Bicycle Program

Austin's Bicycle Program is building a connected, comfortable bikeway network that serves neighborhoods across the city. Whether you're new to riding or a daily commuter, you'll find resources, maps, and project information to help you get where you need to go. Join us in shaping a safer, more accessible Austin for everyone.

Building Safer, More Connected Streets

Every bikeway project is shaped by community input and local needs. By improving safety, adding new connections, and maintaining the routes people rely on, we're helping make biking a practical option for more Austinites.
