INSPIRATION VISION + GOALS FOR AN ACTIVE FUTURE

LANCASTER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN

What is the lancaster active transportation plan? The Lancaster Active Transportation Plan (ATP) is a collaborative effort by the County, City of Lancaster, and Lancaster Inter-Municipal Committee (LIMC). The process was led by staff and two steering committees to create a truly integrated effort to change culture and create great places. This report is the reflection of that effort with clear action items tied to a central goal. Each section of this plan illustrates the journey to weave together a collection of five regional projects that delicately change culture while preserving character. The County, City, and LIMC are setting the bar for how great planning can and will refocus auto-centric design that interferes with the freedom to walk or bike as forms of travel and recreation. As you explore and navigate through this plan, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see each of the five projects below represented by a key symbol on the upper left corner on pages relevant to that project.

SUMMER 2017

L ancaster ATP Vision Statement Developed before any walking audits or bike infrastructure suggestions, the vision and goals set the stage for creating active travel opportunities. Active travel (or transportation) is simply another way of saying human-powered transportation. Walking and bicycling are modes of choice and modes of necessity for daily commuting. These two modes are also forms of recreation that stimulate economies, create a sense of place, and attract new families. Whatever the purpose - an active transportation network does not happen by accident, It it founded in a vision. This vision is the cornerstone for collaboration and action by public and private entities across the County. After careful consideration by the two steering committees and staff, the Lancaster ATP vision statement came to life.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lancaster is a vibrant, diverse, and active community where people of all ages and abilities can move safely and conveniently through an interconnected network of pedestrian, bicycle, and transit facilities that promote healthy

living and economic vitality.â&#x20AC;?

LANCASTER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN

L ancaster Active Transportation Plan Goals With the vision serving as the cornerstone, the goals of the plan provide additional support for crafting policy, programming, and network recommendations that will be layered throughout short-, mid-, and long-term action items to begin realizing the full potential of the positive impacts of an active transportation system. The goals illustrated below apply to each of the five core components of the plan and will drive decisions now and in the future.

Planning Process The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Five-Plans-In-Oneâ&#x20AC;? Lancaster Active Transportation Plan was conceived in December 2015, with robust public input starting in October 2016 and the final plan adoption in September 2017. The participatory planning process involved over one thousand participants! The project began with the formation of two Steering Committees, the Visioning and Technical Advisory Committee, formed of local jurisdiction staff, local stakeholders, related active transportation organizations, and citizen volunteers. The Technical Advisory Committee was formed to guide and review technical elements, such as the greenway feasibility studies, interim deliverables, and final report. The project team sought public input throughout the planning process via regular website updates, community meetings, an online survey, and focus groups. In addition, the team gathered public input at local events and pop-up survey stations. The first in-person input opportunity was at the Lancaster Tree Lighting in November 2016. A large kick-off festival occurred in spring 2017, attracting almost 100 attendees. The project team, staff, and committees convened multiple times during the charrette week to craft and refine recommendations. A second round of public engagement and meetings occurred with the release of the draft plan.

LANCASTER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN

Quantifying an “Active, Healthy Community” A well-designed active transportation network will encourage a shift from energy-intensive modes of travel (i.e. automobiles) to human-powered modes of transportation. The study team evaluated and quantified the estimated increase in bicycling and walking trips, the estimated increase in hours of physical activity, and the annual savings resulting from reduced healthcare costs. The detailed analysis memo is included in Appendix C of this plan which includes high and low estimates. The graphics on the following pages illustrate median estimates. As a math equation, the formula for illustrating Active Transportation benefits to the community is simple:

THIS PLAN COULD LEAD TO

If Lancaster County implements all of the recommended bicycle and pedestrian projects, it could experience between 1.9 and 5.4 million miles walked and biked per year. That’s a potential of over 2.4 million vehicle-miles reduced. The most readily-identifiable benefits exist in the ability to increase transportation options and access to activity centers. While money rarely changes hands, real savings can be estimated from the reduced costs associated with congestion, vehicle crashes, road maintenance, and household vehicle operations.

By multiplying the reduction of vehicle miles traveled by multipliers for traffic congestion, vehicle collisions, road maintenance, and vehicle operating costs, monetary values were assigned to the transportation-related benefits.

