Bikeways – PCTPA

Support of alternative transportation modes is one of the goals of PCTPA. PCTPA recognizes that bicycling is important for both transportation and recreational purposes and that it helps contribute to improved air quality, reduced traffic congestion, and a healthy lifestyle. PCTPA monitors bicycle planning efforts throughout the Placer region and also coordinates with SACOG, Caltrans, and jurisdictions on bicycle issues.

In 2010, PCTPA initiated an update to its county-wide bike map and will continue to make those maps available to the public. In 2001 and 2002, PCTPA developed Bikeway Master Plans for all jurisdictions in Placer County.
