The Bicycle and E-Mobility Element of the STP will help create a safer, more bikeable Seattle. It provides a foundation for the City of Seattle to grow our investment in bicycling and e-mobility to achieve STP goals. The STP and the Bicycle and E-Mobility Element build on and supersede the 2014 Bicycle Master Plan (BMP). The bicycle and e-mobility network serves not only people riding traditional bicycles, but also people using adaptive bikes, cargo bicycles for both personal use and deliveries, trikes, scooters, skateboards, roller skates, wheelchairs or other wheeled mobility devices, and “e-mobility” devices, which refers to personal and shared electric-powered bicycles, scooters, and other electric-powered devices. It serves people bicycling and taking e-mobility to serve a variety of trip purposes, such as getting to work, school, transit, the gym or doctor's office, recreating, making urban goods deliveries, and more.

The Bike+ network consists of bikeways suitable for people of all ages and abilities (AAA), including protected bike lanes, Neighborhood Greenways, Healthy Streets, and bike lanes where vehicle speeds and volumes are sufficiently low.  

The Bike+ network is envisioned to seamlessly integrate with the multi-use trail network, which provides connections through or on the edges of parks and opens spaces, where an off-street connection is preferred, or is more feasible than an on-street connection.  

Diagram of an umbrella titled "What is Bike+?" Underneath the umbrella, the following are bulleted - protected bike lane, bike lane (if vehicle speed and volumes low. See Table 4), neighborhood greenway, and healthy street.  Many planned projects from the 2014 BMP have been implemented and are shown on the existing bicycle and e-mobility network map. The Bike+ network shows existing and proposed AAA bikeways on Seattle’s arterial and non-arterial (i.e., neighborhood streets) networks.