Transportation Benefits + Health Benefits + Environmental Benefits = Total Benefits The primary inputs into the health component of the Benefit Impact Model derived from 2011-2015 ACS journey to work data, 2009 National Household Travel Survey, and historic Safe Routes to School data. Existing bicycle and walking commute data was multiplied by national trip purpose ratios to generate mode split data that includes all trip purposes. This balanced mode split data was indexed against the mode split data of the five aspirational counties and multiplied by various health factors.

Implementation of the recommended projects could result in between

191,000 and 773,000 more hours of physical activity per year compared to current levels of physical activity. This increase in physical activity means that between 2,000 and 6,000 more residents will be meeting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidelines for the minimum recommended number of hours of physical activity per day.

The estimated increase in active transportation trips corresponds to an WALKED PER YEAR annual savings from reduced vehicle emissions. Changes in hydrocarbon, particulate matter, nitrous oxides, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide were analyzed. In total, the replacement of motor vehicle trips with active transportation may result in an estimated of 38 ...enough to traveltrips across Pennsylvania 1,330range times to 44 million fewer pounds of CO2 emissions per year, and between 44,000 and 135,000 fewer pounds of other vehicle emissions.

Each pound of emissions was assigned an equivalent dollar amount based on how much it would cost to clean up the pollutant or the cost equivalent of how much damage the pollutant causes to the environment.

Let’s Do This! The next step in the process is simple, but requires vigilance: implement the Lancaster ATP to improve the quality of life for residents and visitors of the region. The plan is a road map - intended to be a living document - and will require monitoring and measuring success and challenges through collaboration of staff, key stakeholders, and the community.

FOUNDATION CURRENT STATE OF ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION

Current State of Active Transportation In L ancaster

Active Transportation is not a new concept to the communities of Lancaster. The County, Lancaster City, and Lancaster Inter-Municipal Committee have several previous planning efforts on record as well as a base of facilities, policies, and programs supporting the creation of places that are safe and comfortable to walk, bike, and access transit. Prior to initiating any planning process, it is necessary to uncover the layers of existing plans, data, and field conditions. Taking the pulse of the community and understanding perception is also critical. This is achieved by speaking with staff and the community to gauge interest, support, and barriers. Consistency is integral to successful planning. By summarizing and recording past actions supporting the creation of trails, bicycle facilities, and pedestrian connections, a consistent language is established for this plan, founded in active plans like the County’s Places2040 initiative. One of the key consistencies is the use of the transect. This context and setting diagram translates throughout the Active Transportation Plan to facilitate the application of recommendations in a consistent manner across several municipalities within the County. This section establishes a foundation for future planning and implementation by exploring:

• The County Transect, setting the foundations for design guidelines • Existing data illustrating implemented and future proposed 5bicycle facilities within the city • Existing data illustrating transit access, implemented trails and bicycle routes throughout the county, and proposed future facilities r dD

Goo

• A matrix of past plans consulted to establish a foundation for this planning process (a detailed matrix can be found in Appendix B) 10

L ancaster Transect

Lancasterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural beauty is evoked in the diverse landscapes and variety of land uses across the county. There are forestlands, wide tracks of agriculture, small towns with commercial centers, and larger towns, dotted across the county. These distinctive areas require customized design guidance to be sensitive to culture and context. The Lancaster Planning Commissions developed 7 transects to define these areas. The transects are used within the design guidelines and other sections of this plan to provide consistency throughout communities across the county.

SUMMER 2017

Existing Plans

To understand the existing planning efforts in Lancaster and provide a basis for new recommendations, 22 plans were reviewed. Many of the plans contained detailed descriptions or graphics of existing conditions or recommendations. The existing conditions discovered during the plan review were key areas of tourism and historical importance, while the recommendations were primary facility related. A visual summary of the plan review can be found on the maps on 2-10 and 2-11. A detailed chart of the visions, goals, and/or recommendations related to Active Transportation in Lancaster from existing plans can be found in Appendix B.

OPPORTUNITIES + CHALLENGES

Lancaster City

Historic Lancaster Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s road network is a combination of wide one-way streets with parking along both sides, narrow alleys streets, and major through-ways for north/south and east/west circulation. The one-way pairs with low volume provide an opportunity to adjust lane widths or repurpose travel lanes to add bicycle infrastructure. The alleys and low volume neighborhood streets create opportunities for special bike/walk alleys and boulevards to create a well connected network.

