Why a Regional Bicycle & Pedestrian Study?


To establish a comprehensive 
vision and strategies for bikeway 
and pedestrian 
accommodations that enhance 
mobility through connectivity 
and accessibility, improved 
safety, and quality of life.


                                     nashvillempo.org
Regional Study: Purpose & Objectives
 Provide a comprehensive inventory of 
 existing and planned bicycle and 
 pedestrian facilities. 
 Demonstrate how improving walking and 
 bicycling connectivity increases individual 
 mobility, enhances transit options, and 
 promotes active living.
 Recommend policy and funding strategies 
 for the Regional Transportation Plan.
 Serve as a framework for identifying and 
 selecting bicycle/pedestrian projects for 
 the Regional Transportation Plan.
 Provide guidance for engineering, 
 education, enforcement, encouragement, 
 and evaluation activities to help improve 
 the safety of walking and bicycling.
                                                nashvillempo.org
What We Learned – Potential Demand

The proximity of land uses such as 
residential housing, employment, 
shopping, schools, transit, parks, and 
other activities influence walking and 
bicycle travel demand.

The Nashville Regional Non‐Motorized 
Model accounts for eight trip types for 
both walk & bicycle travel:

‐ School            ‐ Shop
‐ Work              ‐ Recreation
‐ Transit (to)      ‐ Transit (from)
‐ Errand            ‐ Parking (CBD)




                                           nashvillempo.org
What We Learned – Safety Analysis


•   2,076 reported crashes within
    the MPO between 2003-2007
•   107 resulted in a fatality (99
    pedestrian & 8 cyclist)

High Crash Corridors include:
• Nolensville Road
• Dickerson Pike
• Murfreesboro Road
• West End Ave
• Charlotte Ave

                                     These data are for planning purposes only
                                     and are protected by USC 409.




                                                                                 nashvillempo.org
What We Learned – Health Analysis


             There is a strong link
             between the lack of
             physical activity and health
             (e.g. heart disease, obesity,
             and other chronic
             conditions).

             Research has also shown 
             certain population groups 
             have a higher disparity.  These 
             groups include:

             ‐ Low Income
             ‐ Minority
             ‐ Older Adults (over 65)

The Future of Transportation Planning

  Future Mandates
     Transportation projects will be held accountable for 
     impact on personal health as they are already held 
     accountable for impact on environmental health (air and 
     water quality).
  Wide‐Spread Adoption of Complete Streets Concept 
     Transportation projects will be required to provide 
     transportation choices that include active transportation 
     and serve all ages/ability levels of users.

Session 20: Incorporating Health into Trans. Planning at the Regional and State Levels

  • 1. Mayor Karl Dean, Chairman Incorporating Health in Regional Transportation Planning Leslie A. Meehan, AICP Pro Walk/Pro Bike September 14, 2010
  • 2. Nashville Area MPO City of Brentwood City of Fairview Regional Transportation Authority City of Franklin Metropolitan Transit Authority City of Gallatin Franklin Transit Authority City of Goodlettsville City of Hendersonville Murfreesboro Public Transportation City of LaVergne Metro Nashville Airport Authority City of Lebanon TN Dept of Environment & Conservation City of Millersville Federal Highway Administration City of Mt. Juliet City of Murfreesboro Federal Transit Administration City of Portland Town of Smyrna City of Spring Hill City of Springfield City of White House Metropolitan Nashville Rutherford County Sumner County Williamson County Wilson County Tennessee DOT Greater Nashville Regional Council nashvillempo.org
  • 3. Growing Issues to Address Unmanageable Congestion Longer Travel Times & Trip Lengths Increasing Energy Consumption / Costs Declining Air & Water Quality Aging Population/ Dispersed Families Worsening Personal Health / Increasing Costs Lost Habitat / Natural Areas Unsustainable Costs/ Revenue Sources Lack of Housing Choice nashvillempo.org
  • 4. How Should We Invest in  Our Future? nashvillempo.org
  • 5. Three Major Policy Initiatives #1 A Bold, New Vision  for Mass Transit #2 Support for Active Transportation &  Walkable Communities #3 Preservation & Enhancement of Strategic  Roadways nashvillempo.org
  • 6. #2 Support for Active Transportation and Walkable Communities nashvillempo.org
  • 8. Why a Regional Bicycle & Pedestrian Study? To establish a comprehensive  vision and strategies for bikeway  and pedestrian  accommodations that enhance  mobility through connectivity  and accessibility, improved  safety, and quality of life. nashvillempo.org
  • 9. Regional Study: Purpose & Objectives Provide a comprehensive inventory of  existing and planned bicycle and  pedestrian facilities.  Demonstrate how improving walking and  bicycling connectivity increases individual  mobility, enhances transit options, and  promotes active living. Recommend policy and funding strategies  for the Regional Transportation Plan. Serve as a framework for identifying and  selecting bicycle/pedestrian projects for  the Regional Transportation Plan. Provide guidance for engineering,  education, enforcement, encouragement,  and evaluation activities to help improve  the safety of walking and bicycling. nashvillempo.org
  • 10. What We Learned – Potential Demand The proximity of land uses such as  residential housing, employment,  shopping, schools, transit, parks, and  other activities influence walking and  bicycle travel demand. The Nashville Regional Non‐Motorized  Model accounts for eight trip types for  both walk & bicycle travel: ‐ School ‐ Shop ‐ Work ‐ Recreation ‐ Transit (to) ‐ Transit (from) ‐ Errand ‐ Parking (CBD) nashvillempo.org
  • 11. What We Learned – Safety Analysis • 2,076 reported crashes within the MPO between 2003-2007 • 107 resulted in a fatality (99 pedestrian & 8 cyclist) High Crash Corridors include: • Nolensville Road • Dickerson Pike • Murfreesboro Road • West End Ave • Charlotte Ave These data are for planning purposes only and are protected by USC 409. nashvillempo.org
  • 12. What We Learned – Health Analysis There is a strong link between the lack of physical activity and health (e.g. heart disease, obesity, and other chronic conditions). Research has also shown  certain population groups  have a higher disparity.  These  groups include: ‐ Low Income ‐ Minority ‐ Older Adults (over 65) nashvillempo.org
  • 13. What We Learned – Public/ Stakeholder Input Potential Solutions Facilities Connectivity Awareness, Support, & Collaboration Policies & Programs Mapping & Information Education & Enforcement nashvillempo.org
