Transportation Planners Gathering Public Comments for Draft Berks County Active Transportation Plan

Berks County transportation planners are seeking input from the public on how to reduce barriers to walking, bicycling, and accessibility in Berks County and the best methods to achieve those goals. The car has been the dominant choice for people to travel to work, school, shopping centers, etc. As roads become congested and air quality diminishes, people look for other ways to get where they want to go. Additionally, some people do not own a vehicle, and the only way to get around Berks County is to travel on foot, by bicycle, or by using an assistive device. Also, increased health awareness and changes in transportation choices — including the rapid increase in the use of e-bikes and e-scooters — necessitate a review of the overall transportation system.
