Bicycle Friendly Community

Claremont, CA | Bronze Level

Community Highlights: Claremont has taken sustainable transportation seriously in its redevelopment and growth plans. The city has leveraged Safe Routes to School funding for road diets, bike lanes and intersection improvement. The Claremont Wilderness Park has ten miles of mountain bike trails and five miles of shared use pathways.

Most Significant Recent Accomplishment: Claremont secured $495,000 through the Bicycle Transportation Account (BTA) program for the implementation of a bicycle traffic center at the Historic Claremont Depot and for the construction and installation of bicycle improvements within the City’s 1.5 square miles designated Bike Priority Zone. The bike center will make commuting safer and feasible by providing commuters with secure bicycle parking, bicycle repairs and services, and transit information. This facility will be the first of its kind within Los Angeles County.
