The PURPOSE of the 2025 Bicycle Plan is to:

• Update the 1997 Bicycle Plan;
• Identify bicycle facility needs based on quantitative analysis;
• Identify candidate project to address the bicycle facility needs;
• Prioritize bicycle facility projects; and
• Develop a Minimum Revenue Plan based on projected funding.

The MPO prepared a Bicycle Facilities Plan in 1997. This plan examined existing roadway conditions relating to bicycle travel and identified a set of improvements to both on- and off-road facilities for incorporation into the Transportation Improvement Program. The plan also identified proposed long-range and short-range facilities but did not rank projects in order of priority. Available funding was not identified and a minimum revenue plan was not developed.

The 2025 Bicycle Plan builds on the 1997 Bicycle Plan using a series of new quantitative tools to objectively evaluate the transportation network. Bicycle projects were ranked creating a priority listing of roadways for improvements and associated funding sources were identified.

The 2000 Bicycle Road Network is based on the road network developed for the 2025 Long Range Transportation Plan plus certain additional roads included in the 1997 Bicycle Plan. It consists of over 1,500 centerline miles of roadway that are divided into nearly 3,500 segments for final analysis.

Off-road bicycle facilities in Miami-Dade County have been identified in the South Dade Greenways Network and North Dade Greenways Network master plans as well as other projects suggested by local governments or the public. Greenway projects have not been included in previous LRTP updates.
