Through this plan, we will identify and prioritize infrastructure and program recommendations to make San Mateo County a better place to walk and bike. We will do this by studying existing infrastructure, past planning efforts, transportation data, and your ideas for improving walking and bicycling within unincorporated parts of San Mateo County. Then, we’ll propose a network of walking and bicycling facilities that are safe, comfortable, and convenient for everyone. We need your help to understand particular trouble spots this plan should address. The plan will also consider programs, policies, and funding strategies that can help to get more people walking and biking safely.

The plan will help to make it safer, more comfortable, and convenient to walk and bike in places across San Mateo County. It will also help us achieve our sustainability goals around Active Transportation, Commute Alternatives, and Climate Change, and the San Mateo County community’s Shared Vision for 2025.

The plan will identify projects, improvements, and programs to provide safe and accessible infrastructure that encourages more walking and biking in San Mateo County. Recommendations in the plan may include financial investments, design guidelines, implementation plans, safety improvements, and encouragement programs. 

Through collaboration with the community and key stakeholders, the plan will identify existing barriers to walking and bicycling in unincorporated San Mateo County and propose new projects and programs to close these gaps.

The plan is funded through a Caltrans Sustainable Communities Grant. Projects identified in the plan will be funded through a variety of implementation actions and funding sources. This may include regional and statewide grants, development projects, and coordination with other capital improvements.
