Walk Bike Palm Beach
WalkBikePalmBeach.org was created by the Palm Beach TPA to provide pedestrian and bicycle related information in Palm Beach County. This is in line with the TPA's Mission to collaboratively plan, prioritize, and fund the transportation system and Vision for a safe, efficient, and connected multimodal transportation system.
The TPA's Bicycle-Trailways-Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BTPAC) is responsible for advising and informing the TPA Board regarding pedestrian and bicycle issues in Palm Beach County. For more information about the BTPAC click here.
The TPA encourages walking and bicycling safely and has compiled a list of educational resources available here. More information can be found in the "Additional Resources" section below. The TPA can also be a funding partner for implementing pedestrian and bicycle facilities through its annual grant programs. For more information, visit: PalmBeachTPA.org/Funding.
Walk Bike Safety Audits
The TPA wants to coordinate Walk Bike Safety Audits with our partners in the community. These audits help identify pedestrian and bicycle safety issues y being on the ground and experiencing the built environment first hand. Audits are planned in coordination with the municipality, roadway owners, and other stakeholder, like Palm Tran or the School District of Palm Beach County, in order to improve safety and access for people of all ages and abilities. After these audits are completed, the TPA and audit stakeholders work to evaluate recommendations and identify funding opportunities.
For more information or to coordinate a Walk Bike Safety Audit, please contact Alyssa Frank, TPA Ped-Bike Coordinator, at AFrank@PalmBeachTPA.org or (561) 725-0806.
