Pedestrians and Bicycles
More people are riding bikes and walking around Miami Beach than ever before. Approximately 45% of our city residents, commuters and visitors currently walk, bike or use transit as their primary means of transportation. Miami Beach has one of the most robust bicycle scenes in South Florida and active transportation plays a key role in the life of our residents and visitors. City leadership is committed to supporting transportation choices.
Mode Share
On March 18, 2015, the City Commission adopted a progressive mode share that prioritizes pedestrians first, followed by transit, bicycles and freight, with private vehicles ranked third in a corridor-based approach. This hierarchy has shaped the City of Miami Beach Transportation Master Plan (TMP), reflecting the city's commitment to sustainable and active transportation.
Understanding Mode Share
The City of Miami Beach is the only city in Miami-Dade County to adopt such a mode hierarchy.
