Volusia County Bicycling Map for the Experienced Cyclist

The Volusia County Bicycling Map for the Experienced Cyclist was adopted by the Volusia County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) on February 24, 2009.  The map is a portable, graphic representation of bicycle facilities and suggested bicycle routes in Volusia County.  It is intended for use as a navigation tool for experienced bicyclists and the general public. 

The map was created by the Volusia County MPO in cooperation with county and city governments in Volusia County, Florida Department of Transportation, Florida Freewheelers, Inc., Bike Florida, Inc., Florida Bicycle Association, various local bicyclists and transportation professionals. 

The Volusia County Bicycling Map for the Experienced Cyclist is available free of charge (starting May 15, 2009) from the Volusia County MPO.  To view the map in PDF format click on the links below:

The Volusia County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is a policy-making board comprised of representatives from local government and transportation authorities that review transportation issues. Although these individuals come to the table with multiple, and sometimes conflicting perspectives, they work together to establish local and regional priorities for the transportation improvements that are eligible for state and federal funding.

To assist them in their decision-making process, the MPO board members rely upon committee members and support staff as well as active participation from interested citizens concerned business representatives, special action groups and other voices in the community. This web site is intended to help facilitate public participation by providing citizens with an opportunity to review the plans and programs of the MPO and to provide comments regarding these activities.
