Complete Streets

Complete Streets are roadways designed, implemented, operated, and maintained in an equitable and context-sensitive manner so that people of all ages, incomes, and abilities can use them safely. These streets consider the needs of all people, including, but not limited to, people: walking, bicycling, using shared mobility devices and assistive devices, using transit and riding school buses, driving, and operating commercial and emergency vehicles.

MORPC Complete Streets Policy

MORPC first adopted a Complete Streets Policy in 2010 and adopted an update to the Policy in 2021. All transportation projects receiving MORPC-attributable federal funding are required to comply with this Complete Streets Policy.
