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.

Vision Zero: The City’s work on Vision Zero aims to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries in the City of Tacoma by 2035.
Bike Month: Tacoma and Pierce County celebrate Bike Month each May; check out the City’s Bike Month web page for the latest information on Bike Month resources and events.
Downtown On the Go: Downtown On the Go (DOTG) is the transportation advocate for Downtown Tacoma. DOTG offers services, resources, and programs specific to downtown commuters, businesses, and residents. Downtown On the Go also leads the implementation of the Commute Trip Reduction program in the City of Tacoma.
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.
