MDOT Bike Maps Win Awards

Friday, April 4th, 2008

Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) took first place and an honorable mention for their bike maps at the recent AASHTO GIS-T Symposium.

From the MDOT press release:

Michigan is a bicycling paradise with its scenic vistas and miles of picturesque orchards and waterfront. Now, two new award-winning bike maps are available to help plan your next trip.

First Place was for the “Bay Region Road and Trail Bicycling Guide,” which includes Saginaw, Bay City, Flint, and east to Port Sanilac. This map shows “road surface types, traffic volumes, paved/unpaved trails with regional significance, recreational facilities, points of interest, and other amenities that make cycling across Michigan more enjoyable.”

The Honorable Mention was for the “Northeast Region Road and Trail Bicycling Guide.”

MDOT has these biking maps and others on-line as PDFs.  You can also order paper copies of these and county-specific maps.

But, if you prefer something on-line, try the MTGA Trails Finder.