One-way streets with wide lanes are opportunities for repurposing space

Narrow alley streets are perfect for placemaking and bicycle routes

2-12 | Current State of Active Transportation

Diagonal stormgrates will not have to be replaced when implementing bicycle infrastructure

SUMMER 2017

Greater Lancaster Heritage Pathway (GLHP)

The Greater Lancaster Heritage Pathway will be a combination of on- and offroad facilities connecting parks on the west side of Lancaster City, continuing through the City, and providing an alignment along the “goat path.” The goat path’s wide right of way provides ample space for pedestrians, bicyclists, and plain sect buggies. The future path will need to weave around fields and pastures of farmers who have lease agreements with PennDOT to use the land along the goat path for their agricultural needs.

Vistas that contribute to the agricultural character of Lancaster will be celebrated and preserved

The future greenway will weave around fields and pastures, some fences may need to be slightly adjusted to provide space for a multiuse trail and buggy path

Existing Infrastructure provides safe, separated road crossings for goat path users

Connectivity at underpass and overpass crossings will need to be explored to provide spurs to adjacent destinations and incorporation into the county network of other trails and bicycle facilities

Current State of Active Transportation | 2-13

LANCASTER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN

OPPORTUNITIES + CHALLENGES

Engleside Trail

The abandoned rail bridge is the key which holds this alignment together and will provide the city with an additional connection to southern parks and county trails. The intersection just north of the river crossing currently has limited and unsafe pedestrian crossings and will need to be vetted to provide a design scenario that functions for all modes. A crossing of 272/222 should be explored to create a loop and connect the parks on the southern section of the Engleside Trail.

Existing infrastructure can be used to cross the Conestoga

The closed gas station property provides an opportunity for a minipark with a views to the Conestoga

2-14 | Current State of Active Transportation

Intersection will need to be redesign to accommodate trail users

SUMMER 2017

Northeast Greenway

The Northeast Greenway follows an abandoned rail alignment that connects downtown Lancaster to the Conestoga and will continue across and through Conestoga Pines Park. Highway 30 presents a barrier that will be explored for an undercrossing, however if not feasible, on-road connections will be created with safe bicycling facilities, sidewalks, and proper signage.

Working with property owners will be key to providing connectivity Feasibility of an undercrossing is tied to proper clearance heights for the road deck and trail users as well as the potential to achieve ADA accessible slopes for the greenway

This flat â&#x20AC;&#x153;path of preferenceâ&#x20AC;? can be used for the future trail alignment

Crossing the river will be achieved with the existing bridge and a new pedestrian bridge constructed near the crossing to Conestoga Pines

Current State of Active Transportation | 2-15

LANCASTER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN

OPPORTUNITIES + CHALLENGES

Lancaster County

The County is peppered with quaint towns and agricultural expanses that are primed for livability and bicycle tourism. Many pedestrian facilities in small towns are in poor condition, lacking safe crossing, and are further complicated by fast moving vehicles. Trail opportunities abound with rail lines, utility corridors, and riparian corridors that can support the development of greenways for both recreation and transportation. The countywide network can tie into short, local trails

There is ample evidence of active transportation desire and likely latent demand for improved facilities throughout the county

2-16 | Current State of Active Transportation

SUMMER 2017

Complete street tactics should be used to enhance comfort and safety in small towns and provide a sense of pride for residents

Standards for bicycle parking will elevate â&#x20AC;&#x153;end of tripâ&#x20AC;? facilities

Unmarked crossings and disconnected sidewalks are hazardous conditions for pedestrians

Driveway consolidation is a tool that can improve pedestrian connectivity and perception of safety

LISTENING COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT

LANCASTER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN

Listening, L ayering, and Distilling

Crafting recommendations that build momentum for improved livability via safe, healthy, and efficient transportation requires listening on multiple levels. From the beginning of the planning process through to the final recommendations, data collection and community input provide a better understanding of the current active transportation climate, the needs of bicyclists within the city, and the desires for improved trails that will connect people to places. Each of the points of input become a layer that, when distilled, reveal meaningful action steps to create great places. Places that are attractive, celebrate community, and spark creativity and economic prosperity. This section highlights key findings revealed through two drivers: data and people. Data driven analysis is an exploration of spatial information. Equity Modeling illustrates areas that are typically in need of active transportation facilities and programming due to economic and demographic factors. Demand Modeling displays density in origins and destinations. Level of Service for Pedestrians provides a quick visual representation of how well the sidewalk environment caters to people moving by foot. Thereby indicating if the areas in need (Equity) and areas of concentrated activity (Demand), require facility AND PLO DEM S improvements.

