Bike Network Plan
Bike Network Plan
On January 30, 2025, City Council adopted the 2025 San Antonio Bike Network Plan (BNP), setting in motion the transformation of bicycling in San Antonio by providing safer, more comfortable bike paths for those who use bicycles for recreation, work, and travel.
The BNP is based upon an evaluation of all areas of San Antonio. Additionally, it examined current regulations and re-evaluated City programs and initiatives to provide clearer guidance on how to achieve safer streets and account for all transportation modes in planning, design, and implementation of bike lanes as they relate to citizens’ transportation needs.
The plan recommends the construction of more than 1700 miles of new or upgraded bike infrastructure in the coming years, to be paid for by a variety of funding sources.

2011
The 2011 San Antonio Bicycle Master Plan & Implementation Strategy, led by the City of San Antonio’s Office of Environmental Policy, was adopted by San Antonio City Council on September 29, 2011.
$150,000 was subsequently allocated for plan implementation.
2016
Annual funding of $1,000,000 for Bike Infrastructure Maintenance Plan (Bike IMP) begins.
2022
The 2011 Bicycle Master Plan eventually required an update to enhance safety & accessibility, so $2.7 million was allocated in the FY 2022 Budget to update the 2011 Bike Master Plan into the Bike Network Plan (BNP).
2023
Bike Network Plan data collection begins:
- Audit of existing conditions / assessment of bike facility Inventory
- Launch map-based survey to San Antonio residents
- Initiate meetings with transportation partners and stakeholders
BNP Phase I
Phase 1 of the BNP is completed. The public gave insight into their bike riding habits, their desire to ride bikes, and whether they'd consider other modes of transportation in getting to work, school, or other activities.
BNP Phase II
Phase 2 of the BNP is completed. The public was asked to contribute to a brief survey to better understand what kind of bike infrastructure is preferred, as well as potential solutions to biking issues in San Antonio.
BNP Phase III
Phase 3 of collecting input from the public is complete. This phase involved highlighting key connection points between bike riders, future bike riders, and their destinations.
Phase 4: Analyze the data
Using the data and public input, the Transportation Department is designing a comprehensive, safe, comfortable bike network for the City to be recommended to the City Council by early 2025.
January 30, 2025
Bike Network Plan (BNP) is accepted by City Council! There will be an implementation component to the plan to guide future funding and bond efforts in street and bicycle facilities.
