The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is excited to announce the launch of the new statewide Bicycle Facility Inventory System. This online, interactive map database includes helpful information about bicycle lanes, paths, trails, and their associated characteristics. This system will better allow IDOT and other agencies to include bicycle infrastructure more prominently in future projects. Further, cyclists and other agencies may access the system to search and collect bicycle facilities data and update characteristics of trails and paths. Sound interesting? Email us for access!

While historically held by various entities throughout the state, IDOT began centralizing this data and will soon launch this sophisticated software to streamline the user experience. The Bicycle Facility Inventory System April 5th webinar can be viewed by clicking here.
