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.

PROJECT VISION STATEMENT AND GUIDING PRINCIPLES
The City of Mountain View will lead regionally by creating an active transportation system that strengthens the community's access to housing, employment, schools and other destinations.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES:
-
Mobility & Connectivity
-
Safety & Comfort
-
Access & Equity
-
Sustainability & Biodiversity
-
Innovation & Action-Orientation
The Active Transportation Plan will enable the City to intentionally plan with policies that support walkable and bikeable places, programs that create a culture of walking and biking, and projects that produce a connected, low-stress and inviting active transportation network that doubles as corridors of shade, habitat and/or public open space. This network of streets and trails will encourage biking and walking, enhance biodiversity, and reduce climate change impacts.
