TRANSPORTATION

Coastal Bike Impact works with local and state officials and other stakeholders to improve the area’s bicycle transportation network with the goals of promoting Carteret County and the surrounding area’s appeal to bicycle tourists and making bicycling safer for residents and visitors alike. We survey current road conditions, note where improvements can be made, and provide input on area transportation plans to address deficiencies in cycling facilities.

CBI Mapping Project

Using GIS mapping, CBI is actively surveying road conditions in the area with the aim of developing a safe, area wide bicycle transportation network that is attractive to tourists and useful for residents.

The Carteret County CTP is a collaboration between state and local officials and is the cornerstone of Carteret’s transportation planning. It includes a significant bicycle component. The last CTP was adopted in 2014 and the update to the plan is began fall of 2021. CBI has been given a seat on the steering committee, and will be advocating for bicyclists as the update for the plan moves forward.

Great Trails State Plan

The Division of Bicycle & Pedestrian Transportation at NCDOT is developing the Great Trails State Plan which includes a network of shared use paths in Carteret County and the surrounding area. If completed, this network would be a great benefit to the local economy as well as bicycle tourists and residents of the Crystal Coast. CBI provided comments on the plan in December of 2020.
