Cycling<\/h1><\/div>

The RTC is committed to Southern Nevada developing a safe, connected, and convenient walking and bicycling system that serves as a viable transportation and recreation asset while advancing the region\u2019s economic, educational, health, and environmental goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

What does that mean for Southern Nevadans? <\/b>
\n<\/span><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Dedicated bike lanes along streets to provide safe travel. <\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Bike and walking trails for exercise, recreation, and commuting. <\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Safe routes for students to get to and from school and extracurricular activities.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Convenient bike share services, promoting eco-friendly transportation options for everyone in the community.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Additionally, the RTC is working on linking bicycle facilities to transit service and providing bike routes along transit corridors. The RTC\u2019s transit system supports more than 55,000 bike trips every month. Safe and convenient options for pedestrians and cyclists are important to our quality of life. As a bonus, walking and cycling are also good for the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
