In summer 2024, GOPC published our first volume of How to Build Safe, Vibrant Streets in Ohio: A Guide for Non-Engineers. It provided tips for implementing an active transportation project, funding sources, and technical assistance programs at the state and federal level that can help plan and fund projects. We are proud that the guide has been downloaded nearly 350 times, and hope it is inspiring more innovative approaches to creating calmer, safer streets, and revitalized neighborhoods in Ohio and beyond!
We are excited to share How to Build Safe, Vibrant Streets in Ohio: A Guide for Non-Engineers, Volume 2. Volume 2 builds on the case studies presented in the first volume by featuring additional examples of outstanding improvements local leaders and communities have undertaken. These improvements are making roads safer for pedestrians and cyclists, and creating more vibrant and welcoming neighborhoods. Volume 2 also includes case studies on active transportation planning efforts, describing the work communities have taken to prepare for actual infrastructure investments.
