VISION 2050 and the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) call for promoting and improving pedestrian and bicycle transportation networks to support an accessible and sustainable regional transportation system. PSRC is working with communities throughout the region to plan for and implement effective pedestrian and bicycle projects and programs.
The central Puget Sound region’s sidewalks, bicycle and shared use facilities provide vital connections for accessing transit and other local and regional destinations. Pedestrian and bicycle planning efforts at PSRC focus on ensuring equitable access to a safe and well-connected active transportation network as the region grows.
The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee provides technical guidance to PSRC’s planning work program related to regional pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure and supportive facilities that encourage increasing numbers of people to walk, bike, and roll.
Regional Pedestrian and Bicycle Data
Over the past few years, PSRC has worked to build comprehensive and consistent regional pedestrian and bicycle data inventories. Further details on this work can be found in the Active Transportation Plan. One of the primary datasets collected as part of this work is the regional pedestrian and bicycle facilities inventory. This inventory provides information on sidewalk and bicycle facilities on arterials and regional shared use paths. This data can be viewed using PSRC’s Transportation System Visualization Tool and downloaded through the PSRC Data Portal.
