City of San Antonio Bicycle Network Plan

RS&H served as the prime consultant for the City of San Antonio’s award-winning 2025 Bike Network Plan, a comprehensive effort to transform the city’s approach to bicycle infrastructure and active transportation. The plan lays the foundation for a visionary, nearly 2,000-mile citywide bicycle network designed to improve connectivity, enhance multimodal mobility, and support long-term sustainability goals.

By focusing on the development of safe, continuous, and well-integrated bike facilities, the plan aims to create a more accessible transportation system that serves people of all ages and abilities. RS&H worked closely with city staff, community stakeholders, and the public to evaluate existing conditions, identify gaps in the network, and prioritize investments that maximize impact. The plan not only supports daily commuting and recreational riding but also strengthens access to key destinations such as schools, employment centers, transit hubs, parks, and commercial districts.

In addition to promoting healthier lifestyles and increased physical activity, the 2025 Bike Network Plan helps reduce traffic congestion and greenhouse gas emissions by encouraging alternatives to single-occupancy vehicle trips. The plan incorporates data-driven decision-making, equity-focused analysis, and best practices in facility design to ensure that implementation results in a high-quality, connected system that improves safety, promotes mode shift, and expands mobility options for all residents.
