What is the Regional Bike Plan and how was it developed?
Riding to 2050: San Diego Regional Bike Plan sets forth a vision for, and guides the development of, a diverse regional bike network, support facilities, and programs. The plan was developed by evaluating the current regional bikeway network and programs to identify opportunities and constraints to riding a bike for transportation in the San Diego region. Responses to local and regional questionnaires indicate that residents would be willing to bicycle more frequently when better bicycle and support facilities, and bicycle-related programs, are provided. This data, along with data from the United States Census and the American Survey for San Diego County, and existing policies were compiled and analyzed to develop a comprehensive set of goals, objectives, and action items.  

How is the Bike Plan being implemented?
Now known as GO by BIKE, the Regional Bike Network was called for in the Bike Plan and involves the coordination and implementation of the planning, design, and construction of a diverse infrastructure of interconnected, on-street, and separated bikeways, as well as programs and services designed to support and encourage more people to ride a bike for daily trips. In September 2013, the SANDAG Board of Directors approved $200 million to implement the Regional Bike Plan Early Action Program (EAP) over the next ten years. In collaboration with local jurisdictions, other public agencies, and community organizations our vision is to make this region one of the most bike-friendly in the nation.
