About
BikeWalkBG is a movement seeking to encourage biking and walking for all of Bowling Green. We want to empower you to get out and move – to feel safe and enjoy your adventure whether you’re walking, running, or biking – by yourself, with friends, or with your kids. We’re working to take a more comprehensive and collective approach to not only encouraging biking and walking, but also to the planning efforts that help to create a safer, efficient, and more connected multimodal transportation system. BikeWalkBG is powered by you but is carried out by multiple agencies in many different facets.
The Bowling Green-Warren County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) does not have a budget nor the responsibility of constructing bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The MPO oversees the planning efforts for biking and walking facilities, while working with both the City of Bowling Green and Warren County Public Works and Parks & Recreation Departments, along with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 3 to carry out the design, right-of-way acquisition, utility relocation, and construction phases of the projects to implement planning projects for improved multimodal access. These multimodal planning activities are carried out by a subcommittee of the MPO’s Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) – the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC). BikeWalkBG is a branded program used to promote BPAC efforts. BikeWalkBG Bike Education in School Program is funded by the Paula Nye Memorial Grant. 
Get Involved
The MPO Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) is a subcommittee of the MPO Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). The BPAC provides a forum of communication and collaboration for the bicycle and pedestrian community and public officials alike. The focus areas of the BPAC are to plan & advise. The BPAC makes recommendations to the TAC, which then proceeds to the MPO Policy Committee for final decision. With all transportation modes (highway, transit, bike-ped) under the planning efforts of the MPO, the MPO better represents a multimodal system where all forms of transportation are recognized and planned within a single entity. We are always seeking public input on biking and walking initiatives in our community. Join our meetings, which are always open to the public.
