The County of Orange is developing an Active Transportation Plan (ATP) that will establish a vision and a roadmap for the implementation of pedestrian and bicyclist facilities within the County’s unincorporated communities and along County-owned flood control channels. By planning a safe and convenient active transportation network, the plan’s goal is to connect more people with jobs, goods, services, and public transit networks without the use of a car, thereby improving public health, and reducing environmental impacts from vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Here’s information and an invitation for the next steps to participate in OC Public Works Active Transportation Planning Workshops.
Also, there is a link to an interactive map, where residents can note areas of particular concern for bike riders and pedestrians in our community. We are the eyes and ears – and this is an easy way to become involved – please share your insights here.Â
The RHA will be monitoring and/or participating in the January 25th workshop, and we invite any interested residents to register for the online session, as well. Remember, as an Unincorporated Community, WE – the residents play a big part in shaping our future. Become a (more)informed citizen, sharing our privilege and rights of participatory governance.
Development of this plan is funded in part by the FY 2020-21 Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Program.
