BIGGEST LITTLE
BIKE NETWORK
brought to you by RTC Washoe
Construction Begins September 2026

The Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) of Washoe County, in partnership with the City of Reno, is preparing to construct the Biggest Little Bike Network in Downtown Reno. The project will create a more connected network for people walking, biking and using scooters, while maintaining access for people driving, accessing businesses, and traveling through Downtown Reno. The Biggest Little Bike Network is made for people who want to bike or walk but are afraid because the current roads feel unsafe or too close to cars. The new road designs will have more space between people walking, biking, scooting, and driving, so everyone can feel safer and more comfortable. For example, with the new network, families will be able to comfortably ride their bikes to the Aces Ballpark or go to events downtown without worrying about parking. People living downtown will be able to ride their bikes or scooters to grocery stores and jobs easily. The network will also connect places like the University of Nevada, Reno, Downtown, and MidTown, so students can comfortably get to school, and visitors and residents can enjoy entertainment and other nearby places by biking, walking, or scooting.
