About the Contributing Agencies The Dane County Bicycle Map was prepared by staff for the Madison Area Transportation Planning Board – A Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). Funding for printing of the map was provided by the Dane County Department of Public Works, Highway and Transportation. The Madison Area Transportation Planning Board is the designated policy body responsible for coop- erative transportation planning and decision making for the Madison metropolitan planning area. The Re- gional Transportation Plan 2050 (2017), adopted by the MPO, is an overall system-level plan that serves as a guide for transportation system planning and de- velopment in the region. The Bicycle Transportation Plan for the Madison Urban Area and Dane County (2015) is an element of the regional transportation plan. Welcome to the Dane County Bicycle Map Dane County is a wonderful place to live, work, and bike! Our rolling hills, farms and countryside, small towns, and villages are terrific places to visit by bike. Many new bike paths and trails offer wonderful rec- reational opportunities for the whole family. And to- day, a growing number of people are choosing bicy- cling for their commute to work. Enjoy traveling on two wheels!
