Shared Use Paths
Multimodal solutions are an integral part of our mobility future
Our sustainable, multimodal mobility transportation options are intended to enhance the experience for all who use our facilities, not just vehicle drivers. With more than 70 miles of shared use paths or sidewalks in place or planned, we’re proud to share these facilities across Central Texas.
