Bicycle and Pedestrian Program

Public Transportation Group (PTG)

Bicycle and Pedestrian Program

The Bicycle and Pedestrian Program focuses on improving the walk- and bike-ability of communities through planning assistance, dissemination of current best practices in facilities design, and training. Through PTG contracts with NC Department of Transportation’s (NCDOT) Division of Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation (DBPT), local government agencies benefit from these studies. The Program also provides direct support to DBPT for research; recommendations; policies and procedures manuals; safety education materials and curricula; training initiatives; and grants administration.

Safe Routes to School Program

Administration and management of the state’s Safe Routes to School program also allows the team to work directly with local government agencies, public health professionals, schools, law enforcement, and regional-level NCDOT staff.
