1. FHWA Bicycle and Pedestrian Program
Hi I’m Wayne Emington Design & Projects Engineer for the Maine Division of FHWA
Young, From Away, Works for the Federal Government
Went to College at the same school as Tom Brady so I do have that going for me.
I work for the Federal Highway Administration, but were not just about highways
We work closely with state and local partners
Conduct Research
Publish Guides
Manage Field Studies
Share Noteworthy Designs
Develop Tools that lead to better and safer walking & biking facilities
Our goal is to increase connectivity and provide safe transportation options for people of all ages and abilities

2. Strategic Agenda for Pedestrian and Bicycle Transportation
National goals  FHWA Activities
Achieve Safe, Accessible, Comfortable, and Connected Multimodal Networks in Communities Throughout the U.S.
Improve Safety for People Walking & Bicycling.
Promote equity throughout the transportation planning, design, funding, implementation, and evaluation process.
Get More People Walking and Bicycling.
Sam asked me to talk about a couple of the transportation resources FHWA has recently released today, and I wanted to talk about the Strategic Agenda for Pedestrian and Bicycle Transportation first.
September 2016
Inform the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) pedestrian and bicycle activities for the next 3 to 5 years
organized around four goals: (1) Networks, (2) Safety, (3) Equity, and (4) Trips.
The Strategic Agenda will inform future investments, policies, and partnerships
Achieve an 80 percent reduction in pedestrian and bicycle fatalities and serious injuries in 15 years and zero pedestrian and bicycle fatalities and serious injuries in the next 20 to 30 years.
Increase the percentage of short trips represented by bicycling and walking to 30 percent by the year 2025.

3. Guidebook for Developing Pedestrian and Bicycle Performance Measures
Highlights data requirements and examples of communities currently using the measures.
Documents ways to measure walking and bicycling investments, activity, and impacts.
Guidebook for Developing Pedestrian and Bicycle Performance Measures
March 2016
Intended to help communities develop performance measures that can fully integrate pedestrian and bicycle planning in ongoing performance management activities.
Highlights a broad range of ways that walking and bicycling investments, activity, and impacts can be measured and documents how these measures relate to goals identified in a community's planning process.
Discusses how the measures can be tracked and what data are required, while also identifying examples of communities that are currently using the respective measures in their planning process.

4. Bike Network Mapping Idea Book
June 2016
This resource highlights ways that different communities have mapped their existing and proposed bicycle networks. It shows examples of maps at different scales, while also demonstrating a range of mapping strategies, techniques, and approaches. Facility types represented on the respective maps and legends are each different because they represent a community’s unique context and needs.
It is intended to serve as a resource as communities work to identify, plan, and improve their bicycle networks.
A first step to achieving connected networks is to document where bicycling infrastructure currently exists. It is also essential to establish a vision for the future network. This vision is often captured in the form of a map and it’s developed as part of a local planning process that includes opportunities for public participation and input.

5. Incorporating On-Road Bicycle Networks into Resurfacing Projects
Focuses on providing bicycle facilities as a part of resurfacing projects.
Demonstrates how communities can create and expand bikeway networks by including bikeways as a part of other projects.
Highlights best practices from different communities.
Incorporating On-Road Bicycle Networks into Resurfacing Projects
March 2016
This document is not intended to be a design guide, but rather to highlight the reasons for providing bicycle facilities when resurfacing roadways and to provide methods and techniques for doing so.

6. Separated Bike Lane Planning and Design Guide
Outlines planning & design considerations for separated bike lanes.
Details intersection design information, turning movement operations, signalization, signage, and on-road markings.
Case studies highlight best practices and lessons learned throughout the document.
Separated Bike Lane Planning and Design Guide
May 2015
The Guide consolidates lessons learned from practitioners designing and implementing separated bike lanes throughout the U.S.
It attempts to capture the current state of practice, while still recognizing that our understanding of this facility type is still evolving and that there is a need for design flexibility.
To encourage continued development and refinement of techniques, the guide identifies specific data elements to collect before and after implementation to enable future analysis across facilities in different communities.

7. Guide for Maintaining Pedestrian Facilities for Enhanced Safety
Provides guidance for maintaining pedestrian facilities to increase safety and mobility.
Discusses construction techniques to reduce future maintenance.
Provides an Overview of Pedestrian Maintenance Programs in the US based on a review of over 50 communities.
Guide for Maintaining Pedestrian Facilities for Enhanced Safety
October 2013
Great gift for your friendly neighborhood public works director
provides guidance for maintaining pedestrian facilities with the primary goal of increasing safety and mobility.
The Guide addresses the needs for pedestrian facility maintenance; common maintenance issues; inspection, accessibility, and compliance; maintenance measurers; funding; and construction techniques to reduce future maintenance.

8. Questions?
We're challenging you to ask what you can do to help communities measure and visualize how well a project increases connectivity for all residents and be a thought leader for solutions that connect Point A to Point B, without forgetting the points and people in between.“
- Secretary Anthony Foxx
