Plan Goals

The goals for the Cupertino Active Transportation Plan are meant to guide the outcomes of the plan and the actions of City staff in bringing the plan to life. During our first phase of outreach, we asked the public to help shape and prioritize these goals. You can read more about our Goals & Objectives here.

Safety

Consistent with the Vision Zero Action Plan, pursue an active transportation network that reduces the number of serious and fatal crashes involving pedestrians, bicyclists, and other active transportation users to zero. Enact measures to anticipate human error and minimize the impact of traffic crashes for all roadway users.

Accessibility

Provide a well-connected multimodal transportation network that offers comfortable and convenient walking and biking options to key destinations for all residents and visitors in the City.

Maintenance

Active transportation needs should be considered and integrated in all City roadway maintenance activities.

Sustainability

Advance environmental quality and economic prosperity for the City by providing inviting active transportation facilities that encourage frequent usage and improve adoption of all non-vehicle modes of travel, resulting in a reduction in Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) and Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHGs).

Multimodal Balance

Consider multimodal priorities and impacts of all projects to improve sustainable transportation options throughout the City. Limit impacts to all other modes whenever possible, including transit and personal vehicles.

Fairness

Provide a multimodal transportation system that is equally distributed across all neighborhoods in Cupertino.
