City of Irvine Strategic Active Transportation Plan

The plan is intended to guide the development of facilities for pedestrians and bicyclists that improve safety, enhance accessibility, create healthy options, and bolster economic and environmental sustainability.

Our planning team led the Strategic Active Transportation Plan development with a focus on: identifying local specific treatments to refine pedestrian and bicycle improvements, and enhancing Irvine’s regional system significance; improving the overall safety of active transportation users within the City of Irvine; helping people access employment, education, health care, and recreation resources and developing a supportive culture for walking and biking; providing opportunities to help people improve their health by including walking and biking in their daily routine and by offering more active transportation options and facilities; and investing in active transportation infrastructure options that enhance the City and avoid economic losses related to congestion, collisions, pollution, and public health costs.

Throughout the life of this project, our project team hosted community engagement opportunities; Project Development Team (PDT) and Project Management Team (PMT) meetings; developed a diverse stakeholder base; and published an online project survey and data mapping tool. These outreach efforts were integral in the development of active transportation improvements that represent community needs.
