About
Caltrans Bay Area (District 4) is updating the 2018 Bike Plan! The new Bike Plan will identify barriers to cycling, prioritize improvements and act as a resource for Caltrans staff to implement bike infrastructure on and across Caltrans facilities in the 9-county Bay Area.
What is a Bike Plan?
The Caltrans Bay Area Bike Plan will identify infrastructure improvements that can enhance bicycle safety, mobility, social equity and preservation throughout the Bay Area and remove some of the barriers to bicycling in the region. The Bike Plan will be developed in cooperation with local and regional partners to ensure that the improvements on the State Highway System complement proposals for local networks.
Vision and Goals
By 2040, people in California of all ages, abilities, and incomes can safely, conveniently, and comfortably bike for their everyday transportation needs
Public Input
Comment on Caltrans' Bike Improvements Map
A Map of bike improvements was developed that prioritized biking location-based needs. Location-based needs are specific locations along or across the state highway system where infrastructure investments would most benefit people biking and best achieve the goals of the State Active Transportation plan. The Map details the needs of people biking as well as a tiered ranking system to prioritize these needs. This helps assess which needs might best be suited to move into project development over time.

Bicycle Best Practices
The Caltrans Bay Area (District 4) Best Practices presents considerations and strategies for the development of bikeways on Caltrans facilities. The Best Practices were developed to obtain consensus and feedback from the public, stakeholders, and partner agencies on preferred designs, fill in gaps in existing design guidance, be a resource to staff when making comments on projects, and showcase examples of all ages and abilities facilities built on Caltrans right of way.
