ADOT completed the Arizona Statewide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan in 2003 to address bicycle and pedestrian safety concerns throughout the state and to promote bicycling and walking as a viable transportation option. The 2003 Plan offered a long-term vision for a statewide system of interconnected and shared roadways and bicycle and pedestrian facilities to guide ADOT transportation decisions relating to bicycle and pedestrian travel, planning, and facility development. There have been several phases implementing programs and projects identified in the 2003 Plan. The purpose of the ADOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update is to reflect and respond to significant changes that have occurred over the past eight years.
