TO: PPACG Transportation Advisory Committee

FROM: Jason O’Brien, Sr Transportation Planner

SUBJECT: ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN

ACTION REQUESTED: Information Only


SUMMARY

Work began on the Active Transportation Plan in fall of 2023. To date, the project team led by Olsson has completed a review of member plans, data collection, an extensive stakeholder process and early public process, and draft priority corridors. More recently, a draft Active Transportation Plan document has been assembled for early review by TAC.

The project team is seeking review of the draft document and comment on updated active transportation network and priority corridor maps, as well as any additional input on proposed regional trail cross sections. A data-driven active transportation demand analysis for the corridors is also included here for review.

This Plan has previously gone before TAC in March and June 2024 and was the subject of a TAC workshop in April.
