Trails and On-Street Bikeways Network

Many cities and counties in the region have developed and adopted bicycle master plans, trail master plans, or a combination of both. Various communities are also developing plans for local pedestrian networks and programs to provide safe routes to schools. The number of locally adopted community bicycle and trail master plans in the region grows each year. These documents were used in the development of Mobility 2050 to ensure regional connectivity and continuity.

The active transportation network in the region consists of over 9,500 miles of regional shared-use paths (Regional Veloweb), supporting community shared-use paths, and the on-street bikeway network (including on-street wide shoulders in rural areas) in various stages of development. This network plays a key role in supporting Mobility 2050 and the implementation of the multimodal context-sensitive design roadways and transit infrastructure that assist in safely accommodating all travelers throughout the region. Over 1,000 miles of existing trails make up this network, with many more planned.

Interactive Map of Trails and On-Street Bikeways
The interactive map displays existing, funded and planned trails and bikeways in the 12-county Metropolitan Planning Area adopted as part of Mobility 2050. This network of facilities does not include recreational park loops, private paths, equestrian or nature trails, or wide sidewalks less than ten feet in width. The legend below provides an in-depth description of the different bicycle and pedestrian facilities included in the network.
