Biking and Alternative Transportation in Dallas
There are several alternatives to driving your car! Fewer vehicles mean fewer emissions. Fewer emissions mean cleaner air. You’ll save gas and avoid searching for a parking space!
Biking
On-Street Bike Routes—The City of Dallas has a 1,000 lane mile bike route system for commuting and alternative transportation use that covers the entire city. The bike routes were selected by local cyclists as the best way for bicyclists to get around town for work, school, and errands. Check out our Urban Cycling Tips and the Dallas Bike Plan Map online at dallascityhall.com.
Bike Paths/Trails
The City of Dallas Master Plan calls for 230 multi-use hike and bike trails that will connect with DART light rail stations, green belts, schools, business centers and parks.
For more information on Biking/Cycling in Dallas, contact PM Summer, Transportation Alternatives Coordinator/ Effective Cycling Instructor #349 at (214) 670-4039.
Public Transportation

Car Pooling
