Why is This Important?

X

Safety has several different meanings to people that walk and bike. To one person, "safety" may mean they feel more comfortable biking where motor vehicle volumes are low and no one is texting while driving. Another may think of safety in terms of street lighting at night, shorter pedestrian crosswalks, and level sidewalks without cracks. By understanding how safe people perceive they are in their own communities and why they feel that way, MnDOT is better able to anticipate and fulfill the needs of communities where they plan and complete projects.

WHAT WE ARE DOING

MnDOT works with federal, state, and local partners towards the Minnesota GO Vision to provide a "multimodal transportation system [that] maximizes the health of people, the environment, and our economy." Improving access to safely, conveniently, and easily walk and roll is critical in addressing all three of those topics. Through public engagement MnDOT listens to walking and bicycling needs in all parts of Minnesota to inform plan priorities (Statewide Bicycle System Plan and MN Walks), policies (Complete Streets), design (Bicycle Design Manual and Road Design Manual), and research (Rural Pedestrian Research and the Bicycle and Pedestrian Counting Initiative). These documents and related non-motorized traffic data assist MnDOT in developing facilities that are preferred, safe and convenient. This leads to improved prioritization to make bicycling and walking easier and more comfortable travel options.
