ALTOONA, Pa. — The Southern Alleghenies Planning & Development Commission (SAP&DC) is currently updating its 2016 Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan for the Southern Alleghenies RPO Region (Bedford County, Fulton County, Huntingdon County, Somerset County). The Southern Alleghenies Rural Planning Organization (RPO) is charged with administering a multimodal transportation program, addressing not only the Region’s highway and bridge infrastructure, but also the elements that support walking and bicycling. The development of the 2021 Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan is being overseen by SAP&DC and is guided by an advisory committee that consists of representatives from the RPO Region, PennDOT District 9, and PennDOT Central Office.
As part of the update to the Plan, SAP&DC is conducting an online, interactive survey through PublicInput to garner feedback from the community on bicycle and pedestrian opportunities and issues within the Region. The feedback and information received from the survey will help guide bicycle and pedestrian efforts and investments for the Southern Alleghenies RPO. The survey began on June 1, 2021 and will conclude on July 15, 2021. To take the survey online, please use the link or QR code provided: https://publicinput.com/SAbikeped2021
