DelDOT is a central leader and coordinator of bicycle-related policy, programs, and infrastructure. Currently no such plan exists and there is a recognized need to focus and formally coordinate the widespread efforts toward making Delaware more bicycle friendly. This statewide plan will work with stakeholders and the public to establish a vision for bicycling in Delaware and to propose solutions to identify key issues in an effort to make bicycling safe, convenient, efficient, and comfortable. Some possible outcomes of this process include: revisions to the design manual that would, for example, enable certain types of facilities that are not authorized currently under Delaware policy; improved coordination toward shared goals among the divers stakeholders; increased clarity and transparency in bicycle facility planning and development processes; and better measurement and evaluation programs. The final product will be a Statewide Bicycle Policy Plan.
