Active Transportation Plan for Dane County

We’ve kicked off work on a new Active Transportation Plan for Dane County, which will replace the 2015 Bicycle Transportation Plan. The updated plan will outline strategies and recommendations to make it safer and easier for people to walk, bike, and roll—including those using mobility devices—throughout the county.

As part of the planning process, we invited community members to share feedback through a short survey and an interactive commenting map, identifying areas that need improvement or are working well and could serve as models elsewhere. Our team is analyzing responses to help shape the plan, and the raw survey results from 3,400+ participants are now available as a resource for planning staff and local leaders:

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.
