E-bikes and E-scooters on Austin Trails Pilot Program
The goal of this pilot is to understand whether Austin trails might be suitable for electric-assist bikes and electric scooters. This Pilot Program will examine how these vehicles impact the comfort, mobility, and safety of trail users as well as trail integrity.
Where will the Pilot Program take place?
Electric-assist bicyles and electric scooters with a maximum capability of 20 MPH or less will be allowed on the following trails for the duration of the Pilot Program:
- Johnson Creek,
- Shoal Creek (south of 15th Street),
- Northern Walnut Creek,
- Southern Walnut Creek Trail,
- The Boardwalk,*
- Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail at Lady Bird Lake*
*Note: the Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail and Boardwalk as part of the Hike and Bike Trail will only allow electric bikes as part of this pilot. The speed limit on all trails is 10 MPH.
Community Engagement
Community conversations, surveys, and meetings will be hosted in spring 2019 to get feedback on the pilot study. In addition, multiple methods of sharing your feedback can happen on this SpeakUp Austin page.
Please see the timeline for additional information on the Pilot Program.
