The 2009 Bike Plan also spells out policies and actions for bike parking, bicycle-related law enforcement, bicycle education (for people biking and driving), bicycle parking, transit access, and other improvements to the overall bicycling environment. Coordination and collaboration by SFMTA with other public agencies and community groups will be essential to assure success in implementing the Bike Plan's many elements, but the payoff will be tremendous.
