Commuter Information

Share the path

Ferguson Township and Centre Region residents have a variety of options for your daily commute. Each day, thousands of people travel to and from work by car, foot, bicycle, bus, vanpool, and almost any other mode of transportation you can think of. These commutes are made possible by a well-maintained and intricate network of roadways, bikeways, and multi-use paths that link the neighborhoods and residences of the Township with the business centers.

Bicycle Friendly Community

The Centre Region is recognized as a Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists. This designation was achieved through a regional effort to improve the quantity and quality of multi-use paths that allow residents, students, and visitors of all ages and ability levels to experience the community on a bicycle. Learn more about Bicycling in the Centre Region. 

The Centre Region Council of Governments (COG) General Forum adopted the Centre Region Bike Plan and Executive Summary at its regular meeting on December 15, 2015.

Share the Path - In 2013, the municipalities of the Centre Region launched the "Share the Path" campaign to educate the users of the shared paths about safety and legal requirements. These include wearing a helmet under the age of 12, providing an audible signal when passing, yielding to pedestrians, and more. Look for "Share the Path" signs as you travel the paths around the Region.
