Bike Plan Summary and Goals

The City of San José has a long-standing commitment to the mobility, health, and safety of its residents. The city is transforming into one of the most bike-friendly communities in North America. We're doing that by launching Better Bike Plan 2025.

In October 2020, the San José City Council approved Better Bike Plan 2025. The plan seeks to make bicycling safe and convenient for all ages and abilities in all parts of the city. This will be accomplished by building new bikeways, enhancing existing bikeways, and implementing supportive programs and policies.

Better Bike Plan 2025 focuses on three goals:

• Safety – Increase safety for all people biking in San José and align with Vision Zero San José
• Mode Shift – Increase the number of trips made by bike in San José
• Equity – Apply the plan in a way that serves historically underserved communities

In 2020, the City completed build-out of the 400-mile basic bike network identified in its previous bike plan, Bike Plan 2020, which was approved by the city Council in 2009.
