Idaho Transportation Department

Getting There and Getting Fit too!

Bicycling and walking are two forms of sustainable transportation. These two forms of transportation also help accumulate the minimum daily physical activity requirements recommended for adults and children. If used daily on the commute to work or school, they can help meet your daily physical activity needs.

The Idaho Transportation Department recognizes the value of bicycling and walking and offers opportunities for funding support. The majority of bicycle/pedestrian projects on the State Highway System are implemented in conjunction with designated highway improvement projects. Bicyclists and pedestrians are legitimate users of the state’s transportation system and all transportation jurisdictions should consider and accommodate their needs.
