“Bike projects are relatively fast and inexpensive to build and are environmentally sustainable; they reduce travel costs, dramatically improve safety and public health, and reconnect citizens with their communities.”
Ray LaHood U.S. Secretary of Transportation
![Page 42: La Crosse Bike Summit March 2010](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051817/548334d0b47959140d8b497e/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
“To set this approach in motion, we have formulated key recommendations for state DOTs and communities:
• Treat walking and bicycling as equals with other transportation modes.
• Go beyond minimum design standards. • Collect data on walking and biking trips. • Set a mode share target for walking and bicycling.
Now this is a start, but it’s an important start. These initial steps forward will help us move forward even further.”
Ray LaHood U.S. Secretary of Transportation

it’s the only thing that ever has. — Margaret Mead
