Transportation Plans & Studies
Overview
The City of Cupertino's Transportation Division develops a wide range of transportation planning documents. These documents outline the City's strategies for improving mobility, enhancing safety, and encouraging sustainable transportation alternatives for residents and visitors.
These plans are developed through outreach efforts such as public workshops, surveys, and stakeholder meetings. These methods allow the City to gather feedback on key issues like congestion, pedestrian safety, bike routes, transit access, and individual transportation projects.
When adopted, these documents reflect the community's vision and help city officials make informed decisions on future projects and programs in a way that aligns with public needs and the City's goals.
The Cupertino Active Transportation Plan (ATP) is a data-driven plan that aims to enhance the City's multimodal transportation network for people of all ages and abilities.
