Infrastructure and Projects
City of Tacoma Bikeways Map
In 2021, Tacoma’s first protected bike lanes opened on East 64th Street. Upcoming projects will help connect trails, transit, and neighborhoods while improving safety and access and reducing disparities in our transportation system.

Electric dirt bikes, mopeds, and motorcycles are increasingly being advertised to youth & their families – but the combination of young, inexperienced riders and devices capable of high speeds on neighborhood streets can have dire consequences.
What families need to know:
...
Know What You’re Buying: Many of these devices are advertised as being suitable for young teens but are either not street legal at all or are electric motorcycles and require users to be 16+ and have a license, endorsement, registration, and wear a helmet. Look for speed & wattage limits before you buy.
Rules of the Road: Ensure young people understand and are prepared to follow the rules of the road every time – including where they are allowed to ride, requirements for stopping for pedestrians, how to navigate uncontrolled intersections, and appropriate speeds.
Safety First: Always require helmets and safety gear. Ensure you’re following best practices for charging & care of batteries & devices.
Check out the E-Ride Guide from the Washington Traffic Safety Commission to learn more about different types of e-mobility devices and what rules apply: wtsc.wa.gov/erideguide/
