SAN ANTONIO – The Texas Department of Transportation is reaching out to the community to weigh in on a draft plan for the future of bicycle mobility in Texas.

TxDOT, using public and stakeholder feedback from last year, developed a plan to guide improvements in the future. The plan analyzes the needs for bicycle infrastructure on the state highway system, prioritizes locations for bicycling improvements and identifies what role different routes should play in the bicycling network, a press release said.
