BIGGEST LITTLE
BIKE NETWORK

brought to you by RTC Washoe

Project Phase: 90% Design

Project Map

The Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) of Washoe County, together with the City of Reno, is designing the Biggest Little Bike Network. This project will change the roads in Downtown Reno to make it easier and safer for people to bike, walk, and use scooters to get around. The Biggest Little Bike Network is made for people who want to bike or walk but are afraid because the current roads feel unsafe or too close to cars. The new road designs will have more space between people walking, biking, scooting, and driving, so everyone can feel safer and more comfortable. For example, with the new network, families will be able to comfortably ride their bikes to the Aces Ballpark or go to events downtown without worrying about parking. People living downtown will be able to ride their bikes or scooters to grocery stores and jobs easily. The network will also connect places like the University of Nevada, Reno, Downtown, and MidTown, so students can comfortably get to school, and visitors and residents can enjoy entertainment and other nearby places by biking, walking, or scooting.
