In May 1998, the Auburn City Council adopted Auburn 2020: Imagining a Better Community. Auburn 2020 is a long-range
plan established with the purpose of guiding the future of the City and setting forth new goals, policies, and
programs for encouraging and influencing positive change during future years. The Auburn 2020 document was created
with the involvement of citizen volunteers, elected officials, and City staff. Auburn 2020 included the Auburn Bicycle
Plan, which describes how we plan to make Auburn a more bike-friendly community. As a part of the Auburn 2020, the
Auburn Bicycle Committee was formed to further this goal by coordinating with City Departments.
Our Goals:
Establish a structure for coordinating implementation of the bicycle program
goals, objectives, and policies. Develop bikeways, trails, and other safe physical facilities for bicycle transportation. Coordinate with local organizations and institutions to develop programs to inform
the public regarding Alabama bicycle traffic laws, safe bicycle operation, and recommended engineering standards. Establish an active enforcement program regarding Alabama traffic laws. Encourage people to bicycle frequently as an alternative mode of transportation.
