Active Transportation Plan
Respond to the survey and interactive map below to help improve walking and biking in Fremont!
The City of Fremont wants to hear from you! We are gearing up for the new Active Transportation Plan (ATP), the next five-year strategic plan to encourage and promote active transportation use for all ages and abilities. Being able to walk, bike, and roll to the places you visit in your community are part of what makes Fremont a happy city, and we want to know how we can make using “active transportation” in Fremont even better. What is “active transportation”? It’s walking to your local park, school, or transit stop. It’s bicycling to your favorite trail or café. It’s rolling in a wheelchair or on a scooter to visit friends. It’s even just taking a neighborhood stroll for fresh air and exercise.
The ATP project will be a consolidation of the existing Bicycle Master Plan and the Pedestrian Master Plan, as well as incorporate the latest design practices, policies, and infrastructure planning for all active transportation modes (including bicycling, walking, and micromobility). The City’s overall mission is to develop its infrastructure to be safe, convenient, connected, and comfortable for bicyclists and pedestrians of all ages and abilities who live, work, and visit Fremont. Comprehensive engagement with the Fremont community is key in ensuring that the next set of active transportation strategies and guidance for the next five years is successful in fulfilling this mission.
Help us understand how walking and biking can continue to contribute to Fremont being a happy city! Phase 3 outreach has kicked off in May and will continue through June with an online survey and interactive map below, and tabling at the Farmer's Markets in June. You can view our upcoming in-person and online engagement opportunities in the "Upcoming Outreach Events" section. Sign up for the ATP mailing list so that you don't miss any notifications on future community meetings, engagement opportunities, and information on the development of the ATP.
