Project Background 

The Placer Countywide Active Transportation Plan (ATP) is intended to create a comprehensive vision that provides more opportunities for residents to safely and comfortably bike, walk, and roll around Placer County. New technology such as eBikes, along with the county’s fast-growing population, has created the need to take a fresh look on how people are currently traveling and how they want to travel in Placer County. This ATP aims to develop an implementable multimodal network that improves the safety and comfort of people walking, biking, and rolling and gets people to the places they care about.

The Placer Countywide Active Transportation Plan is being developed for and in coordination with the City of Auburn, City of Colfax, City of Lincoln, City of Rocklin, Town of Loomis, and Placer County. Note that Auburn, Rocklin, and Roseville are conducting concurrent efforts on active transportation planning in their respective jurisdictions. All work on those plans is being coordinated with the Countywide ATP.

Previous Engagement & Workshops 

PCTPA engaged the community from May to July 2024 through pop-up events at festivals and farmers markets, along with two virtual workshops, gathering concerns about active transportation. We also conducted an online survey and interactive map to pinpoint specific locations for improvements in biking, walking, or rolling. Currently, we are incorporating this feedback into our analysis of Placer County's active transportation network. Here you can find the virtual workshop from July 16th, 2024, regarding the Placer ATP, a presentation summary, and community feedback. Additionally, a summary of comments from the interactive map survey from May to July 2024 is provided below.
