The 2011 Dallas Bike Plan is a community–driven planning effort to update the 1985 Dallas Bike Plan. It's an innovative bicycle “master plan” that uses an implementation strategy and a set of recommendations for complimentary bicycle policies and programs. The Dallas Bikeway System includes on-street and off-street bicycle routes.

Recommendations for the context-appropriate designation of on-street bicycle facility types was done with the help of professional bicycle planning consultants, with national bicycle facility best practices and standards. The plan’s implementation strategy includes a list of demonstration/early implementation projects, as well as the general prioritization of projects for future implementation. The Plan was adopted as a policy guide by the Dallas City Council on June 8, 2011.

With the North Central Texas Council of Governments as the City’s partner, this plan recommends inter-jurisdictional connections as a part of the Bikeway System network. It is also a design guide “addendum” to compliment Dallas Complete Streets and is a bicycle planning “template” recommended for other municipalities within the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
