An updated roadmap for a safer, more active, and connected Bay Area.
Oakland — Caltrans District 4 announces the release of the Caltrans Bay Area BikePlan Update, a blueprint for improving bicycle infrastructure on Bay Area state highways. Building on the 2018 Caltrans District 4 Bike Plan and the Caltrans Active Transportation Plans, the update lists opportunities to transform state highways into accessible and integrated community assets.
“This update reaffirms Caltrans’ commitment to safety, equity, climate action, and prosperity by providing safe, comfortable, and connected streets,” said Dave Ambuehl, acting Caltrans District 4 Director. “We are working to reimagine state highways not as barriers to alternative transportation, but as conduits for healthier, more sustainable communities.”
The Bike Plan Update represents a collaborative effort involving local and regional partners, community members, and other stakeholders. It includes a prioritized list of recommended improvements for cycling in the Bay Area, each scored on metrics that address safety, equity, and mobility. The prioritized list and supporting data will help inform future investments.
With this Plan, Caltrans is committed to working with our partners to create a healthier and more sustainable Bay Area where people of all ages and abilities can bike comfortably and conveniently for their everyday needs.