DRIVEN ANALYSIS

LIS

People driven analysis is critical in calibrating and understanding data driven models. Where models are limited by static data, people compose the true stories of past, present, and future needs. A combination of in-person interactions and selfdirected participation tactics were used through the process. Input was shared through meetings, focus groups, surveys, charrettes, and interviews to determine how an active transportation plan, bicycle network, and trails will support action items to create great places that people will write home PEOPLE about for generations to come.

BL TS

DATA DRIVEN ANALYSIS

SUMMER 2017

Equity Analysis

Safe, healthy, affordable, and convenient transportation options are not always available to the disadvantaged populations that need them most. A lack of high-quality walking, biking, and transit infrastructure can result in long, unhealthy, unaffordable, and/or dangerous travel for some of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most vulnerable populations. An uneven distribution of active transportation infrastructure can also result in health, safety, mobility, and economic benefits accruing to those who are more fortunate while increasing hardships for the populations in the region that are most vulnerable and disadvantaged. The equity analysis conducted during this planning process helps identify areas where making active transportation investments can have a big impact for children, older adults, low-income families, people of color, and people with limited English language abilities. These are combined to show overall hotspot in composite maps which are found on the following pages (individual maps and findings can be found in Appendix C). Equity is defined as trying to understand and give people what they need to enjoy full, healthy lives. These needs include access to jobs, housing, and critical services. Equality, in contrast, aims to ensure that everyone gets the same things in order to enjoy full, healthy lives. Working toward more equitable socioeconomic and health outcomes may mean that active transportation funding will need to be prioritized in areas with greater concentrations of disadvantaged population groups instead of being distributed equally based on geography. This model informed WHERE to recommend facilities and HOW to prioritize projects to create a more equitable environment.

The darker areas above are places the County should target for bicycle facilities, trails, and pedestrian improvements. The recommendations section includes a sample “mini plan” showing how townships can use a variety of facility types to create a more connected, safe, and comfortable walking and bicycling environment. This will be a model for the communities highlighted above to use the transect-appropriate design guidlines to build a more equitable Lancaster County.

facilities. The results of the Demand Analysis can be used to help identify areas in need of improved and new bicycle, pedestrian, transit, and trail facilities. Hot spots depict high concentrations of where people Live, Work, Play, Learn, and Access Transit. These trip generators (such as homes and workplaces) and trip attractors (such as shopping centers, parks, and trails) establish potential for walking and bicycling trips. A series of maps by individual category can be found in Appendix C. A composite demand map, shown to the right, is the result of overlaying each individual input. In Lancaster, this model correlates closely with the County Transect and landscape. Darker areas within the City of Lancaster radiate out toward the moderately dense township areas, while the lightest areas relate to the rural agricultural settings.

PLAY

Trails and parks are attractors and generators of walking and biking activity.

LEARN

Schools are a significant source of walking and biking by populations that either canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drive because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not old enough or are more likely to walk or bike for economic reasons.

TRANSIT

More than three-quarters of transit trips start or end with a walking trip.

WHY DOES THIS MAP MATTER? Hot spots on the map above illustrate nodes of connectivity that will be used to prioritize the expansion of the countywide greenway system, commuter routes, and touring routes. The demand areas are key placemaking opportunities for the County to focus on active transportation improvements that will serve both residents and visitors. Network recommendations will support economic development and community pride by increasing access to demand areas for daily activities and special interest trips. As the network grows it will support the promotion of Lancaster County as a bicycle tourism destination.

LANCASTER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN

Pedestrian Level of Service Analysis

A Pedestrian Level of Service (PLOS) analysis was conducted for Lancaster County. Similar to the Bicycle Level of Traffic Stress, the PLOS provides an objective, data-driven assessment of roadway comfort for pedestrians. The results of the model serve as an initial analysis of existing pedestrian facilities that helps identify gaps in the network that can lead to potential projects and their subsequent scoring in system-wide prioritization. Data collection and modeling details are discussed in Appendix C.

Level of Traffic Stress Analysis

Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) is a model used to quantify the user experience along and across the existing network of roadways and trails. LTS analysis was completed for Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and the City of Lancaster. LTS aims to describe the comfort level for a bicyclist of the existing roadway network and provides and provides an intuitive framework to describe the benefits of bicycle infrastructure. Data collection and modeling details are discussed in Appendix C.

