Maryland wants your input on pedestrian and bike safety plans
The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration is seeking public input on pedestrian and bicyclist safety. According to a community announcement, the agency is conducting an online survey and hosting virtual meetings to gather feedback for its Vulnerable Road User (VRU) Assessment. The survey is available until midnight on Aug. 7 at It allows participants to use a digital map to share their experiences walking, biking and rolling on identified routes. The feedback will help the agency evaluate safety needs and update its safety plan for non-motorists. Vulnerable road users, including pedestrians and cyclists, are at a higher risk of being injured or killed in crashes. This assessment aims to address their safety needs, as these groups account for an increasing share of transportation fatalities in Maryland and nationwide. In addition to the survey, the State Highway Administration is hosting five virtual public meetings this summer. These meetings will provide residents an opportunity to ask questions and give feedback on specific geographic areas. All meetings will take place from 4 to 6 p.m. via Microsoft Teams. The schedule is as follows: Tuesday, July 8: Dorchester, Wicomico, Worcester, Somerset, Cecil, Queen Anne's, Kent, Caroline and Talbot counties. Join at or call +1-667-262-2962, passcode 56292696#. Tuesday, July 15: Montgomery and Prince George's counties. Join at or call +1-667-262-2962, passcode 577377009#. Wednesday, July 16: Baltimore and Harford counties and Baltimore City.
