The Regional Veloweb is a 644 mile, designated off-street trail network that has been planned to provide bicycle and pedestrian connections in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The Veloweb alignment, introduced in the Mobility 2010 Plan, was determined through the cooperative efforts of local governments and NCTCOG staff by:
- Identifying existing and funded trails
- Reviewing locally planned bicycle and pedestrian facilities
- Locating routes that would provide air quality benefits or access to transit stations
- Identifying an alignment that would offer the greatest potential for regional connectivity

Regional Veloweb included in the Mobility 2030 Plan.
A news piece entitled "The Veloweb and Bicycle Commuting" aired on WFAA-TV, Channel 8, Dallas-Fort Worth on September 24, 1998. The two minute feature discussed the regional interest in the Veloweb, bicycle commuting, and the role of NCTCOG in providing alternative transportation options for the region.
