Bike/Walk Twin Cities
Transit for Livable Communities is administering the Nonmotorized Transportation Pilot Program (NTP) for the Twin Cities. TLC has named this project Bike/Walk Twin Cities. NTP was established in 2005 as part of the six-year federal transportation law known as SAFETEA-LU. The law provides $21.5 million to four communities nationwide to evaluate how investments in planning, infrastructure, and public education can increase rates of bicycling and walking and reduce driving. The four pilot communities include Minneapolis and its adjoining communities; Sheboygan County, Wisconsin; Marin County, California; and Columbia, Missouri.

As stiff twin compasses are two;
Thy soul, the fixed foot, makes no show
To move, but doth if th’ other do.”
—John Donne (1572–1631)