Website

SOCIAL MEDIA

LancasterATP.com was launched at the start of the project in October 2016. The website link was distributed at all events and served as a primary portal to access the survey and Wikimap. The home page was routinely updated to encourage public participation at upcoming events. Meeting presentations, maps, and interim deliverables were posted to maintain continuous information sharing with the community.

3-10 | Community Needs Assessment

Interactive Map

The Wikimap remained open for 6 months; 493 unique visitors provided thoughts about the current state of active transportation and future needs throughout the county. Participants were asked to identify routes they like and currently use, routes they like but need improvements, routes they use but need improvements, and suggested new routes for both pedestrians and bicyclists. In addition to routes, participant were invited to identify barriers to walking and bicycling in Lancaster, where bicycle parking is needed, key destinations, and transportation hub opportunities. A summary of input is located on the adjacent page. Inputs were incorporated into the draft recommendations presented during the Charrette Week in April 2017.

Visioning + Technical Advisory Committee Two steering committees - Visioning and Technical Advisory - were formed to develop the vision statement and goals that would guide the planning process. Representatives from local advocacy groups, key decision makers, health professionals, business representatives, municipal staff, and interested citizens gathered throughout the planning journey to formulate five plans in one. These five plans are linked together by the common thread of the community to provide a united framework that fosters cooperation and builds momentum for implementation. While the Visioning Committee established high level guidance, the Technical Committee dug into the details of policy, network, and design guidance. Together, their efforts established a legacy of communication, collaboration, and activism that will continue beyond the adoption of this plan.

Type of Bicyclist in L ancaster Who Attended the Kick Off Event

38%

Highly Experienced Characterized by bicyclists that will typically ride anywhere regardless of roadway conditions or weather. These bicyclists can ride faster than other user types, prefer direct routes, and will typically choose roadway connections -- even if shared with vehicles -- over separate bicycle facilities such as shared use paths.

36%

Enthused and Confident This user group encompasses bicyclists who are fairly comfortable riding on all types of bikeways but usually choose low traffic streets or multi-use paths when available. These bicyclists may deviate from a more direct route in favor of a preferred facility type. This group includes all kinds of bicyclists such as commuters, recreationalists, racers, and utilitarian bicyclists.

29%

Interested but Concerned This user type comprises the bulk of the cycling population and represents bicyclists who typically only ride a bicycle on low traffic streets or multi-use trails under favorable weather conditions. These bicyclists perceive significant barriers to their increased use of cycling, specifically traffic and other safety issues. These people may become â&#x20AC;&#x153;Enthused & Confidentâ&#x20AC;? with encouragement, education, and experience.

No Way, No How Persons in this category are not bicyclists, and perceive severe safety issues with riding in traffic. Some people in this group may eventually become more regular cyclists with time and education. A significant portion of these people will not ride a bicycle under any circumstances.

LISTENING OUTCOMES: m a p c o m m e n t s

survey responses

• Most attendees were already bicyclists and in support of active transportation - perfect for network input and identifies a need to reach out to those who may not already bike, walk, or use transit throughout the planning process and into the future • Facilities need to serve both confident active transportation users and those who are interested but have concerns • The city bicycle network should connect residential areas with the core of downtown and the many cultural destinations throughout the city • The county network should be a combination of touring and commuter routes with a series of greenways that provide recreation and transportation benefits • The engleside greenway needs to safely connect into the city and respond to the context of the park • The northeast greenway alignment should be trail, and when on-road, be as separated as possible to serve users of all ages and abilities • The Greater Lancaster Heritage Pathway should connect with parks on the west side of the city • The Greater Lancaster Heritage goat path should be an experience that is more than just a path; preserve views and vistas

LANCASTER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN

Framework: Policies and Programs

Simply adding bicycle infrastructure alone doesn’t create a bicycle and pedestrian friendly community. Policy changes and programmatic efforts are an essential component of the “culture shift” to active transportation. Education, encouragement, enforcement, and promotional programs and policies enhance the walking and bicycling experience and can be cost effective complements to infrastructure investments. These types of programs help people learn how to use the roads in Lancaster County safely, whether traveling on foot, by bicycle, or in a car. The following strategies will help Lancaster be a safer, more educated, and more equitable walking and bicycling community where people of all ages and abilities feel comfortable choosing active transportation for any trip. The chapter is broken down into the following five subsections: • Active Transportation Programs • Pedestrian-Specific Programs • Bicycling-Specific Programs • Program Implementation Schedule • Program Summary Tables • Policy Audit + Recommendations 4-2 | Framework

