Connect RC

People on bikes, people walking on side walk

The Connect RC Active Transportation Plan, a Healthy RC initiative, is an implementation-oriented active transportation plan designed to accelerate the development of complete streets infrastructure, making healthy, sustainable transportation choices more practical in Rancho Cucamonga. Community engagement and feedback have been, and continue to be, essential to the implementation process. In 2023, the Connect RC Bicycle Subcommittee was formed to explore ways to make our community more bicycle friendly. Since then, its mission has expanded to promoting safe, sustainable, and accessible travel for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists alike. Learn more below!

Connect RC Bicycle Subcommittee

Our Mission

To identify, advocate for, and implement practical and sustainable initiatives that promote safer travel for cyclists and others on the streets, trails, and byways of Rancho Cucamonga.

Our Vision

The subcommittee envisions Rancho Cucamonga as a safe and respectful community for all its road users – pedestrians, cyclists, users of personal electronic transports (PETs), and motorists alike.

Who We Are

Various stakeholder groups, including residents and City staff, actively participate in the subcommittee. Membership is open to anyone interested in working collaboratively to make our streets safer and more enjoyable to bike, roll, and walk.

What We Do

The subcommittee meets monthly to support policy development, provide input on active transportation infrastructure projects, and strengthen bicycle advocacy efforts, including organizing community bike rides and participating in other City events.

When We Meet

The subcommittee meets on the second Wednesday of each month from 4:00pm to 5:30pm at City Hall and online via Microsoft Teams. If you’re interested in getting more involved, please fill out an interest form here:

In 2022, as part of the Healthy RC initiative, the City applied for and received a grant from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to prepare the Connect RC Active Transportation Plan, which identifies and prioritizes infrastructure improvements that are designed to improve residents’ ability to walk, bike, and roll to schools, jobs, parks, and other key destinations in the city. Infrastructure improvements include improved crosswalks, new sidewalks, additional bike lanes, incorporating the latest traffic technology, and more!
