Overview
The City of Bloomington works to develop a network of safe, convenient and attractive bicycle and pedestrian facilities with guidance provided by the Bloomington Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation and Greenways System Plan (PDF 25.09 MB). These facilities are for all ages and mobilities to walk or bike to their destinations - rather than taking their vehicles.
Choosing to walk or bike will ultimately reduce traffic congestion in the City and improve the health, fitness, and quality of life of Bloomington's residents. The Bloomington Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Commission actively works towards alternative transportation goals by doing the following activities: identifying and alleviating safety issues for bicyclists and pedestrians; educating bicyclists and pedestrians (and motorists too) on their rights and responsibilities; advocating the use and construction of trails, bike lanes, side-paths, sidewalks and other bicycle and pedestrian friendly facilities.
The City of Bloomington is proud to be recognized as a Silver "Bicycle Friendly Community" by the League of American Bicyclists. Less than 200 communities across the country have been given this honor for "longstanding commitments to providing safe accommodation and facilities for bicyclists, and for their efforts to encourage bicycle travel for transportation and recreation." Bloomington was the first League designated "Bicycle Friendly Community" in Indiana.
