3 T AF CHAPTER 1 D R INTRODUCTION
4 CHAPTER 3 ARTICULATES VISION Bicycling is safe, fun and practical in the Ocean State. Implementation of the Bicycle Mobility Plan has made Rhode Island the most-bikeable state in New England. Bicycling is fully integrated into the state s and municipalities policies, programs and improvement projects, creating a network of paths and streets that safely connect our cities, towns, villages and regions. Bicycle projects are designed to encourage people of all ages and abilities to choose bicycling for both transportation and recreation. Chapter 1 articulates a Vision for bicycling in Rhode Island along with the goals, objectives, and performance measures that will guide the Bicycle Mobility Plan and make it an effective document to help implement the Vision. 1.1 VISION The State of Rhode Island aims to increase bicycling by residents, workers, and visitors of all ages and abilities. The goals, objectives and performance measures of the Rhode Island Bicycle Mobility Plan (BMP) will guide the planning, funding and implementation of a statewide trail network, on-road bicycle improvements and bicycle policies and programs for years to come. A Vision is a broad inspirational statement for the desired future state of bicycling. Goals are general statements of what people who live, work or visit Rhode Island hope to achieve over time. Objectives are more-specific action items that will help to achieve the goals. Performance Measures are annual or bi-annual data-driven benchmarks that help the state gauge progress towards the BMP s goals and objectives. Responsible Parties are state and local agencies expected to take the lead in monitoring data points to meet the recommended Performance Measures for each Goal. In some cases, non-profits may be included as a responsible party. BICYCLE MOBILITY PLAN 1
