WELCOME
The City of Mountain View is kicking off work on the Active Transportation Plan, which will provide a roadmap of projects and policies to support walking, rolling, and biking in the City of Mountain View.
The Active Transportation Plan aims to update and bring together the previously completed Pedestrian Master Plan and the Bicycle Transportation Plan, and will also incorporate green treatments as much as possible.
