Active Transportation Plan for Dane County

We recently adopted an Active Transportation Plan focused on making it safer and easier for people to walk, bike, and roll—including those using mobility devices—across Dane County. The plan will serve as a resource for planners, local officials, and community leaders working to create safer and more connected sidewalks, paths, and bike networks.

The plan was shaped by extensive public input. In spring and summer 2025, more than 3,000 people shared feedback through a survey and interactive map, helping identify what's working well and where improvements are needed across the region.

Regional Transportation Plan Update

We're beginning work on Pathways to 2050, the region's long-range transportation plan that will help guide transportation investments over the next 20–30 years.

As part of the process, we'll be asking for public feedback on the transportation investments and priorities that matter most to you. 

A public survey will be available in the coming weeks, and the first public involvement meeting will be offered at two different days/times:

• Monday, June 15, 2026 | 6–7 p.m.
• Wednesday, June 17, 2026 | Noon–1 p.m.

Municipal Guidance for E-Devices

E-bikes, e-motos, and other e-micromobility devices are becoming more common across the country and throughout the Greater Madison region. As their popularity grows, state and federal regulations have struggled to keep pace—leaving many communities with questions about safety, definitions, and where these devices can legally operate.

The Greater Madison MPO developed guidance to help municipalities navigate these emerging technologies. It provides clear definitions and practical recommendations to support safe, consistent, and regionally aligned regulation of e-devices.
