Greenways provide safe, accessible corridors designed for active transportation and recreation, integrating bike and pedestrian paths within parks and city streets. These continuous routes enhance mobility, support environmental sustainability, and provide public space for walking, cycling, and other forms of active travel. DOT is responsible for the planning, design, and implementation of greenways on city streets, connecting key destinations while ensuring safety and accessibility.
Greenway users can access current bike maps, information on Citi Bike, and safe biking resources by visiting The DOT Bicyclists website. An interactive online bike map is available through Ride the City: New York City, and updated bike maps can be downloaded from DOT's Bicycle Maps page. Additional guidance on cycling best practices and street safety can be found at Biking Rules.
