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 extensive 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) aims to enhance the City's transportation infrastructure by promoting and facilitating active transportation modes, such as walking and bicycling, for all ages and abilities. The project will review existing infrastructure, policies, and community needs associated with bicycling and walking. This analysis will involve data collection and close community engagement with diverse stakeholders, including local businesses, schools, and community organizations.
Status: Starting in December 2024

Vision Zero programs prioritize safety over other transportation goals, acknowledge that traffic fatalities and serious injuries are preventable, and incorporate a multidisciplinary Safe System approach.
