Percent of all ages and abilities bicycle network completed

Status

The All Ages and Abilities Bicycle Network (AAA Bicycle Network) is a network of protected bicycle lanes, neighborhood bikeways, Urban Trails, and crossings of major streets that allows people of all ages and abilities riding bicycles and scooters to get to where they are going safely and comfortably. Buildout of the Council-adopted 2014 Bicycle Plan AAA Bicycle Network surpassed 50% in Spring of 2021. This buildout is largely funded by the 2016 and 2020 mobility bonds.

Trending

Progress towards buildout of the AAA Bicycle Network continues apace since the adoption of the 2014 Austin Bicycle Plan. Projects often include many other components, including pedestrian crossings, motor vehicle safety and transit access and operational improvements, to deliver multimodal benefits for all street users.

Measure Details and Definition

1) Definition:  The measure is the portion of the total mileage in the AAA Bicycle Network currently complete.

2) Calculation method: This measure is calculated by dividing the current miles of the all ages and abilities bicycle
network completed by the total mileage of the all ages and abilities bicycle network planned for in the Austin Bicycle Plan.

3) Data Collection Process: Current mileage of the all ages and abilities bicycle network is calculated through location-specific (geospatial) data on the state of completion of projects that are a part of the network.

4) Measure Target Calculation: The targets for the percent complete of the all ages and abilities bicycle network are approved by Council in the 2014 Bicycle Plan. The targets are 20% buildout by the end of 2017, 50% by the end of 2020, and 80% by the end of 2025. Annual goals between these adopted goals are linearly interpolated.
5) Frequency Measure is Reported: Annually (Calendar Year)
