Bikeways & Plan Updates
Bicycles and Topeka are made for each other, and while bicycling does not work for every Topekan or every trip, it can play a significant role in the city’s transportation system. The Topeka Bikeways Master Plan is dedicated to making Topeka a place that encourages its citizens to use this healthy, low impact, and intrinsically fun form of transportation as a great part of their routine lives.
Bikeways Master Plan Updates
The MTPO has updated the community’s 2012 Bikeways Master Plan which Shawnee County residents voted to implement as part of the Countywide ½ cent sales tax in 2014. Up to $3.5 million of sales tax will be allocated through 2031 to build-out the bikeways network as envisioned by the Plan.
The City of Topeka primarily implements on-street biking facilities within the city, while Shawnee County and townships manage off-street recreational trails and on-street bicycling facilities beyond the city limits.

BIKEWAYS MASTER PLAN
The purpose of the Plan
is to ensure Topeka continues to be a bike-friendly community and help guide future funding that achieves a low-stress/high use bikeways network for people of all ages and abilities. Help us better understand how well the current Bikeways Master Plan is serving the community and what changes or priorities should be emphasized going forward.
