Description
As a response to the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) 2040 by the South East Texas Regional Planning Commission Metropolitan Planning Organization (SETRPC-MPO), the South East Texas Hike and Bike Plan (SETHBP) was created for the Jefferson-Orange-Hardin three-county region. The plan will act as a roadmap for augmenting the current automobile- oriented transportation system with new and improved bicycle facilities as an alternative transportation option. Making bicycling safer and more convenient will have positive impacts on the region’s residents in terms of improved health and increased mobility options.Department
