Bicycle Master Plan

A Bicycle Master Plan is a published development plan describing long-range objectives for developing bicycle infrastructure in a city or region. It may include bicycle paths, protected bicycle lanes, bicycle parking, and integration with public transit^[1] as ways to promote bicycling as a viable transportation option.

Many cities have a Bicycle Master Plan, including Seattle,^[2] Los Angeles,^[3] Portland (Oregon),^[4] and Vancouver.^[5]

Models to estimate how bicycling can improve health outcomes of residents living in specific census tracts within a city have been developed in Norfolk, VA and San Francisco, CA to inform the Bicycle Master Plan.^[6]
