Partners

The WalkBikeNC Plan was jointly funded by the NC Department of Transportation (NCDOT)'s federal planning funds, NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), NC Department of Commerce, NC Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina Foundation, and the Davis Wealth Management (DWM) Foundation. NCDOT assembled a Steering Committee and an Advisory Committee that comprised legislators, agency staff, Division of Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation staff, NCDOT divisions, Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and Rural Planning Organization (RPO) staff, bike/ped advocacy groups, funding partners, and county and municipal representatives. Intradepartmental and interdepartmental efforts were instrumental in guiding the development of this plan and laid the foundation for future coordination.
