Transportation Study

In 2018, the City of Hyattsville commissioned a study to develop a comprehensive plan to improve existing transportation infrastructure, carry out new projects, and determine priorities for the next 20 years. You can review the Hyattsville Transportation Study's final report.

Transportation Options

Bike and Pedestrian Travel

Providing safe and easy routes for bicycle and pedestrian travel is a priority for the City of Hyattsville. In March 2008 a Bike and Pedestrian Safety Committee created a Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. The plan focused on creating a bicycle and pedestrian network connecting the City’s residential and commercial corridors. The Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements project was made possible through a $110,000 Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) Community Legacy grant. An additional Community Legacy grant awarded $15,000 towards the installation of Capital Bikeshare stations in 2015.

The City continues to prioritize and implement bicycle and pedestrian improvements recommended in the 2018 Citywide Transportation Study and Countywide Plans such as the Prince George's Plaza Transit District Development Plan.
