


The United States Department of Transportation (US DOT) recently issued an updated Policy Statement on Bicycle and Pedestrian Accommodation - Regulations and Recommendations.

Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood presented at the National Bike Summit and blogged about it on March 15.

Jefferson County will be updating the 2002 Non-Motorized Transportation and Recreational Trails Plan in the coming months. Stay tuned for more information on how to participate.

A blogger in the web-based planning community called "Planetizen" is very impressed with the Secretary's statement at the Bike Summit, especially this part:

LaHood: “This is the end of favoring motorized transportation at the expense of non-motorized.”
