A Case for Action
The Houston Bike Plan is a
transformative opportunity to...
1. Provide a safer, more comfortable
environment for the growing number
of people riding bicycles in Houston
2. Provide affordable access to
opportunities
3. Improve community health and
wellness
4. Compete with peer cities who are
setting the bar
5. Benefit everyone, not just people
who bike

Draft Vision and Goals
1. To provide a safer bicycle network for people of all ages and
abilities through improved facilities, education, and enforcement
2. To create a highly accessible, citywide network of comfortable
bike facilities that connects neighborhoods to transit, jobs, and
activity centers, including schools, universities, parks, and
libraries
3. To exceed average ridership levels in peer cities by
implementing policies and programs that enable more people to
ride bicycles and encourage healthy, active transportation choices
4. To develop and sustain a high-quality bicycle network, including
both bikeways and end-of-trip facilities
Vision
Goals
By 2026, the City of Houston will be a Safer, More Accessible, Gold Level Bike-Friendly City
