City of Chattanooga Bike Patrol
Reinstated just a few years ago as a result of
community support from city bicycle planning efforts, the Bike
Patrol secures downtown streets, portions of the riverwalk, and
provides convenient protection for large pedestrian events such as
Chattanooga's famous Riverbend Festival.

Partnering with local law enforcement to
ensure traffic laws are obeyed in the vicinity of schools (this
includes enforcement of speeds, yielding to pedestrians in
crossings , and proper walking and bicycling behaviors), and
initiating community enforcement such as crossing guard
programs.
Although the Chattanooga Police and
Hamilton County
Sheriff's Department are busy securing our
communities, they also take time to assist in programs that promote
safety. The Chattanooga- Hamilton County Safe Routes to
School effort is lucky to have designated liaisons assisting with
the enforcement component of the program. Included are the
bike patrol, civil enforcement, and safety patrol. These
individuals help provide additional safety when schools have
designated "safe routes", assist in assessing traffic safety, and
when possible, aid in pedestrian and bicycle safety
education. Let's Thank Our Law Enforcement
Officers!
