1 Assess the demand and potential

The first step is to understand the current and future demand for active transportation in your area. You can use data sources such as surveys, census, travel diaries, or GPS tracking to identify the origin, destination, mode, frequency, and purpose of trips. You can also use tools such as geographic information systems (GIS) or network analysis to map the potential for active transportation based on factors such as population density, land use, accessibility, connectivity, and topography.

Assessing active transportation demand relies on surveys, census, travel diaries, and GPS tracking. These sources unveil trip details, such as origin, destination, mode, frequency, and purpose. Complementing this, GIS and network analysis factor in population density, land use, accessibility, connectivity, and topography, mapping potential routes and highlighting areas with high demand. This integrated approach guides infrastructure improvements, enhancing accessibility and promoting sustainable transportation, envisioning a future where active mobility is not just accommodated but actively encouraged.

2 Evaluate the existing conditions and gaps

The next step is to evaluate the existing conditions and gaps in your active transportation network. You can use methods such as field observations, audits, or inventories to assess the quality, safety, and comfort of the infrastructure, facilities, and services for active transportation. You can also use indicators such as level of service, level of traffic stress, or level of comfort to measure the performance and suitability of the network for different user groups and needs.

Settling a Strategic Urban Accessibility Plan (SUAP) is an easy way to assess the current Public Transportation and active mobility networks, i.e. sidewalks and cycle lanes. The steps of a SUAP are: Step 1: identify the key Points of Interest (POIs) within the city. Step 2: Know Your Inhabitants since accessibility is not a one-size-fits-all concept. It must cater to the diverse needs. Step 3: Ask questions about accessibility, e.g. What percentage of the population is less than a 10-minute walk from a health center? Step 4: Set Goals like I want that 90% of my population will be less than 10 minutes-walk of … Step 5: Analyze Measures to Improve Networks and Land Use. Step 6: Implement Measures. Step 7: Assess Your Goals' Performance.

Evaluate your active transportation network by employing methods like field observations, audits, and inventories. These tools assess the quality, safety, and comfort of infrastructure, facilities, and services. Conducting on-site evaluations helps identify existing conditions and gaps, informing targeted improvements. Utilize performance measures to gauge effectiveness, considering factors like connectivity, accessibility, and user satisfaction. This holistic evaluation ensures a comprehensive understanding, guiding enhancements to create a safer, more comfortable, and efficient active transportation network.

3 Identify the opportunities and priorities

The third step is to identify the opportunities and priorities for improving your active transportation network. You can use techniques such as stakeholder engagement, public consultation, or visioning to gather input and feedback from the community, users, and partners. You can also use criteria such as feasibility, cost-effectiveness, impact, or equity to rank and select the most promising projects and interventions.

Public consultation, through online surveys and community input, highlights specific needs like safer crosswalks and expanded bike lanes. Visioning workshops envision a network prioritizing safety and accessibility. To prioritize projects, the city assesses feasibility, cost-effectiveness, impact, and equity. Feasibility studies confirm crosswalk signals and bike lane expansions are viable. Cost-effectiveness evaluations align with budget constraints. Equity considerations ensure improvements benefit all.

4 Design the solutions and standards

The fourth step is to design the solutions and standards for your active transportation network. You can use best practices, guidelines, or manuals to plan the layout, dimensions, materials, and features of the infrastructure, facilities, and services for active transportation. You can also use principles such as universal design, complete streets, or green infrastructure to ensure that your network is inclusive, integrated, and sustainable.

envisioning a pedestrian-friendly street involves implementing complete streets principles. This entails planning layouts accommodating various users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and public transit. Universal design principles ensure inclusivity, considering diverse abilities and needs. To promote sustainability, incorporate green infrastructure, integrating natural elements like trees and green spaces. By following these standards, the network becomes a well-designed, inclusive, and sustainable environment, fostering a seamless coexistence of various modes of active transportation. It is important to reduce speeds of motor vehicles in the area of interest.

5 Implement the actions and programs

The fifth step is to implement the actions and programs for your active transportation network. You can use strategies such as phasing, funding, or partnerships to execute the projects and interventions that you have planned and designed. You can also use approaches such as education, promotion, or incentives to encourage and support the use and adoption of active transportation among the population.

Executing active transportation improvements involves strategic implementation. Employ phasing strategies, starting with high-priority projects and gradually expanding. Secure funding through grants or public-private partnerships to support these initiatives. To encourage adoption, implement education programs highlighting the benefits of active transportation. Promotional campaigns can showcase new infrastructure, while incentives like bike-sharing programs foster community engagement. By combining phased implementation, strategic funding, and public outreach, a city can successfully cultivate a culture of active transportation, ensuring sustainable and widespread adoption.

6 Monitor the outcomes and impacts

The sixth and final step is to monitor the outcomes and impacts of your active transportation network. You can use methods such as surveys, counts, or evaluations to collect and analyze data on the usage, satisfaction, and benefits of active transportation. You can also use tools such as indicators, dashboards, or reports to communicate and showcase the results and achievements of your network.

Beyond the already mentioned steps, I will do strategy involves: Leveraging geospatial data for in-depth analysis, considering factors like topography, safety, and environmental impact. Data analytics for real-time traffic patterns, collaborating with environmental experts to ensure sustainability, and employing smart technology for dynamic route adjustments based on changing urban dynamics. Collaborating with local communities ensures a nuanced understanding of needs, fostering inclusivity in active transportation planning. It includes the ongoing engagement with stakeholders to adapt strategies in response to evolving urban dynamics. This holistic approach will ensures a nuanced and adaptive active transportation network.
