Active Transportation Plan

ATP.png

Active transportation is for everyone.

It is a way of planning for mobility in our city that considers the needs of parents pushing strollers, students biking to school, seniors walking to the park, commuters going to work, skaters doing tricks, wheelchair users visiting museums, UCSC students carrying groceries by bike, and tourists getting lunch downtown after the beach. Crafting a network of safe, connected places where people can easily walk, bike, and roll creates more vibrant spaces for all.

The 2026 Active Transportation Plan was adopted by the City Council on April 28, 2026. The Active Transportation Plan includes projects, programs, and policies to guide active mobility for the City of Santa Cruz. Taken together, these changes will improve mobility and safety and enhance education, creating more options for people to use active modes of transportation to live, work, and play in the City of Santa Cruz.
