Active Transportation

Active transportation refers to any form of human-powered travel, like walking, biking, or rolling, that replaces the use of motor vehicles. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, it includes types of mobility that rely on physical effort rather than fuel.

​

We're proud to support a community where up to 17% of our residents walk to work daily, and we're committed to making active transportation safer, more accessible, and more convenient for everyone. Here, you’ll find our 2022 Active Transportation Plan and a variety of resources designed to help reduce vehicle dependence and encourage healthier, more sustainable ways to get around.

"This community values biking, and other alternatively powered ways to move around town. Whether it's for exercise, recreation, or a daily commute, you can find a lot of folks riding two wheels in Indiana."

​

 - Former Councilmember Gerald Smith

What's next?

Expanding our trails! In 2019, we partnered with Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Indiana County Office of Planning & Development and White Township to extend the Hoodlebug Trail to connect our downtown area and provide local riders with an easy way to move around town and access to a regional trail network.

​

We're also partnering with Downtown Indiana to update the 8th Street Corridor between IUP and Philadelphia Street to align with our Complete Streets Policy. Stay tuned for updates on this project!
