Connect Key Destinations

Measure

The County will promote better connections by all travel modes between residential neighborhoods and key commercial, cultural, recreational, and other community-supportive destinations for all travel modes through Policies CI-3 and CI-4 of the Circulation Element and associated implementation measures. This measure is connected to GHG-15 and GHG-17.​

​​Status of Implementation

The goal of the County's 2022 Active Transport​atio​n Plan​ (ATP) is Connectivity and Access: Sacramento County residents will have access to neighborhood destinations by walking, bicycling, and rolling and can seamlessly connect to networks in incorporated cities; Sacramento County residents will travel more by active transportation modes.

Several of the ATP implementation measures include:

  • Ensure walking, bicycling, and rolling routes connect to both neighbor­hood-serving destinations—such as schools, libraries, parks, and transit stations—and regional destinations such as job centers and major commercial areas.

  • Make bicycling more attractive than driving for short trips of five miles or less by developing and maintaining a bikeway system that provides direct, safe, and convenient travel by active transportation throughout neighborhoods in Sacramento County with connections to adjacent municipalities

  • Eliminate gaps in the bicycle and pedestrian networks to improve connectivity and physical access between neighborhoods and destinations

The Department of Transportation seeks funding for competitive and formula grants in order to plan, design, and construct bicycle, pedestrian, and Americans with Disabilities Act infrastructure in support of this GHG measure.
