Lessons learned since the Guide was first published a decade ago are being shared through these working papers. Moving Together is the fourth in a series of working papers developed by NACTO with our member cities to address the most critical gaps in bikeway design guidance, as part of a long-awaited update to the Urban Bikeway Design Guide. The working paper focuses in particular on the relationship between city agencies and marginalized communities in developing and implementing transportation projects. It reviews some key considerations and strategies that can help planners approach the obstacles that complicate collaborative work. Moving Together: Collaborating with Communities for More Equitable Outcomes describes the critical role of collaboration in effective, equitable planning, design, and implementation. To create better projects, planners, engineers, and designers must center partnerships to build meaningful, collaborative relationships with the communities that host and use transportation infrastructure. Collaborative planning is important in bikeway and bike network development and implementation, because it helps ensure design and policy solutions truly meet community and citywide needs.

Safe, equitable bike networks connect neighborhoods, improve access, and keep people safe-and can be implemented relatively quickly and at low cost. Urban bike networks are a powerful tool for improving transportation equity. Collaborating with communities for more equitable outcomes.
