ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN UPDATE
Project Overview
The 2024 Fresno Active Transportation Plan (ATP) updates the 2017 plan to address Fresno’s growth and evolving needs. This comprehensive update reinforces the City’s commitment to improving active transportation—walking, biking, wheelchair use, and other human-powered travel modes—by enhancing accessibility, safety, and connectivity. The updated ATP introduces new strategies informed by the latest data and community input, aiming to increase active transportation use while supporting environmental sustainability, public health, and social equity. It also aligns with broader city planning efforts and meets state and federal funding guidelines, positioning Fresno as a leader in creating a more connected and vibrant community.
Vision and Goals
The 2024 Active Transportation Plan Vision is:
“Fresno envisions a city where individuals of all ages, abilities, income levels, and backgrounds can safely, conveniently, and comfortably walk, bike, roll, or use mobility devices to reach their destinations and access transit.
