Bicycle & Pedestrian Amenities
Information about the Bicycle and Pedestrian Amenities section of the Engineering Division.
Albuquerque is constantly improving and expanding upon its existing bicycle and pedestrian facilities for the enjoyment, safety, health and convenience of its citizens. Efforts for improving the overall system have been recently focused on grade separations with multi-use trails and major arterials, filling in the gaps within the bikeways system to create connectivity, and adding additional bicycle and multi-use trail routes. The goal is to provide the citizens of Albuquerque options when it comes to biking or walking for daily exercise and commuting.
The City has an advisory committee that advises City departments on the needs of people who walk and bike, which is called the Greater Albuquerque Active Transportation Committee (GAATC).
The City of Albuquerque’s 2024 Bikeway and Trail Facilities Plan (BTFP) recommends and prioritizes bikeway and paved multi-use trail projects across the city to make biking a safer and more appealing option for people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. At the City Council's December 16, 2024 meeting, they unanimously passed the BTFP.
May is National Bike Month and Bike to Work Day typically occurs either the third or fourth Friday of Bike Month. The City of Albuquerque hosts the Bike to Work Day event each year, which is an opportunity to try bicycling for transportation. In partnership with our community bike advocates, local businesses, and partner organizations, the City hosts a variety of Bike to Work Day pop-up stops throughout Albuquerque where folks can pick up bicycle safety goodies such as reflective gear, bells, bike bags, stickers, bike maps, and learn more about bicycling in Albuquerque. More information for 2026 programming will be available in early 2026.
