South Coast Bikeway

South Coast Bikeway The South Coast Bikeway will be a 50-mile system of bike paths from Rhode Island to Cape Cod. Get people excited about a regional bikeway.

Where we began
The South Coast Bikeway Alliance was formed in March of 2011 to build upon momentum for the creation of a regional bikeway system eventually linking area cities and towns. It was launched jointly by Fall River and New Bedford Mass In Motion, municipal initiatives focused on improving active living policies, systems and environments

The Southcoast Bikeway Alliance now stands gratefu

lly on the shoulders of those who have labored before us to complete bikepath segments in Fall River, Fairhaven and Mattapoisett, the first 5 miles of this regional vision. Where we are Going
The resulting bikeway will:
Increase recreational resources, Improve the health of area residents, Provide an alternative transportation
route for regional commuters, Encourage economic development
