Pedestrian and Bicycle Planning
TJPDC supports those who travel using foot power on our roads, trails, and public spaces with a variety of efforts. We include the needs of walkers and cyclists in all of our transportation plans including:
We also perform tasks specific to these modes such as:
The Jefferson Area Bicycling and Walking Advisory Committee (JABAWAC)
met for a number of years to get plans and policies in place to support
biking and walking. The committee was successful in developing a regional
pedestrian bicycle and greenways plan that has been adopted in nearly
every locality in the PDC, and helpful in getting VDOT to change funding
policies so that implementation of the plan is much more likely. Two members
of JABAWAC were placed on the Community
Mobility Committee and CHART
has a bike/ped representative. Together with staff, they help keep the
needs of walkers and cyclists on the table at transportation planning
Local Motion--Active Living in Charlottesville and AlbemarleIn October of 2007, the City of Charlottesville and Albemarle County came together with several community partners to kick off Local Motion, a new campaign to get people off the couch and moving. Local Motion supports people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities to be physically active while taking advantage of our community's assets - including parks, trails, schools yards, playgrounds and sidewalks.
