Complete Streets
The Federal Highway Administration is supporting the planning and implementation of streets and networks that prioritize safety, comfort, and connectivity to destinations for all people who use the street network. Complete Streets implementation starts with people, not transportation mode. The elements of a Complete Street vary based on community context and the role that a particular street needs to serve in the multimodal network. Not every street requires bicycle lanes or public transportation stops. Instead, creating a safe, connected, and equitable Complete Streets Network is an iterative strategy that involves:
- Understanding the community and network
- Identifying safety, connectivity, and equity
- Implementing improvements over time, and
- Evaluating impacts by monitoring and measuring success.
