Statewide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan

Plan Purpose
and Background

Planning for and constructing accommodations for bicycling and walking and improving safety, education, and enforcement programs are critical in increasing the mobility of pedestrians and bicyclists. One of the underlying principles in planning for bicycling and walking is to provide a system that allows users significant mode choices, and to make bicycling and walking a more attractive, viable option for transportation. This includes creating a non-motorized network comprised of on-street facilities, off-street facilities, and end of trip facilities. Education and enforcement programs also enhance alternative forms of transportation.

Statewide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan – August 2003

The Arizona Statewide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan (the Plan) serves to provide a long-term plan for a system of shared roadways and bicycle and pedestrian facilities for the ADOT State Highway System. Most importantly, the Plan guides ADOT in making transportation decisions, which impact bicycling and pedestrian activities, and improves the accommodation of these non-motorized modes of transportation within Arizona’s transportation system. In addition, the Plan recommends policies, design, and maintenance guidelines for consideration by all implementing agencies in Arizona.

Plan Implementation

The principal goal of the Arizona Statewide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan is to establish materials and programs that, upon implementation improve the safety and quality of bicycling and walking in Arizona. Since 2003, a number of programs, plans, and materials recommended in the Plan have been developed and implemented. The following list summarizes the efforts taken to implement the recommended plans, programs, and support materials.
