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.
To toggle on or off layers showing existing, construction-funded, or planned bikeways, click on the two chevrons in the top left corner. Then click the single chevron after each layer name to show what the different line colors and patterns represent.

Join us on Thursday, April 2nd at the Asia Pacific Cultural Center from 6-8 PM to chat about making our streets and sidewalks safer for everyone.
The City of Tacoma is currently considering bringing a package to voters to fund residential street repairs, arterial improvements, and safety ...upgrades throughout the City. Connect Tacoma will replace the $325 million voter-approved Tacoma Streets Initiative, which ran from 2015-2025. This is your chance to share ideas, voice concerns, and discuss how the city should prioritize its future investments.
When we slow down, we make space for kids to walk to school, for neighbors to bike to work, and for everyone to feel safe getting around.
In 2023, Tacoma lowered the speed limit on all residential (non-arterial) streets from 25mph to 20mph because even a small reduction in speed makes a ...big difference in preventing crashes and protecting lives.
Be the driver who drives 20mph.

Be the driver who stops for pedestrians at all intersections.
Even if there are no painted lines, sidewalks, or curb ramps, there are legal crosswalks at every intersection, unless otherwise posted. Drivers must stop for people walking, bicycling, or rolling who are trying to cross.
...
We all deserve to get where we're going safely.
#Youcouldsavealife
Be the driver who looks twice. Most Tacoma drivers already take that extra moment – at intersections, crosswalks and driveways and before changing lanes.
Looking twice could help you spot pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcycle riders, which are often harder to see and closer than they ...appear.
Whether you're turning, merging, or pulling out, that second look can prevent a crash and protect someone’s life.
#Youcouldsavealife
Hold up. What’s the holdup?
That stopped car ahead might be protecting someone you can’t see: a pedestrian, a bicyclist, or a child crossing. Be patient. Your caution could save a life.
Be the driver who stops and does not whip around.
