2016 Workplan – Potential Action Items
5
Work with MPOs, counties and cities to adopt consistent bikeway terminology and attributes
Establish a statewide bikeway network Leverage connectivity to local and regional bikeway
networks Identify needs and gaps in bikeway connectivity Prioritize future bikeway investment Identify safety concerns and safety hot spots Adopt design guidelines that support safe facilities Review how staff considers bicycle
accommodations during all phases of project development
Develop training materials for staff Publish Bicycle safety guide Publish Handlebar hanger Update information and materials on TxDOT
website Develop Quarterly email newsletter and District
Bicycle Coordinator contact list Support for educational programs (ex: Please Be
Kind to Cyclists) Funding safety and education programs (ex: safe
passing distance, cell phone ban)
Develop materials for law enforcement education
Support statewide Bike to Work Day Develop statewide interactive bicycle map Support for efforts that quantify health and
economic impacts of walking and bicycling Fund Safe Routes to School projects: sidewalks
and bikeway infrastructure TxDOT Employer-based Transportation Demand
Management Program Develop annual safety briefing materials Develop guidelines for gathering pedestrian
and bicycle data (counts, identification of bikeways, etc.)
Purchase count equipment Develop statewide bikeway database Continued bike/pedestrian funding through the
Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP)/Surface Transportation Program (STP) Set-aside
Seek additional funding for bicycle accommodations (ex: Highway Safety Improvement Program)
Support bicycle program pilot programs

A Case for Action
The Houston Bike Plan is a transformative opportunity to...1. Provide a safer, more comfortable
environment for the growing number of people riding bicycles in Houston
2. Provide affordable access to opportunities
3. Improve community health and wellness
4. Compete with peer cities who are setting the bar
5. Benefit everyone, not just people who bike

No Way, No How
Strong &Fearless
4 Types of People Biking
Enthused &Confident
People in the Interested & Concerned category typically most attracted to bicycle facilities with higher comfort levels
Current network introduces enough gaps and high stress locations to limit frequent bicycle use to Strong & Fearless riders

• Vision formed…. The Route verte concept dates back to the late 1980s, when the key members of Vélo Québec were already articulating their plans for the future of cycling in Québec.
• Plan developed…. In 1992, Vélo Québec took advantage of its role as the host of the Conférence Vélo Mondiale, along with the celebration of its 25th anniversary, to publicly present the Plan du Québec cyclable et des corridors verts de l'an 2000.
Partnership established… In 1995, the Government of Québec announced that it would collaborate with Vélo Québec on the planning and construction of the Route verte, investing $88.5 million over ten years to develop a bikeway over 4,000 kilometres linking all parts of Québec.
• Partnership nurtured… This initiative requires a great deal of effort within the various regions as well as the involvement of several different ministries — work that is coordinated within the Government by the Québec ministry of transportation.
• Champion role formalized…Since 1995, Vélo Québec has overseen the development of the Route verte on behalf of the Government. It coordinates planning, interregional cooperation, communications and promotion of the initiative.
