Twenty year bicycle and pedestrian access master plan : model ordinances for the enhancement of bicycle and pedestrian access to transportation facilities.

The Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) has developed a 20-Year Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Access Plan that includes strategies that can be effective in improving bicycle and pedestrian access throughout the State. One of the strategies being explored is the application of land use regulations to encourage the development of bicycle and pedestrian facilities at the county or municipal level. MDOT is researching this issue to provide local planning representatives with tools that they can use in support of bicycle and pedestrian activity. This technical memorandum presents a model for developing land use regulations related to pedestrian and bicycle facilities. (Author/publisher)
