Bisbee Bikeways strives to create a safe network of shared-use pathways that supports multiple recreation and transportation opportunities, such as walking, bicycling, inline skating and people in wheelchairs.
The envisioned shared-use pathways will safely connect all the residents of the Bisbee area, including Naco, to necessary resources and recreation, while increasing the overall health of the community, and lessening its carbon footprint.

Bisbee Bikeways is a project of the 501c3 nonprofit Ecotopia whose mission is to "enhance the public health and sustainability of Cochise County".
Bisbee Bikeways is dedicated to improving the quality of life for all citizens by increasing roadway capacity and user mobility, strengthening the town’s economic vitality, improving the environment by reducing the carbon footprint, and promoting an active, healthy lifestyle.
This initiative is inspired by a child and a fundamental goal is to get kids outside and safely moving around on bike and on foot.
