• Has not passed but directs state DOTs and MPOs to adopt policies and apply them to federally funded transportation projects.
• States that do not comply could have a small percentage of their transportation funds directed toward safety projects.

DOT 2010 Policy Statement
US DOT has formulated key recommendations for state DOTsand communities:
• Treat walking and bicycling as equals with other transportation modes.
• Ensure convenient access for people of all ages and abilities. • Go beyond minimum design standards. • Collect data on walking and biking trips. • Set a mode share target for walking and bicycling. • Protect sidewalks and shared-use paths the same way
roadways are protected (for example, snow removal) • Improve non-motorized facilities during maintenance projects.

State Focus
“As the demand for populous, walkable
neighborhoods also matures in Ohio,
there will be a growing need to fund
“complete streets.”

Preparing for the Future
Over the coming decades, more people will walk, bike and ride mass
transit to reach jobs and essential services. Trends being driven by:• Changes in technology• Concerns about climate change/pollution (26% of CO2 from
transportation sources in Ohio) • Concerns about energy dependence• Fluctuations in energy costs• Aging populations (26% of Ohio population over 60 by 2030)• Obesity rates (30% of Ohio adults)• Tightening federal, state and local budgets , which will make it
increasingly difficult to add and maintain new infrastructure

Draft Policy Highlights
Not all streets and roads may need treatments to be complete.
• Many low-speed, low-volume residential streets can be considered complete because people and vehicles interact safely in the right-of-way.
• Other roads may have
limited current or projected
demand .