SUMMER 2017

Active Transportation Programs Active Transportation programs benefit multiple user groups. Some are targeted towards pedestrians and bicyclists only while others may also encompass transit riders, drivers, or other groups. These programs typically have an education, encouragement, or enforcement focus. Beginning Driver Education

Media Campaign

Improving awareness of pedestrian, bicycle, and buggy traffic and increasing the knowledge of the rules of the road, shared responsibilities, and common behaviors helps to make a safer road environment for all users. These courses can also increase public acceptance of enforcement actions. Lancaster can help support the safety of all road users by supporting efforts to require pedestrian and bicycle-related training within local, private, and statewide driver education courses.

Lancaster County should partner with cities, boroughs, and townships to develop regional campaigns that address unsafe and illegal behaviors of motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, and buggy drivers. Theses campaigns will encourage mutual respect among all roadway users and foster active transportation.

Target Audience: All roadway users; may be more specific for targeted campaigns throughout the county.

Sample Programs: Bikes Belong Safety Campaign Best Practices; Road Respect (Utah); How we Roll (Columbus, OH); Heads Up Boulder: Mind the Crosswalk (Boulder, CO)

Target Audience: All roadway users; may be more specific for targeted campaigns throughout the county.

Sample Programs: Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Driver Education Video and Curriculum; Wisconsinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Share & Be Aware Driver Ed.

Open Streets Events

Police Training

The City of Lancaster hosted an Open Streets event in 2016 to engage people in walking, biking, and physical activity. The event temporarily opened a route of City streets exclusively to walking, biking, and other forms of active transportation, while supporting activities such as exercise classes, dance classes, music, food, games, and other attractions. These efforts should be expanded to other communities throughout the county and continued on a regular basis.

Strengthening the walking and biking information in police education courses and training will help officers improve public safety and enforce existing laws more effectively. Police training will enhance many other education and enforcement programs currently offered in Lancaster County.

Target Audience: All roadway users; may be more specific for targeted campaigns throughout the county.

Sample Programs: Traffic Enforcement or Bicyclist Safety Training Video (Chicago, IL); Watch for Me, NC (Raleigh, NC)

Target Audience: All enforcement officers, including any private enforcement officers such as campus police.

Sample Programs: Open Streets Project/Open Streets Guide; Cyclovia (Tucson, AZ).

A pop-up cycle track was incorporated into the 2016 Open Streets event in Lancaster City

Chicago Police Officers are required to take a bicycle and pedestrian safety course as part of their annual professional development program.

SUMMER 2017

Vision Zero: Crash Analysis & Reduction

Smart Trips

A multi-modal approach to crash reduction is a comprehensive safety program that includes establishing goals to reach Vision Zero, or zero traffic deaths. By developing a routine analysis for pedestrian and bicycle related crashes, other cities have been able to implement safety-driven, multi-modal enforcement programs along with strategic infrastructure changes. Adopting a Vision Zero policy and developing a strategic action plan will help Lancaster County and the City of Lancaster to launch a Vision Zero program.

This neighborhood-based program encourages public and active transportation through free bike/walk/transit kits, coupons to local businesses, educational newsletters, and collaborative community events. The program seeks to educate interested people on how to find a safe route to where they live, work, play and learn. Other communities that have launched a Smart Trips program have successfully reduced the number of Single Occupancy Vehicles (SOV’s).

Target Audience: All roadway users; may be more specific for targeted campaigns throughout the county. Sample Programs: NYC’s Vision Zero (New York City, NY); Targeted Multi-Modal Enforcement (Tucson, AZ); Denver’s Vision Zero Program (Denver, CO).

NYC reduced the speed limit of several residential streets to 25mph as a Vision Zero implementation strategy.

Target Audience: Residents of targeted communities and neighborhoods. Sample Programs: SmartTrips Program (St. Paul, MN); SmartTrips Program (Portland, OR), SmartTrips (Salt Lake City, UT); GoSMART (Triangle Area, NC).

SmartTrip coordinators in Salt Lake City routinely ride the S-Line streetcar to encourage more active transportation options.

