Accomplishments<\/h2>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Schaumburg\u2019s forward-looking and award-winning Bicycle Program was developed in 1979 with creation of a Bikeways Advisory Committee and development of a comprehensive map detailing locations for current and future bike paths\/routes. It was during the 1970s that the village adopted a multimodal approach to transportation planning with the integration of bicycling as one of the key components to create a more livable community. The last major revision to the Comprehensive Bike Plan<\/a> was in 1999; however, there have continued to be edits and updates throughout the years. In 2011, the village received funding for review of the Plan by the Active Transportation Alliance (ATA) who provide the village with a document of suggested updates. The village anticipates enacting many of the suggested actions over the years to come.<\/p>\n

Among the accomplishments, Schaumburg was the first community in Illinois to require bicycle parking be a part of many of the new developments that were springing up in the village. Schaumburg was also the first community in Illinois recognized by the League of American Bicyclists as a Bicycle Friendly Community, and was re-certified with a Bronze level designation by the League in its most recent review of our program.<\/p>\n

Advocacy<\/h2>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In addition to internal efforts to promote bicycling through our Bicycle Program, the village sponsors many public events during bike month<\/a> that include the Business Bike Classic and the Fahrrad Tour von Schaumburg. The Village of Schaumburg is also a member of Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning\u2019s Bike and Pedestrian Task Force<\/a> and the Northwest Municipal Conference Bicycle Committee<\/a>. Schaumburg has also engaged the community with programs like the Adopt-A-Bike Path Program<\/a>, which boasts participation by over 200 persons to help maintain the pristine nature of Schaumburg\u2019s bike paths.<\/p>\n

As Schaumburg\u2019s bike paths near build out (90+ miles of bike paths and lanes along with 1,000+ bike parking racks and locker spaces), the focus has expanded to further advancing connections within our community and links with our neighbors as well as advocacy. With representation on Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning\u2019s (CMAP) Bike and Pedestrian Task Force and the Northwest Municipal Conference\u2019s Bike Planning and Policy Committee as well as continued dedication and commitment to bicycling, Schaumburg will remain a preeminent leader in bikeway planning.<\/p>\n

Schaumburg\u2019s Bikeway Advisory Committee<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Schaumburg\u2019s Bikeways Advisory Committee continues to guide the development of Schaumburg\u2019s Bicycle Program. The Committee is composed of Schaumburg residents, a Hoffman Estates resident, a member from Schaumburg\u2019s Zoning Board of Appeals, the Plan Commission, the Park District, and School District 54, and staffed by Schaumburg\u2019s Transportation, Engineering and Public Works, and Police Departments.<\/p>\n

With this early green effort continuing to flourish, Schaumburg now has: 90 miles of bike path, 1,000 bike parking rack and locker spaces, bicycle racks on village trolleys, bicycle parking at the Metra Station and the Northwest Transportation Center, a community-based bicycle club, and links with each of our neighbors and throughout the Chicago region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
