Bicycling and walking is a rapidly growing mode of transportation. What can the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) do to improve conditions along our roadways? It’s TxDOT’s policy to consider bicyclists in the development of transportation projects, as part of design, construction and maintenance of state roadways and in the development of federally funded transportation projects.

Biking and walking are clean, low impact modes of travel that have a variety of health, social and environmental benefits. These alternative modes to transportation can help reduce vehicle traffic on the roads and help address Texas’ local transportation challenges
