BICYCLE NETWORK
BIG IDEA
Stitch Together Commuting Corridors
An expansive cross-county network for bicycles , scooters , and emerging technologies will establish connected corridors for bicycle commuting .
This “ AAA ”, All Ages and Abilities , system will serve to transform the recreational perception of cycling into one that is integral to our daily life and commuting .
This program extends bike connections between major mobility hubs and employment centers , links key greenways , and fills priority gaps in our bicycle network to connect people to jobs and critical needs .
