Everyone in Delaware walks at some point, whether it’s to a parked car or stepping off a bus. While cars are the primary mode of transportation in the state, walking remains the most universal and fundamental form of transportation. For some Delawareans, it’s their main form of transportation.
The Delaware Pedestrian Action Plan lays out strategies for DelDOT to develop safe, accessible, connected, and equitable transportation facilities for all. Phase 1 of the plan, published in October 2022, reviewed existing DelDOT pedestrian-related planning documents, policies, programs, and initiatives. It also analyzed statewide pedestrian crash data to identify potential crash clusters and gaps in connectivity.
Phase 2, released in October 2024 to coincide with Pedestrian Safety Awareness Month, builds on these findings. It proposes specific items and updates to programs and policies aimed at achieving the goals outlined in Phase 1. The public is encouraged to review and provide feedback on the plan via the links below.
