Implementing a range of projects to promote walking and biking to make our streets safer for all New Yorkers.

With nearly 1.9 million New Yorkers riding bicycles and a need to keep pedestrians safe, the City’s Department of Transportation has a commitment to creating multi-modal streets. By expanding bike share and creating protected bike lanes NYC has been transforming our bicycle network. Since 2014, over 479 miles of bike lanes have been built and a total of 180 miles of protected bike lanes.

The City has also expanded the network of Greenways, which provide safe and accessible corridors for active recreation and non-motorized transportation through parks and on streets. Today, there are more than 100 miles of completed off-street Greenway paths. NYC’s Hudson River Greenway is the most heavily used bikeway in the United States—nearly 7,000 people ride a bike on it every day.
