02 VISION AND GOALS

The vision and goals establish an overarching framework for the Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan update, and they guide development of the Plan recommendations and establishment of priorities.

The vision statement is an aspirational view of Columbus’ bicycle and pedestrian network and is supported by four principal goals. The objectives, which include best practices from across the country, are specific actions identified to achieve these goals. Finally, performance measures will be used to track progress over time and to provide a method for measuring the success of the identified objectives.

The vision, goals, and objectives reflect priorities expressed by the public and community stakeholders throughout the community outreach process.

THE VISION:

Columbus is a community where people of all ages and abilities have safe, convenient, and equitable bicycle and pedestrian access to jobs, schools, parks, transit, and other key destinations.
