Bicycling / Walking
This program promotes, supports, and develops alternative forms of transportation as directed by the Circulation Element, General Bikeway Plan and Vision Plan. The City of Ventura Transportation Section conceives and initiates projects, and is a liaision to the City of Ventura Community Development Department. In addition, staff manages existing programs such as the dissemination of alternative transportation information and safety programs to businesses and special interest groups.
Bicycle Programs support non-auto and auto alternative improvements to Ventura's transportation system consistent with policies of the Circulation Element, General Bikeway Plan and others. Ventura updated its General Bikeway Plan on December 1999. A copy of the plan is available by calling (805) 654-7769.
Biking can be a fun and healthy alternative to using your car for commuting to work or running local errands around town. There are many references available to help you get started. One excellent source of information is called “Bicycling Street Smarts.” This book is available at any local or on-line book store or can be read on-line.
