Help Us Improve Your Bike Ride to Metro and VRE Stations
The Board of Supervisors adopted Fairfax County’s first ever Bicycle Master Plan Plan on October 28, 2014. The Bicycle Master Plan lays out the long term vision for adding bicycle facilties throughout Fairfax County.The Bike Fairfax Wikimapping Project provides commuters and leisure bicyclist the opportunity to help prioritize future bicycle improvement projects. Specifically, we are reaching out to bicyclist to show us what routes are being used to get to Metrorail and Virginia Railway Express (VRE) stations in Fairfax County today. This information will help guide the decision making process on future bicycle infrastructure improvements including wayfinding signage and bike lanes.
The interactive map is open to the public to post their routes and provide feedback until June 30, 2015.
What is a Wikimap?
A wikimap is a web-based crowdsourcing tool that allows the public to provide information in a collaborative manner. This tool allows the public to provide geographical data on a map that can then be analyzed. This specific project aims to collect data on what routes people are using to bicycle to Metro and VRE stations. In addition to showing us the route you take to get to Metro or VRE stations, there is a brief survey that allows you to tell us more details about your commute and how it can be improved.
