Lafayette :
After analyzing crash and fatality reports, Lafayette chose slogans to address the most common causes of pedestrian and bicycllng accidents to educate the public. These were published on changethewaywetravel.com, a DOTD program to promote bicycle and pedestrian safety. There are two major streets that have been recently re-striped for bicycle lanes, and they are currently working on a bicycle path to connect the various campuses of the university. The Lafayette Bicycle Subcommittee also just wrapped up their suggestions for a long-term bicycling infrastructure plan for the MPO area.
