Mobility Options
The City of Tacoma is working to build a connected active transportation network.
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.
Upcoming Active Transportation Events
Stay tuned for Prairie Line Trail Ribbon Cutting in November 2025.

DOTG offers services, resources, and programs specific to downtown commuters, businesses, and residents.

E-Bike Programs: E-bikes can make bicycling accessible to more people and make it easier to bike with kids, groceries, or other gear. E-bike programs support access to e-bikes and e-bike education – supporting more people to choose bicycling for everyday trips. Learn more at the City’s e-bike programs web page.
Micromobility: The City of Tacoma does not have a shared micromobility vendor at this time, check out the City’s micromobility page for more details on the history of micromobility.

We’re taking a closer look at S 56th St between S Asotin St and Pacific Ave—a corridor identified on Tacoma’s Vision Zero High-Risk Network. Public Works, together with a ...multidisciplinary team, is working to understand current conditions so we can begin identifying opportunities for safety improvements for all travel modes.
We’re also gathering input from students and caregivers who travel to and from Mann Elementary. Your experiences walking and rolling to school are especially helpful.
💬 We need your input. Share your experiences walking, biking, accessing transit, or driving this stretch on Social PinPoint by Friday, December 12th.
Your feedback will help us understand local conditions, identify infrastructure needs, and support future safety projects and grant funding efforts.
Thank you for joining us for Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day at Mann Elementary! Ruby’s courage in 1960 still inspires us to walk with kindness & stand for justice.
If you are interested in organizing a Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day event at your school next year, please reach out... to the Safe Routes to School team at saferoutestoschool@tacoma.gov.
🎃Tonight, our streets are full of tiny monsters, superheroes, and sugar-fueled joy.👻
If you are driving tonight – help keep them safe by taking it slow, expecting & stopping for pedestrians, and giving driving your entire focus! Let’s make Halloween safe and fun for everyone.
Have you noticed more e-bike riders dropping off kids, picking up groceries, or riding uphill with ease? We’re so excited to share that 401 Tacoma residents received e-bike rebates this spring from the City of Tacoma & WSDOT - making this powerful transportation option more affordable & ...accessible!
