OAKLAND - Caltrans Bay Area is seeking input on the Draft Bay Area Pedestrian Plan and surveying the public to identify locations for walking and biking improvements on the state highway system. 

Another survey, collects public input on a new study of long-distance bikeways, called bike highways. 
By participating in these surveys, the public can play a critical role in shaping plans for pedestrian and bicycle improvements.

The pedestrian survey starts with an online map allowing participants to drop a pin on locations to suggest improvements for walking and biking. Follow-up questions help the respondents identify specific issues of concern and suggested remedies. 

The survey is tailored to provide information about the type and location of needed improvements, allowing Caltrans to evaluate these locations in developing future projects.
