Our Mission

Bicycle and foot traffic are means of transportation which contribute to a healthy, sustainable community with a good quality of life. The mission of the Committee is to encourage widespread, safe, and responsible use of these forms of transportation, and to advocate for better and safer conditions, access, and facilities for walking and cycling.

To achieve this mission the committee is working on the following:

» Seek to upgrade and expand bicycle and pedestrian facilities in New Paltz.
» Have an ongoing working relationship with the Town and Village Boards,
Planning Boards and Building Departments.
» Have an ongoing working relationship with the Town Highway Superintendent and the Village Superintendent of Public Works.
» Establish communication links with Ulster County and New York State traffic
and transportation officials.
» Educate ourselves about methods to achieve our goals.
» Educate the community concerning bicycle and pedestrian issues.
» Prepare a New Paltz Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.
