Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning in Rural Regions
Rural cities and towns are ideally sized to maximize bicycling and walking potential
• Average walking trip in US = 1.2 miles (50% are less than half mile)
• Average bicycling trip in US = 4 miles (60% are less than 2 miles)

• Long-distance bicycle touring routes
• Access to rural business districts and natural resources
• Making connections to regional routes and trails

Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning in Rural Regions
Other Reasons for Rural Bicycle/Pedestrian Planning:
• Health/livability
• Rural government easier to navigate
• Reduction of air pollution
• Reducing the need for high-cost transit/paratransit
• Slower pace of life
• Lower income areas

Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning in Rural Regions
Rural Complete Streets:
• Still need to provide for all modes of transportation
• Still need to be part a larger network
• Different needs than urban walkways and bikeways due to frequency, funding and length
• Different funding sources
• Complete streets are often a unfamiliar concept in rural areas

Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning in Rural Regions
State-owned highways:
• Often rural roadways are state-owned
• There is a need for more context sensitivity along rural state-owned highways.
Right: many rural highways show little change when they
pass through rural towns
