C. Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning

MPO Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) Meeting · 2026-06-03 · agenda_item

The Pasco County MPO is planning to develop a network of bicycle and pedestrian facilities, focusing on user safety. This initiative includes finalizing an Active Transportation Plan, which is scheduled for completion between July 2026 and June 2028. The plan will guide the implementation of bicycle and pedestrian projects, including evaluating trail crossings, coordinating regional projects, and addressing hazardous walking conditions near schools and high-crash areas. Additionally, the MPO will conduct a pilot study around middle schools to document current conditions and prioritize safety improvements. This project will involve planning, design, and potential construction phases for non-motorized transportation enhancements. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas such as engineering, design, site preparation, and landscaping could find opportunities by engaging early with the Pasco MPO and its partners.
