Bicycle & Pedestrian Plan
Introduction
This document is the planning and design manual for pedestrian and bicycle transportation in Oregon. It is published by the Oregon Bicycle and Pedestrian Program and was adopted by the Oregon Transportation Commission on June 14, 1995. The standards and designs shown in the plan are ODOT standards used on State Highway projects. These standards meet or exceed national standards as outlined in AASHTO (American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials) documents, the ADAAG (Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines) and other documents. These standards are recommended but not required for use by local jurisdictions in Oregon.
