The Urban Trails Program creates, promotes, and maintains Austin’s urban trails network. Our goal is for this network to help people of all ages and abilities travel from one end of the city to another in a safe and healthy way.

Urban trails are:
- Wide, paved trails that are typically physically separated from on-street traffic.
- Built to connect with our sidewalk and bicycle networks, linking neighborhoods, community resources, and green spaces across Austin.
- Designed to provide a safe and comfortable way to walk, bike, and more!
Austin currently has around 60 miles of urban trails. Discover existing and upcoming concrete trails to walk or bike on with the Urban Trails Interactive Web Map.

Urban Trails Planning
The Urban Trails Program works closely with the community, other City departments, and additional partners to develop and expand our trail network.
Learn more about the trails and projects in our urban trails network here.
The City’s 2014 Urban Trails Plan is a strategic plan that identifies high-priority projects and guides how and where we build urban trails in the years to come. The Urban Trails Plan recommends adding 47 more miles of high-priority trails over the next 20 years. Eventually, Austin will be home to more than 400 miles of urban trails!
Through ATX Walk Bike Roll we are updating our 2014 Urban Trails Plan.
