Complete Streets

Complete Streets are roadways designed to safely and comfortably accommodate all users, including, but not limited to motorists, cyclists, pedestrians, transit and school bus riders, delivery and service personnel, freight haulers, and emergency responders. "All users" includes people of all ages and abilities. On April 8, 2010, MORPC adopted a regional Complete Streets (CS) Policy to replace the Routine Accommodations (RA) Policy. The CS policy and accompanying checklist were developed with input from a very active and engaged working group. The policy and checklist can be downloaded from the links below.

NEW: MORPC Complete Streets Newsletter

Twice a year we will publish a newsletter that reports progress with our Complete Streets toolkit (a resource that will contain model policies, engineering, enforcement, education, and encouragement strategies) as well as other news relevant to Complete Streets efforts in central Ohio. Our first newsletter can be accessed here.

We also put together a fact sheet of our Complete Streets policy with answers to some frequently asked questions. This fact sheet is included as part of the first newsletter as well.
