Bikeways Planning

Regional Bikeways Planning

Over 400 miles of recommended regional bikeway corridors were identified as part of a countywide effort involving OCTA, the Orange County Council of Governments, local jurisdictions, and bicycle stakeholders. The process to build consensus on these regional bikeways began in 2011 through a series of studies for four different subareas of Orange County: North, West/Central, South, and the Foothills.  A map of the regional bikeway corridors and the completed studies are available below.

Regional bikeway implementation is ongoing.  OCTA’s role in the process is consistent with those outlined in OCTA’s Commuter Bikeways Strategic Plan including:

  • Suggesting regional priorities for optimal use by local jurisdictions

  • Assisting in coordinating plans between jurisdictions

  • Providing planning and design guidelines; and

  • Participating in outreach efforts to encourage bicycle commuting
