egional Active Transportation Plan – participate and comment!

The Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC) has just begun a long anticipated update to their Active Transportation Plan.  The Plan will provide the basis for future regional investments in walking and biking throughout the County.

As a way to provide public comments, suggestions, likes and dislikes, in an easy to use format, we’ve developed an on-line interactive map tool.  By clicking here you can pull up a county map and locate any particular places, routes, obstacles, safety concerns, etc. on which to make your comments. With your help, we hope to determine the best strategies and projects to make active transportation a more reliable and safe travel option for any type of trip.

We’re also hosting a series of events around the county October 22-24:
