"The Knoxville Regional Bicycle Plan envisions a convenient, efficient transportation system where people can bike safely to all destinations."
The Knoxville Regional Bicycle Plan provides a guide for the development of a convenient, efficient transportation system where people can bike safely to all destinations. This Plan recognizes the growing needs of the bicycling public and seeks to encourage more bicycling for both personal transportation and recreation. Bicycling as transportation improves air quality and reduces traffic congestion. In addition, bicyclists benefit from improved health and fitness.
The Plan is divided into six major sections: Planning and Policy; Design and Engineering; Maintenance; Enforcement; Education and Safety; and Promotion and Outreach. Each section includes numerous action steps that need to be accomplished in order to achieve the Plan's vision. It will take the cooperation of many city and county agencies, organizations, the TPO Bicycle Advisory Committee and citizens to reach the goals that have been laid out.