LANCASTER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN

Pedestrian-Specific Programs These programs primarily benefit pedestrians and incorporate education, encouragement, and enforcement activities. Pedestrian Wayfinding

Walking School Bus

Well designed pedestrian wayfinding is one of the most fundamental elements of a welcoming and pleasant walking environment. Wayfinding schemes should include destinations, sign types, travel time, and/or distance where possible, and a plan for implementation. A cohesive and conspicuous wayfinding network will help pedestrians identify the best routes to key destinations. Efforts across the county should mimic and expand the wayfinding network in Lancaster City while also creating a unique brand and style for each individual community. Target Audience: Residents and visitors

The rate of children walking to school is at an all-time low and parents have become wary of allowing children to walk alone, primarily due to traffic concerns. Walking school buses help alleviate the fear - and time constraints for parents - associated with children walking to school. Parents can take turns leading the “bus”, which follows the same route every time and picks up children from their homes or designated “bus stops” at specific times. The program can be as informal as a few parents alternating to walk with their children, but often is led by the PTA or a local agency or organization. Communities within Lancaster County should work to identify schools and neighborhoods to pilot this program.

Sample Programs: Philadelphia, PA; Corolla, NC

Target Audience: Students and their parents Sample Programs: Walking School Bus Program (Columbus, MO)

Wayfinding signs in downtown Lancaster include maps that promote and identify key destinations within a walkable, two-mile radius.

4-6 | Framework

Kids and parents often feel more comfortable walking to school as a group.

SUMMER 2017

Park(ing) Day

Targeted Crosswalk enforcement

Park(ing) Day is an annual event that takes place around the world where neighborhood residents, artists, business owners, cities, counties, and others collaborate to temporarily transform parking spaces into small parklets as temporary public places for the day. Parklets are a form of tactical urbanism and can be a great way to showcase how public spaces can be transformed for different uses that foster active transportation. Lancaster City and other communities throughout the county should implement and encourage parklet and tactical urbanism activities.

Motorists who routinely fail to yield the right-of-way to pedestrians, as required by law, are unlikely to change their behavior if they perceive that there are no consequences to their actions. Hundreds of communities around the U.S. implement targeted crosswalk enforcement. In Las Vegas, for example, crossing decoys often wear seasonal costumes (such as a turkey at Thanksgiving, or a leprechaun in March) to earn greater media attention. While targeted crosswalk enforcement often results in citations, the greater impact comes through media publicity of the event to reinforce the importance of obeying pedestrian crossing laws.

Target Audience: Neighborhood residents, business owners, and visitors.

Target Audience: Drivers and bicyclists

Sample Programs: Official Park(ing) Day; Nashville, TN; Philadelphia, PA

Sample Programs: Las Vegas, NC; Back-to-School Crosswalk Stings (Shoreline, WA; Roseburg, OR; and Plymouth, MN)

The Bicycle Coalition in Philadelphia, PA organizes an annual park(ing) day event to coordinate several parklet and tactical urbanism demonstrations across the city.

Police officers dressed in costumes help to bring more awareness and attention to targeted crosswalk enforcement efforts.

Bicycling-Specific Programs These programs support efforts to educate and encourage cyclists, as well as gather information to quantify bikeway usage. Annual Bicycle User Counts

Classroom and On-Bike Training

Ongoing bicycle user counts provide important information used to approximate use and demand for facilities and programs. The National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project (NBPDP), a nationwide effort to provide a consistent model of data collection and ongoing data, states that â&#x20AC;&#x153;without accurate and consistent demand and usage figures, it is difficult to measure the positive benefits of investments in [bicycling], especially when compared to other transportation options such as the private automobile.â&#x20AC;? Implementation of automated data collection methods would allow for much more trend analysis and may help support more investment in the active transportation network across the county.

Bicycle safety and skills education in elementary and middle/ junior high schools can be an effective way to teach youth about bicycling safety and how to ride in a predictable, safe manner. These programs educate younger students about bicycling and other non-motorized transportation options that may go a long way in affecting their decision to choose bicycling for transportation and recreation later in life. Target Audience: Elementary and middle/junior high school students. Sample Programs: The Florida Traffic and Bicycle Safety Education Program; Bike Rodeo Program (Salt Lake City, UT).

Target Audience: County and city staff (planners and analysts). Sample Programs: National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project; Capital Area MPO (Raleigh, NC).

