Knoxville Regional Bicycle Program

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

Bicycling is a great way to get around town. It saves money, improves air quality and is good exercise. 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.

Nationwide, communities are realizing they cannot build their way out of congestion. They must look to other solutions, such as transit, carpooling and bicycling. A healthy transportation system provides safe, convenient choices. Improving bicycling conditions provides alternatives for the increasing numbers of citizens who can't afford, don't want to or are physically unable to drive motor vehicles.

Bicycling is the healthy transportation choice. Regular exercise helps prevent heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, colon cancer, depression and many more diseases. Obesity has increased at alarming rates, even in children. Bicycling to work, school or for errands, is an easy way to make exercise a part of your daily life.
