Bike Walk RVA Bike Walk RVA is Sports Backers’ program to advocate for comfortable and connected places to bike and walk for people of all ages and abilities.

Bike Walk RVA is the Sports Backers’ advocacy initiative, committed to making walking and biking safe, convenient, and comfortable for people of all ages and abilities. We work to promote the construction of more multi-use trails, protected bike lanes, sidewalks, and safe neighborhood streets so that walking and biking are part of daily transportation in the Richmond region. Sports Backers and the Bike Walk RVA program envision a greater Richmond-area where:
- Walking and bicycling is safe, convenient and comfortable for people of all ages and abilities
- Neighborhoods and surrounding communities are connected by a network of protected bike lanes, neighborhood byways and multi-use trails that encourage bicycling and walking for all trip purposes
- Bicycling and walking are integral parts of how people live, work and play
- People are active and healthy

We are thrilled by the appointment of Heather Barrar to be Virginia's Director of Outdoor Recreation by Governor Abigail Spanberger. We have worked with and alongside Heather for more than a decade on Bikeways and Trails in Chesterfield, Colonial Heights, and Petersburg. The Fall Line Trail simply couldn't be possible without her years of planning and leadership.

Congrats, Heather, and we look forward to working with you in your new role!

We're excited to see more safe places to bike and walk coming to Scotts Addition soon!!

For a decade, Scott’s Addition has been the closest thing to a concrete jungle Richmond has. Now planners are hoping a set of new projects could soften its edges.

Exciting news out of Henrico County!

The 26 slated to receive funding in Henrico are among nearly 100 total transportation projects identified as needs in the county (estimated to cost about $629 million in total). The remaining 72 projects are tentatively targeted for funding in fiscal years 2028 to 2032.

The projects are divided almost evenly between those that are pedestrian-focused and projects focusing on roads, bridges and highways.
