Recognizing the important role non-motorized transportation plays in our region's transportation system, CATS has deepened its commitment to bicycle and pedestrian planning over the last decade. The 2020 RTP was the first plan to commit funding for bicycle and pedestrian facilities and the plan update increases the level of funding. The update also calls for a regional bicycle and pedestrian plan to be developed as part of the 2030 planning process. Task Force Comprised of representatives from municipalities, advocacy groups, the business community and transportation service providers, the task force steers CATS' work on bicycle and pedestrian issues.
All meetings are open to the public and input is encouraged.
Planning Assistance CATS is a resource for planners, implementers, government officials and citizen advocates who are working to accommodate and promote walking and cycling in their communities. Our webpages include a regional directory, a bicycle planning slideshow, task force information, links to other resources and more. Technical Training CATS holds the biannual Soles and Spokes Conference to highlight best practices and explore regional issues. In 2000, the conference also included two days of technical training on bicycle and pedestrian facilities. CATS is committed to continuing to provide targeted training opportunities for planners and implementers of bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
