Biking & Walking

People biking and walking by the Monona Terrace

The MPO is committed to building a safe, connected, and accessible transportation system for everyone in our region. A key part of our work is helping plan and fund projects that make it easier for people to bike, walk, and roll (a term for using mobility devices, like wheelchairs).

Active Transportation Plan for Dane County

We’re creating an Active Transportation Plan for Dane County to guide the future of biking, walking, and rolling in our region.

The plan will identify what people who bike, walk, and roll need to get around safely and comfortably. It will also serve as a tool to help planners and decision-makers design better streets, sidewalks, and paths.

To start this work, we asked community members to share their experiences through a short survey and an interactive map. Thousands of people participated by filling out the survey and marking places on the map that work well or need improvements.

Our team is currently reviewing the feedback. What we learn will help shape the final plan.
