SLIDE 28

Charlotte will offer an inclusive cycling environment, where people of all ages and abilities can use their bikes for transportation, fitness and fun. The City will work to extend bicycle infrastructure, educational opportunities, and promotional events to all neighborhoods and households, striving for equitable, affordable mobility options that improve city-wide public health, support the local economy, and reduce automobile dependency in the Queen City.
