`wig <br />32 <br />III. TASK FORCE STRATEGIES AND ACTIONS TO IMPROVE <br />BICYCLE FACILITIES & PROGRAMS <br />A. Facility Improvements for Roads (demonstrates commitment by state elected officials, Orange <br />County's legislative delegation, and the appointed officials to the North Carolina Board of <br />Transportation and North Carolina Bicycle Committee that represent Orange County) <br />Increase dedicated funding for bicycling facilities (need a provision similar to the Urban Loop <br />Legislation whereby funds must be only used for constructing bicycling facilities), this is especially <br />important for MPOs with poor air quality. <br />=> Allow Counties to fund and construct alternative modes of transportation (i.e., sidewalks and paved <br />shoulders) within NC DOT owned right -of -way along state maintained roads. <br />=> Allow greater local input and prioritization of bicycle project construction programming. <br />Provide greater emphasis and funding for the surface quality and debris removal on primary and <br />secondary bicycling transportation routes. <br />=> Include measurable goals and benchmarks (i.e., increase the total number of dedicated bicycle lane <br />miles by 100 miles statewide, or 1 mile per county, per year for the next 20 years). <br />=> Recognize those Bicycle Routes designated by the locals, regions, and state as being significant so that <br />these routes receive the priority of funding for construction of paved shoulders and maintenance. <br />B. Programs to Increase Cyclist Safety and Efficient Transportation Cycling (demonstrates commitment <br />by local elected officials) <br />• Land Use Planning (demonstrates commitment by local government officials): <br />=> provide end -of -trip facilities (mostly bike parking racks and lockers with some employers providing <br />showers and clothing lockers for employees) at multi - family residential, commercial, government, <br />institutions (i.e., hospitals), schools, recreation sites, and major employment centers. <br />=> include in access management plans provisions for bicycle routes (i.e., arterial & collector routes that <br />are also bicycle routes should be more stringent on driveway access permits). <br />=> in addition to access management plans, increase the construction of median divided roads and <br />accommodate this road design in small area and countywide plans. <br />=:> make provisions for cyclists on transit routes with bike racks on buses and bike parking at stops. <br />=> insure that adequate right -of -way is dedicated along bicycle routes to provide for 4' paved shoulders in <br />the future. <br />• Enforcement (demonstrates commitment to cyclist behavior modification by local police & sheriff) <br />make enforcement of cycling laws with cyclists and motorists alike a county priority, and pursue <br />greater involvement of state and local law enforcement. <br />require that cyclist violators face significant fines for breaking traffic laws or attend and successfully <br />complete the League of American Bicyclist's Effective Cycling Course in lieu of paying the fine. <br />13 <br />
