In development: 2025 COLLIER MPO BICYCLE & PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN (BPMP)
The Collier MPO is in the process of updating its BPMP! Now is the time to participate and contribute to its development in creating a better place to walk or ride in all of Collier County.
Click here to take the second and final survey or scan the QR code in the graphic below! Click here to access the interactive map and here for its user guide! Details below.
The BPMP is being updated with assistance from Capital Engineering Solutions and guidance from the MPO’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC), Citizens and Technical Advisory Committees (CAC and TAC), our agency planning partners, local advocacy groups and public input. The BPMP will serve as all of Collier County’s guiding document for project prioritization of pathway facilities.
The initial phase involved gathering information and creating an inventory of bike-ped facilities within the MPO’s jurisdiction that are:
- Existing – currently in place or construction will be complete by the end of 2024
- Programmed – facilities that are programmed for construction between 2025-2029 in the MPO’s Transportation Improvement Program, Collier County’s Capital Improvement Program or the Cities of Marco Island and Naples Capital Improvement Programs.
- Planned – facilities identified in the Everglades City, Marco Island or Naples Bike-Ped Master Plan, an MPO or County Feasibility Study, Walkable Community Study, Community Redevelopment Agency Master Plan or other locally adopted plan or study, in a Project Development and Environment Study or in the Preliminary Engineering (Design) phase.
An interactive map was created, combining these above elements with the results of a public survey inquiring about issues and goals released in the spring of 2024. Please take a few minutes to explore this map and, using the “edit” button, provide what comment and/or illustration you may have to contribute to improve facilities in the bicycle and pedestrian network in areas specified on the map. Remember to sign in to Google after opening the map to be able to edit. A BPMP interactive map user guide is available for instructions on how to use the map.

Current and active: 2019 BICYCLE & PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN
The purpose of the plan is to build on prior efforts to develop a first-class bicycle and pedestrian network throughout Collier County. This plan is not intended to duplicate or conflict with existing local plans and ongoing bicycle and pedestrian projects, but rather, to unify planning efforts and influence facility improvement priorities at the county level.
