Active Transportation
"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."
​
- Councilmember Gerald Smith
Indiana Borough is a community that is committed to making active transportation easier and safer for our residents and visitors.
​
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 and connect our downtown area, providing local riders with an easy way to move around town and access to a regional trail network.
​
Promoting Active Transportation
Indiana Borough's active BikePed Committee meets on the 4th Wednesday of every month, from 5:30 - 6:30 PM to discuss ways to improve transportation access and safety. Interested in joining? Feel free to reach out via email or on our Facebook page!
​
Community Events & Programs
Cycling events and programs are a regular feature in our community, including a Critical Mass and Bike To School & Work Day, coordinated with help by our Police Department.
Through the Earn-a-Bike Program at Chevy Chase Community Center, young participants learn about bike repair and safety, and receive a free bike upon completion.
Walk Works: Walk your way to fitness
This program, aimed at increasing opportunities for physical activity, offers fun, fact-filled community-based walking routes led by a group leader. The walking groups have been created through a partnership with the Pennsylvania Health Department, University of Pittsburgh and Indiana County Office of Planning & Development. WalkWorks is currently seeking a Group Leader to lead walks in the borough. Contact Barb Hauge at bhauge@upstreetarchitects.com for additional information.
