SUMMARY

In 2012, the League of American Bicyclists ranked Arkansas 50th in the nation for bicycle-friendliness. In response, the governor of Arkansas requested that a technical advisory committee be formed to update the state’s 14-year-old Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. Members included the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) and Arkansas Department of Health (ADH). The plan now allows for better communication with communities, a more cohesive planning process, and a strategic approach to making environmental changes.
