    Developing a Regional Bicycle Map

    CAMPO has partnered with the City of Austin, Commute Solutions, and other jurisdictions to develop a bicycle routing map covering the entire region. The map is two-sided, and will have the northern half of the region on the front, with the southern half on the reverse side of the paper map. Download the final draft map below and send any recommended updates to greg.griffin@campotexas.org.

    Active Transportation Monitoring Program

    CAMPO has initiated a bicycle and pedestrian usage program, with the Texas Transportation Institute and additional sponsorship by the City of Austin. Data was first recorded in Spring, 2010 in 15 locations throughout the region. Forthcoming data will track trends over time, allowing performance measurement similar to automotive and transit modes.
