Broward MPO Introduces BiKE Broward: An Innovative Way to Plan Your Trip

BiKE Broward is an innovative Internet-based bicycle route planning tool that allows bicyclists to enter their start and end locations and receive turn-by-turn directions on how to reach their destination.

BiKE Broward includes five types of route selections users can choose from, including short, fast, least interaction with traffic, simple and scenic. When planning your trip you can also include multiple travel points along your designated route.

The concept for BiKE Broward began in March 2008 and is funded by the Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization (Broward MPO); it is also a joint effort by Florida International University Geographic Information System (GIS) Center, and the University of Florida’s GeoMatics Program at the Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center.
