Overview

Benefits of Complete Streets
Complete Streets enhance the transportation experience by providing people additional choices for how they will travel to work, school, and other common destinations. A comprehensive Complete Streets policy has many benefits for the Champaign-Urbana Urbanized Area that build on the individual, non-motorized transportation policies of the federal government. These benefits include, but are not limited to, the following:
Policy
Complete Streets and the Champaign-Urbana Urbanized Area Transportation Study (CUUATS) A Complete Streets policy for the Champaign-Urbana Urbanized Area Transportation Study (CUUATS) is a sure route towards meeting federal and state mandates to plan for and construct roadways for all users (including motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists of all abilities). The local Complete Streets Policy also allows CUUATS to establish the reasons for complete streets in the local context, assure collaboration on complete streets principles in the CUUATS area, and explore how these roadways will comply with federal and state mandates.
