The Tulsa region has made significant strides in promoting bicycling and walking as both transportation and recreational options. Over the years, elected officials have invested in creating effective infrastructure, including roads, trails, and sidewalks, designed to ensure safety, comfort, and convenience for diverse users.
The Tulsa Area Trails System consists of an interconnected web of bicycle and pedestrian trails, maintained by various local entities such as the City of Tulsa Parks Department, Tulsa Public Works Department, River Parks Authority, and parks departments from surrounding areas. This extensive network is a collaborative effort, showcasing the commitment of regional governments to enhance ecological transport options within the community.
To further these initiatives, eleven regional governments have collaborated to create the GO Plan, a comprehensive master plan aimed at developing a pedestrian and bicycle network. This plan aims to facilitate access to key locations, including employment centers, business districts, educational institutions, and access points to existing trails.
For those interested in exploring the trails in the Tulsa area, there is a wide range of options available. Each trail offers a unique experience, with detailed maps and information accessible for trail enthusiasts. Trails such as the Cherry Creek Trail, Mohawk Park Trail, and River Parks Trail highlight the diversity of the trail system. Additional trails include the Katy Trail, Mingo Trail, and Joe Creek Trail, among others, each contributing to the overall aim of promoting active transportation throughout the region.
For further information on specific trails and maintenance contacts, resources are available online, providing an organized approach to enjoying the expansive offerings of the 918 Trail system.
