Active Transportation Plan for Dane County

We’ve launched work on a new Active Transportation Plan for Dane County, which will replace our 2015 Bicycle Transportation Plan. This updated plan will lay out strategies and recommendations to make it easier and safer to walk, bike, or roll (including with mobility devices) throughout the county.

We’re currently gathering input through a short public survey. You can also use our interactive comment map to share feedback—whether it’s flagging spots that need improvements or highlighting areas that are already working well.

Household Travel Survey Underway

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), in partnership with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and the Greater Madison MPO, has launched the National Household Travel Survey. This survey collects valuable data on how, when, and why people travel. Whether you drive, take public transit, bike, walk, or don’t travel at all, your input will help decision-makers improve safety, reduce congestion, and make transportation more accessible nationwide.

The survey is currently underway and will continue through November 2025. Households are selected through a scientific process, and those chosen will receive details by mail. Participation is voluntary, and all responses are confidential, with results reported only in summary form.
