Biking and Walking

Bicycle Transportation Plan
The Massachusetts Bicycle Transportation Plan (2008) provides a comprehensive inventory of existing on-road and off-road bicycle facilities, including shared use paths, projects in the pipeline, and long-term proposals. A 740-mile, seven-corridor Bay State Greenway (BSG) is recommended along with an implementation strategy as well as other programmatic enhancements and interagency initiatives.

Pedestrian Transportation Plan
The Massachusetts Pedestrian Transportation Plan (1998) noted that Massachusetts is a walking state. Approximately 10.5% of all Massachusetts trips are walking trips, 44% higher than the national average and the fourth highest walking trip-share of any state. The Plan further noted that walking is key to a successful multimodal transportation system, contributes to community quality of life, and enhances personal wellbeing.
