Active Transportation Master Plan

Informational Presentation and Feedback

A presentation by Martin Ince, Multimodal Transportation Planner. See presentation for additional informaton. 

The City of Flagstaff’s Active Transportation Master Plan (ATMP) will serve as a guide for enhancing walking and biking in Flagstaff. Numerous existing City plans, starting with the Regional Plan, indicate general support for walking and biking; the ATMP is intended to provide specific direction and detailed guidance.
 
The plan recommends a new way of thinking about and planning for transportation – referred to as The Big Shift:
 

• Takes a broader approach to transportation planning
• Considers multiple community objectives and values
• Pursues a wide range of transportation solutions and options, not just moving cars
• Seeks to enhance mobility for all in the community
• Decreases dependence on cars, while increasing capacity for walking, biking, and transit

 
There are several connections between transportation, mobility, and housing; most directly that reducing the cost of transportation frees resources for housing (transportation is one-half of the housing-transportation affordability index).
 
A community survey is open on the Flagstaff Community Forum, which all Housing Commissioners are encouraged to complete. In general the survey is intended to help determine priority actions, but there is also an option to provide thoughts and comments about the plan.
