% Bicycle Facility Coverage
Updated Using 2023 Data

This measure identifies the share of non-limited access roads on the State Highway System that have bicycle facilities on one or both sides of the road.

Methodology

Methodology: % Bicycle Facility Coverage

The bicycle facilities include the non-limited access SHS with a designated bike lane, a shared-use path or a paved shoulder greater than or equal to 4 feet but less than 7 feet on either side. The percent of bicycle facility coverage quantifies the percentage of centerline miles of tracked non-freeway facilities that have bike lanes, paved shoulders, or shared-use pathways available to bicyclists. Decreases in bicycle facility coverage can be due to the installation of lane departure warning devices, including rumble strips, warning stripes, or reflectors which no longer fit the definition of a bicycle facility. In the formula below, a limited number of non-SHS roadways deemed of interest to FDOT is included.

Calculation

`"% Bicycle Facility Coverage" = (∑ "Bicycle Facility Miles")/(∑ "Non-Limited Access Centerline Miles") x 100`

Definitions

Definitions: % Bicycle Facility Coverage

  • Bicycle Facilities: Roadway with paved shoulder ≥ 4' and < 7' or a shared-use path on either side of a roadway.

  • Reporting Periods
    • Yearly: Includes all the calendar days in a year.
  • Shared-Use Paths: Paved facilities physically separated from motorized vehicular traffic by an open space or barrier and are either within the highway right of way or an independent right of way.
