Derived from FDOT’s Roadway Characteristics Inventory (RCI) data published by Transportation Statistics Office on September 2014, FDOT‘s aerial county photography, FDOT Districts data and other external sources. Districts Staff used these data to perform a gap analysis and identify portions of US 1, US 90, and US 90 ALT, and US 15 that have bike lanes and/or shoulders next to the travel lane, with shoulder width range within 3.5 ft and 6.5 ft. These road segments were considered part of the US Bike Route, pending verification. Any identified gaps in the route were further analyzed to determine whether the travel lanes could be shared with cyclotourists or not. If they could not be shared, alternative routes were identified.</span><font face='Avenir Next W01, Avenir Next W00, Avenir Next, Avenir, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif'><span style='font-size: 17px;'>The US Bike Route designation was approved by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) in November 2014.</span></font>
