1) The town has been participating in the Cape Cod Commission's Outer Cape Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan process, which is a collaboration between the three outer cape towns of Provincetown, Truro, and Wellfleet with the Commission and the Cape Cod National Seashore. The goals are to create a separated bike trail (where possible) to continue to the Cape Cod Rail Trail all the way to Provincetown and to aid the towns in developing local bike routes and end-of-trip facilities. The final report was issued in February 2017 and adopted in October 2017 as the Town's Master Plan by the Board of Selectmen.

2) A 2016 Parking & Circulation Study done for the town by the Cape Cod Commission identified a number of bicycle improvements, and three have already been implemented: additional bike racks, sharrows and bike lanes on Shank Painter Road, and sharrows on Conwell Street.
