Knoxville Regional Bicycle Program

"The Knoxville Regional Bicycle Plan envisions a convenient, efficient transportation system where people can bike safely to all destinations."

Whereas bicycling was once an extremely common way of getting around, today it’s become the forgotten mode of transportation. Because motorized vehicles dominate the transportation system, bicycling is often perceived to be a dangerous and/or unimportant mode of travel. The truth is bicycling can bring great economic, environmental, social and health benefits to our region. And, on any given day, a motorist is many times more likely to be involved in a crash than a bicyclist.

 

Raising public awareness about the importance and value of biking, and its legitimate place in the transportation system, must be an ongoing priority.The purpose of the Bicycle Program is to integrate bicycling into the transportation system. The program works with all City and County departments within the TPO boundary to implement the Regional Bicycle Plan.
