Final
Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian
Plan
On December 17, 2003, the Contra
Costa Transportation Authority adopted
its first ever Countywide Bicycle
and Pedestrian Plan. The Authority
has designed the CBPP to outline
bicycle and pedestrian needs for
Contra Costa; refine the Authority’s
goals and strategies as they apply
to bicycling and walking; encourage
local efforts to improve the environment
for bicycling and walking in the
communities of Contra Costa; and
spur greater interest in and support
for bicycling and walking generally.
The CBPP establishes five goals:
1. Expand, improve, and maintain
facilities for bicycling and walking
2. Improve safety for bicyclists
and pedestrians
3. Encourage more people to bicycle
and walk
4. Support local efforts to encourage
walking and bicycling
5. Plan for the needs of bicyclists
and pedestrians
For each goal, the CBPP outlines
policies and actions to achieve
these goals. The Authority will
use the goals, policies, and actions,
as well as the other material in
the cbpp, in its efforts to support
bicycling and walking in Contra
Costa. Local jurisdictions are encouraged
to embrace these goals, too.
The Final CBPP also outlines:
