Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee
The Tulsa Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee advises INCOG and the city governments in the INCOG area on projects, policies, and programs that improve and/or affect bicycling and pedestrian conditions in Tulsa.
Goals:
1. Receive silver bicycle-friendly status from the League of American Bicyclists by 2022.
2. Receive bronze pedestrian-friendly status from Walk Friendly Communities by 2018.
3. Achieve a 50% reduction in traffic fatalities for people walking and bicycling every 10 years (7% annually). In order to bring attention to cyclist and pedestrian traffic fatalities, BPAC has developed this Crash Data Map based on information provided by the Oklahoma Department of Transportation and the SAFE-T Database.
4. Increase the bicycle commuter rate from 0.4% (in 2012) to 1% in 2020.
Increase the percent of pedestrian commuters from 2% (in 2012) to 3% in 2020. (data from US Census Bureau)
Increase the adult cycling participation rate from 25% (in 2015) to 35% in 2018
Increase the adult walking participation rate from 72% (in 2015) to 80% in 2018. (data from Tulsa Health Department’s Community Health Needs Assessment)
5. Dedicate 7% of transportation funding to bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, including 1% for maintenance of infrastructure.
This funding percentage includes ADA transition plan funding that updates sidewalks and/or other pedestrian improvements, complete streets/multi-modal studies, and bond packages dedicated solely to bike/ped infrastructure improvements
6. Implement the following actions in 2019:
Education
A. Develop and implement Bike/Pedestrian Friendly Motorist training
B. Conduct a LCI (League Certified Instructor) training
Encouragement
A. Recruit Bike Friendly Business applicants - two per quarter for 2018

C. Investigate the possibility of a coalition dedicated to walkability
D. Advocate/support an Active Transportation (bike/walk) Coordinator at the City of Tulsa
7. Oversee and encourage implementation of the GoPlan, with a goal of 10% implementation in the City of Tulsa by 2019.
