All Ages and Abilities Bike Network
Austin, Texas completed 115 miles of new bike lanes to achieve a 50% build out of its All Ages and Abilities Mobility Network in only 24 months. Another 142 miles are scheduled for completion by 2025.
" We set what we thought were pretty ambitious goals and frankly, I would've been really proud if we had just met those original goals. But then we had a community that indicated that it was ready to open up the pocketbook and really develop these multimodal choices faster. At the same time as we were getting our community together to approve a multi-billion dollar urban rail system and transit overhaul, it became apparent to us that we could also accelerate the goal we had of building up the bicycle network. It was popular and people wanted us to do it. "
