Tips to help make bicycling better:

If you are a visitor or resident biking in the county and come upon a need for bikeway maintenance (vegetation that needs trimming, a pothole, etc.), click here.

Visitors and residents who notice locations where bicycle parking racks, lockers, or maintenance stations are needed can let the Transportation Agency for Monterey County know about those locations, so they can be considered for TAMC’s Bicycle Secure Program: https://www.tamcmonterey.org/bicycle-secure-program

If you’re a Monterey County resident and would like to get involved in helping to improve bicycling infrastructure countywide, by attending Transportation Agency bike-ped meetings, click here. If you’d like to get notifications about other meetings in Monterey County that affect people who bike (e.g., Vision Zero in the Monterey County seat, Salinas), click here.
