Montgomery County Planning Commission

Bike Montco is Montgomery County’s outstanding plan to create on-road bike facilities. The plan addressed challenges of developing on-road facilities by using a new Level of Traffic Stress tool to identify best road segments for bike mobility; and by creatively partnering with PennDOT via PennDOT Connects and municipalities via county funding to install bike facilities on their roads.

The plan used an online “wikimap” and survey of citizens to learn bicycling habits, well-used routes, and obstacles to biking. Bike Montco focuses on a carefully selected on-road network and relies on the county government to lead implementation.
