Over the past three years, volunteers, interns, staff, and our board have worked to collate the hundreds of existing bicycle and pedestrian plans across the state. Today, we present them to you in the 2025 Bike/Ped Plan and Policy Toolkit, a comprehensive guide designed to support your advocacy efforts and empower your communities to create lasting change for active mobility. We hope that you will use this resource to review plans, policies, funding needs and project priorities that exist in your community already but remain unfunded or underprioritized.
With the historic background of this toolkit, we know that you will need help knowing what to do with this information now at your fingertips.
With that in mind, we have also assembled the draft of our BikeWalk NC 2025 Advocacy Manual. This manual will provide a link with essential information on how to contact key decision-makers that represent you and make transportation decisions for you at the North Carolina General Assembly and NCDOT. It’s designed to help you make a direct connection to advocate for the active mobility changes that matter most to you and your community.
We know that creating safer roads isn’t just about building infrastructure—it’s about changing the conversation around transportation to prioritize people over cars. The 2025 Policy Toolkit and the 2025 Advocacy Manual will help you make the right connections, mobilize local action, and directly influence the policies that shape our streets and public spaces.
Whether you’re a community organizer, an advocate, or just someone who believes in the power of safe, walkable, and bikeable infrastructure and the engineered transportation network, these resources are here to help you make a difference. With your engagement, we can build a transportation network that serves everyone and provides safe transportation choices for your children, your family, your city, your county, your region and our state.
Together, we can make North Carolina a model for safe, active, equitable mobility.
