Abstract:Over the last ten years, communities around the country have begun to implement comprehensive reforms
designed to ensure that roadway users of all ages and abilities can safely utilize the transportation system.
This complete streets policy framework has emerged as an important tool for communities to improve
opportunities for active living with over 500 policies adopted nationwide.
Complete streets policy diffusion has been rapid, but uneven, and the extent to which policy adoption is
making a difference in the implementation of projects at the local and regional level is unclear. This
research project seeks to address this need through a national survey of the 385 metropolitan planning
organizations (MPOs) around the country, evaluating the extent to which complete streets policies are
being adopted and implemented at the MPO level, what opportunities and barriers to complete streets exist,
and implications for future policy diffusion and innovation efforts.
