Bicycle & Pedestrian Facilities

The MPO seeks to preserve and develop a multimodal, intermodal transportation system that facilitates the safe and efficient movement of people and goods. The Central Iowa Bicycle-Pedestrian Roundtable also seeks to address these issues.
Connect: Central Iowa Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Action Plan 2020
The MPO recognizes the significance of creating and expanding opportunities for bicycle and pedestrian transportation facilities in central Iowa. As a result, the MPO developed Connect: Central Iowa Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Action Plan 2020. It aims to:

          - Identify ways to enhance and to expand the existing network;
          - Connect gaps in the system;
          - Promote economic development for the communities;
          - Integrate incentives for increasing bicycling and walking into community policies;
          - Integrate best practices for bicycle and pedestrian facility development;
          - Develop bicycle and pedestrian programs designed for children and adults;
          - Establish bicycle and pedestrian safety programs; and,
          - Increase signage and communications media.
