What is an active transportation plan? 

  • An active transportation plan is a forward-looking strategy to improve walking, rolling, biking and other forms of active transportation (AT) across the region.  

  • The plan: 

    • Builds upon recent AT work, such as the Regional Bike Master Plan, One Region Forward, Moving Forward 2050, and others.   

    • Considers the existing state of AT infrastructure and policy across the region 

    • Gathers input from residents about how they use AT, the challenges they face, and their vision for the future of active transportation in the region 

    • Identifies priority projects across the region to enhance connectivity, safety, and transportation opportunity. 

    • Provides guidance on how to implement active transportation investments in both the short and long term.  

    • Examines the community benefits of active transportation infrastructure investments. 

How can I get involved?  

  1. Take our online survey to tell us about your experiences with active transportation. Remember, everyone is a pedestrian at some point during the day, even if you drive or use public transit.
