Active Transportation describes all human-powered forms of travel, such as walking and cycling. The Active Transportation Program was moved to the Multimodal Division in Fall 2021. This allows for better coordination between alternative transportation modes and enhances active transportation opportunities in Oklahoma.

Accomplishments for active transportation include the designation of Route 66/SH 66 as a United States Bicycle Route and the first ever Oklahoma statewide Active Transportation Plan that was completed in 2024.

Ongoing ODOT Active Transportation efforts include working in cooperation with local governments to enhance bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Generally, funding for these bicycle and pedestrian improvements is from a combination of federal, local and private and/or non-profit sources. Bicycle and pedestrian facilities throughout Oklahoma consist of multi-use trails, bicycle routes, and sidewalks. The planning and implementation of bicycle and pedestrian improvements are typically completed at the local government level, and/or through a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO).
