Bike Fort Worth
Bike Fort Worth is the City’s comprehensive plan for developing a friendlier bicycle environment. Recommendations for supportive policies, programs and facilities are included to increase bicycle transportation within the City of Fort Worth.
The City has identified three goals to benchmark the success of the plan:
- Triple the number of bicycle commuters
- Decrease bicyclist related crashes by 10 percent
- Attain official designation as a Bicycle Friendly Community through the League of American Bicyclists.
Implementation of the Bike Fort Worth plan will promote bicycling as a safe and attractive transportation alternative. A bicycle transportation network will improve livability in Fort Worth by providing an alternative travel option to residents of the City and improved access to other modes of transit.
Bike Rack Request Program: Fort Worth businesses can apply for up to three free bike racks. View the page for details.
