The Plan will identify and analyze priority routes for enhancing bicycle tourism along rural and scenic state highways and local roads, with an eye to improving travel conditions for all modes. The final deliverable will be a report and list of recommendations for priority improvements based on a planning process that includes community outreach to diverse area residents, including business and property owners, travel bureaus, local policy makers, bike shops and bicycle clubs, and other stakeholders. The Plan will also identify strategies for promoting the region’s bicycle tourism opportunities and encouraging economic development around tourism.
TCTC is leading this effort and will be responsible for procurement of consultant services and administration of the grant. This project is anticipated to begin in 2019.
