ODOT provides Bicycle and Pedestrian support to promote and facilitate the increased use of non motorized transportation. This support includes the development of facilities for pedestrians and bicyclists and public educational, promotional, and safety programs for using such facilities.

Design – The design of bicycle and pedestrian facilities is determined by State and local design standards and practices. ODOT adopted the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials’ (AASHTO) Guide to the Development of Bicycle Facilities as its manual. The AASHTO Guide is supplemented by online cost per mile and design guidance. 

Funding – Funds are available for transportation related bicycle and pedestrian facilities through the Transportation Enhancements program through both ODOT and the state’s 17 Metropolitan Planning Organizations. Transportation Enhancements, ODNR Trails Office.
