Transportation modes—walking, biking, riding transit, or driving—are the different ways that people get around Nashville. A multimodal transportation network is more accessible, efficient, and equitable than one that works for only one mode.
Many Nashvillians enjoy riding a bicycle for transportation and recreation. Over the past decade, the city has dramatically expanded its network of bikeways and greenways, installed bike racks on all city buses, implemented a bike share system, and most recently passed a bike parking ordinance that requires many new developments to include secure bicycle parking.

uGo Bikeways Map
The Nashville Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure (NDOT) is working on a countywide bikeways map, to supplement the recently updated map "The Groove." The countywide map, titled "uGo", will provide information regarding different transportation options and will be available online and as a printed version. Please take a few minutes to let us know what you want to see on the map.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will access to my property be impacted by construction?
There may be instances where access is temporarily impacted when driveway aprons are reconstructed in conjunction with sidewalk installation. If driveway access is required during this time, the project manager and construction contractor will coordinate access with the property owner during construction.
Will there be road closures preventing access on my street?
Temporary lane or road closures may be necessary during construction of the sidewalk and stormwater infrastructure. If temporary lane or road closures are required, traffic control measures will be in place and access to properties will remain available. In the event a road closure is necessary, detour routes will be provided for managing traffic flow.
Will there be changes to bus stop locations?
Bus stop locations and access may be temporarily or permanently changed as part of sidewalk construction. Coordination efforts are made with WeGo to assure adequate access to transit is provided.
