We’re working to make it safer, more convenient, and more comfortable to get around Cleveland. Help us develop Cleveland Moves, our guiding strategy for the next five years.
Where do you already walk, roll, or ride a bike? Where are there barriers that make it difficult or uncomfortable to get around in your neighborhood? What would make riding transit easier for you?
We spent the summer in the community listening to the experiences of Clevelanders. We will share recommendations this fall, and finalize and adopt Cleveland Moves in early 2025.
We need your help to get this right. You can subscribe to our email list to stay up to date as we plan fall events. You can also schedule a 15-minute virtual meeting with the project manager.
Data Analysis
Project Outcomes
Cleveland Moves: Cleveland’s 5-year Multimodal Transportation Plan will:
- Update the 2007 Bikeway Master Plan to recommend a connected bike network that complements the GCRTA transit network for riders of all ages and abilities for 3-year rapid implementation
- Build on the Vision Zero Action Plan by taking a deep dive into bicycle and pedestrian safety issues to identify priority investments to make walking and rolling safer and more comfortable for everyone
- Review existing programs and policies and address gaps related to walking, rolling, and riding bikes
- Develop the look and feel of the Midway Bikeway Network
- Integrate ongoing projects and new recommendations into a 5-year prioritization and implementation plan
Background and Context
Cleveland last updated its bikeway plan in 2007 - and a lot has changed since then. You can read more about our recent transportation history, progress, and vision.
Our Complete and Green Streets Policy requires us to update our multimodal transportation plan every five years, starting with this document. Community engagement and data analysis began in summer 2024, and we expect to adopt the plan in early 2025.
Events
We wrapped up our first round of engagement in September. You can still schedule a 15-minute virtual 1:1 call with the Cleveland Moves manager, sign up for email updates to stay in the loop, or check back here for updates as we plan our next round of engagement.
Project Updates
Summer 2024 - Online map
We created an interactive map where Clevelanders shared walking, biking, and rolling routes. People also highlighted important destinations and barriers that make trips more difficult.
In addition to what we hear through Cleveland Moves, we are referencing feedback received through other processes, including:
City Neighborhood Traffic Calming Request Form
NOACA's Regional Active Transportation Plan, ACTIVATE
Downtown Cleveland Transportation and Livability Study
Ohio City Mobility Study
Vision Zero Action Plan

We also held small group conversations to understand more about infrastructure and policy changes that could support the needs of residents. Conversations included folks who use mobility devices or had unique mobility needs, youth, Spanish speakers, and more. We'll hold more community conversations this fall to get feedback on specific recommendations for programs, policies, and bike facilities.
