Bicycle & Pedestrian Planning

The Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan for the National Capital Region was adopted at the July 2006 meeting of the National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board. The plan makes pedestrian safety a priority over vehicle movement, accommodates pedestrians and bicyclists into transportation projects (like the new Wilson Bridge), and connects trails throughout the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia.
The plan contains both funded and unfunded regional projects that would add 680 new miles of paths, bicycle lanes, and other facilities to the region's transportation system. The total estimated cost would be $530 million for approximately 350 bicycle and pedestrian projects. It is the first regional bicycle plan since 1995 and the first-ever regional pedestrian plan.
