Charlottesville is very walkable. So says the Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center. In fact:
Charlottesville has excellent transit services, provided by Charlottesville Area Transit and University Transit Services. Transit is available within a ¼ mile of 95% of the population seven days a week and operates at 95% on time performance. This ensures that residents of Charlottesville have ample opportunity to access high quality transit that serves a variety of destinations.
I have been riding my bike more and more around the City and while I have no context as to how we rank, I have found it mostly easy to do. Bike lanes aren’t 100% contiguous, but most drivers I have encountered have been friendly. One of the biggest challenges are the stupid bikers. In fact, clients and I watched a bicyclist jump from sidewalk to street to crosswalk and nearly get hit by a car. Think, people!
