Introduction
Minnesota has a long and proud history as one of our country's most bicycle friendly states. The Statewide Bicycle+ System Plan is a helpful guiding document to help Minnesota continue to improve.
A lot has changed since the statewide bicycle plan was last updated in 2016 (PDF)(External link). Many more people began bicycling for transportation and recreation during the COVID-19 pandemic. More people are using newer transportation devices including scooters, e-bikes, and e-skateboards in communities across Minnesota.
The 2016 plan and the District Bicycle Plans that followed established the Statewide Bicycle Route Network(External link), a network of envisioned connections that link destinations throughout the state by bicycle. The statewide priority corridors are not anticipated to change as part of this update. Instead, this update will build on the previous plans to identify and remove barriers at MnDOT that make it harder to build safe, comfortable, convenient places to bike.
The updated Statewide Bicycle+ System Plan (Bike+ Plan)(External link) will develop vision, goals, and strategies for MnDOT’s role in supporting bicycling and bike-like modes statewide.
