ADVOCATES DELIVER BIKE/PED STRATEGIES/METRICS TO US DOT

* Build livable communities by building spaces where people have the option to walk and bike. We encouraged the Department to set a goal to increase bicycle mode share nationally to 5% by 2025 and pedestrian mode share nationally to 25% by 2025.
* Help create new projects that incorporate the needs of all people, not only people in cars. We urged regulators to implement a Complete Streets approach when designing safety measures..."