Seattle, WA has installed multiple bike counters throughout the city to monitor the progress towards achieving their higher bicycle mode share goals.

Bicycle Friendly Businesses

Bike Touring + Route Maps

Bicycle Friendly Business programs raise the profile of and show support for bicycling in a community, while also promoting local businesses and building a sense of community. The league of American Bicyclists recognizes businesses across the country that promote and encourage bicycling as an attractive and convenient form of transportation. Communities throughout the county should be encouraged to apply or continue to improve their existing standing. The are currently several business in Lancaster County that have been designated such as:

Lancaster County’s beautiful Amish countryside provides a unique and sought after backdrop for breathtaking bike touring. There are several organizations, such as Lancaster’s Bike Club, Discover Lancaster, and Intercourse Bike Works, that have designed specific routes for all skill levels. Lancaster County produces a bike map to help residents and visitors plan their biking trips. These resources need to be shared and coordinated in order to increase bicycle tourism in the county. Quarterly stakeholder meetings to discuss existing resources, new opportunities, and potential partnerships should be organized to improve communication.

• Dream Ride Projects (Gold) • Recumbent Cycles (Silver)

Target Audience: Current cyclists, potential cyclists and visitors.

• Borough of Elizabethtown (Silver)

Sample Programs: Florida Destination Cycling Tours (Bike Florida); Philadelphia, PA

• Cargas Systems (Bronze) • Lancaster City (Bronze) • Gretna Bike Shop (Bronze) • Lancaster General Health (Bronze) • Lemon Street Market (Bronze)

Target Audience: Business community Sample Programs: League of American Bicyclists; Bicycle Friendly Business Program (Long Beach, CA)

Visit Philadelphia promotes a series of bike tours through Center City, from the Delaware River to the Schuylkill River. By partnering with local business, the tours also include lunch and admission to attractions as well.

Bike Share

Bike Registration

A bike share program is a service in which bicycles are made available for shared use to individuals on a very short term basis. Bike share schemes allow people to borrow a bike from point “A” and return it at point “B”.

The purpose of a bicycle registration program is to document an owner’s bicycle information to help them protect their property. An assigned serial number assist law enforcement agencies should an owner lose their bike or become a victim of theft.

In 2017, the City of Lancaster is in the early stages of implementing a bike share system. To ensure success and access, the City should monitor usage by station, relocating under performing stations. During later phases, the City should expand the coverage area while increasing station density within existing service areas. As this plan is implemented and more bicycle infrastructure is added across the county, other townships and boroughs should consider exploring the feasibility of launching a bike share program. The County should provide regional coordination support to ensure bike share programs provide residents with an equitable, cohesive and integrated user experience. Target Audience: Residents and visitors

The City of Lancaster has a bicycle registration program through the Lancaster City Alliance for a $1 fee. Manheim Township offers a free bike registration through the Township Police Department. Communities across the county are encouraged to implement similar programs. Cost for bicycle registration should remain low or be offered free of charge to provide equitable access. Programs should be easily accessible and promoted through multiple on-line and hard copy forms. Target Audience: Current cyclists Sample Programs: Central Washington University; City of Harrisburg, PA

Sample Programs: Philadelphia’s bike share program, Indego; Boston area bike share program, Hubway

The Boston area bike share program, Hubway, is a regional effort that expands to Brookline, Cambridge and Somerville.

4-10 | Framework

Lancaster’s $1 registration fee covers the cost of a serial number sticker to be placed on the bike.

SUMMER 2017

Policy Audit Planning policies, regulations, and design standards play a critical role in fostering more active transportation choices. Such policies can establish a new social norm where walking or biking is seen as practical and appealing for people of all ages and abilities. One of the most cost effective implementation strategies to build an active transportation network is to establish development regulations and street design policies that promote active transportation at local, regional and statewide level. The project team reviewed ordinances, development standards, and policies to identify general issues and opportunities impacting active transportation across the county. Since most walking and biking trips are relatively short, the goal of these policy recommendations is to focus on using â&#x20AC;&#x153;access shedsâ&#x20AC;? of about 1 mile in diameter for walking and 3 miles for biking to effectively capture the majority of walking and biking trips from any particular destination (see graphic below).

Tables outlines key policy recommendations to improve or strengthen policies to promote active transportation throughout Lancaster County can be found in Appendix D. Framework | 4-11
