Cities for Cycling is
a project of the National Association of City Transportation Officials
to catalog, promote and implement the world’s best bicycle
transportation practices in American municipalities.
Bicycling is good for cities. Providing safe, comfortable,
convenient bicycling facilities is a cost-effective way for American
municipalities to improve mobility, livability and public health while
reducing traffic congestion and CO2 emissions.
Cities for Cycling focuses on implementing world-class bicycle
transportation systems through design innovation and the sharing of
best practices. American municipalities are increasingly pioneering new
designs and adapting international best practices to local conditions.
To assist this local-level leadership, the Cities for Cycling project
works to share and promote state-of-the-art practices that ensure safe
traffic conditions for all modes of travel.
Cities for Cycling is pleased to present a sampling of Design Resources for Urban Bicycle Transportation that have been developed by and for leading bicycling cities.
More detailed Emerging Best Practices Sheets highlight a few of the
engineering techniques being deployed by NACTO members to make
bicycling safer, more comfortable and more convenient. The
dissemination and fine-tuning of these designs will prove to be key
elements in unleashing the potential of American cities to achieve
world-class levels of bicycling.
