New Visions Bicycle & Pedestrian Action Plan Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation – Bicycle and pedestrian travel is vital to the region’s public health, transportation, and the economy. Encouraging bicycle and pedestrian travel is a socially, economically, and environmentally responsible and healthy approach to improving the performance of our transportation system. Possible bicycle/pedestrian related improvements will be considered from the perspective of developing a system – not just based on whether a particular facility is currently used. That system of sidewalks, bike lanes, and trails will encourage safe bicycle and pedestrian use and will increase accessibility.

Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC), formerly known as the Bicycle and Pedestrian Task Force (Bike/Ped Task Force), was established as part of the original New Visions process. The BPAC includes representatives from various state departments, counties, towns, cities and villages, as well as local and statewide advocates and groups. BPAC meetings are open to the public and new people are added to the listserv weekly. The BPAC meets monthly to discuss bicycle and pedestrian issues in the Capital District. The Task Force deals with issues ranging from public education to project programming and facility planning. Members provide guidance on Community and Transportation Linkage Planning Program projects and other local and state bicycle and pedestrian related improvements throughout the region. Updates, guidance and recommendations are provided to CDTC’s Planning Committee and Policy Board.

Yearly operating cost comparison: bicycle vs. vehicle Percentage of Average Daily Trips that could be Completed via Bicycle Source: PedBikeinfo.org; FHWA Why invest in bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure?

Trends: More people are walking and biking in the Capital Region! Capital District Pedestrian Counts CDTC has collected pedestrian counts data at several intersections in each of the 4 major cities since CDTA installed bike racks on a few buses in 2008 as a pilot. Due to their popularity, CDTA has installed bike racks on all of their buses. The City of Albany collects bicycle data biannually and continues to demonstrate an increase in bicycles on their roads.

Capital Region Bike Rack Program Year Number of organizations7730 Number of bike racks Dollar value of all racks$50,000$36,531$21,000 Number of parking spaces CDTC conducted a Bike Share demonstration in Schenectady, Saratoga Springs, Troy and Albany in July-August 2014 CDTC launched a bicycle safety education campaign in 2009

CDTC has distributed over 20,000 trail maps since 2004 CDTC has funded over 80 Linkage studies, including the Albany Bicycle Master Plan, the Albany Bike Share Feasibility Study, Watervliet Bicycle Master Plan, Schenectady Urban Bike Route Master Plan, and Altamont Pedestrian & Bicycle Master Plan

Key Recommendations: Complete regionally significant trails such as the Zim Smith, Patroon Creek Greenway and Mickey Mahar trails. Research alternative funding sources for bicycle and pedestrian projects. Study the economic impact of trails and other bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure in the Capital Region. Develop a regional bicycle suitability map.
