Ann Arbor Comprehensive Non-Motorized Transportation Plan

Central Planning Area Workshop - Wednesday, September 15, 2004, 7:00 – 9:00 PM at the Community High Media Center.

The goal of the project is to create a comprehensive non-motorized plan for the City of Ann Arbor that will lead to a safe and interconnected system of bicycle and pedestrian facilities serving the people of the city. The measurements of success of the resulting system will include:

? An increase in the percentage of trips made by bicycling and walking;

? A reduction in the rates of bicycle and pedestrian crashes; and

? A healthier populace.

Underlying the project are the goals of access, equity, and incentives for mutually beneficial modes of travel. Specifically, the City’s transportation system should support a variety of transportation choices and encourage transportation modes that lead to a healthier lifestyle and a better environment for the city.
