Our Work in Motion
Explore real-world examples of how we support and advance active transportation networks in communities across Central Florida.
The Healthy West Orange Trails Connection (HWOTC) is a collaborative active transportation initiative facilitated by Bike/Walk Central Florida. HWOTC brings together local governments, agencies, organizations, and community stakeholders to support a connected, regional trail network in West Orange County.
Through HWOTC, partners work together to:
Support long-range trail planning and evaluation
Strengthen coordination across jurisdictions
Advance connections between existing and future trails
Share data, mapping, and engagement tools that support trail development
This collaborative approach helps align planning, funding, and community priorities to create a more seamless active transportation network for residents and visitors alike.
Mapping & Wayfinding Resources
Bike/Walk Central Florida partners with communities to create clear, easy-to-use maps and materials that help people navigate and understand active transportation networks.
This support can include:
Public-facing materials designed for easy sharing and wayfinding
Trail and route maps highlighting connections, destinations, and trailheads
Collaboration with local stakeholders to ensure accuracy
Delivery of files so materials can be updated and reused over time
These resources help improve visibility, wayfinding, and public understanding of how walking, biking, and rolling networks connect.
