Roles &ResponsibilitiesBC MOT Cycling Policy1. Provisions for cyclists are made on all new and upgraded
provincial highways
2. BC MOT will involve cyclist interests and local governments in highway planning consultations
3. The Ministry will plan, design, and build for the appropriate type of cyclist based on the type of facility
4. Cost will be managed within normal business practices and annual budgets
5. Uniform signing and marking will be provided for cyclists on all provincial highways
6. Cycling Policy will be monitored on a regular basis

Roles & ResponsibilitiesBC MOT Cycling Policy
To integrate bicycling by providing safe, accessible and convenientbicycle facilities on the Province’s highways and to support andencourage cycling. Cycling supports the Ministry’s mandate to provide British Columbians with an integrated multi‐modal transportation system

Current State of Active Transportation
• Cycling is permitted on all highways in this corridor
• Lack of facilities for pedestrians and cyclists on shoulders and at crossing points on urban highways
• Narrow or no shoulders for pedestrians and cyclists on rural highways
