Indicators of Success:
As a rapidly urbanizing community, the need to reduce traffic congestion and improve mobility is one of the greatest challenges facing Fairfax County. Residents and workers want a variety of ways to move around the community that are easily accessible, affordable, safe, and promote both healthy living and environmental stewardship. In addition, there is a greater focus on active transportation options that prioritize safe pedestrian access and bike-friendly facilities that are connected to mass transit.
The MT highlights below were pulled from the 2025 Annual Report and identify significant progress made to support this area in calendar year 2024. Each highlight is categorized under the relevant Indicator of Community Success, demonstrating our dedication to this area.
Each of the ten community outcome areas will have its own dashboard that highlights headline metrics. These metrics will inform and guide community leaders, practitioners and advocates in making data driven decisions. To help the community better understand and navigate the dashboard, a tutorial video has been created using Healthy Communities as an example.
The interactive dashboard below provides an overview of the six headline metrics for Mobility and Transportation and enables the reader to access more detailed data and a narrative for context and clarity. Headline metrics for the remaining outcome areas are in progress. Data will be reviewed regularly to assess trends, inequities, and alignment with the strategies included in the plan.
Everyone plays a role in promoting lifelong learning within the community, but these key departments and partners drive the way forward—especially in shaping mobility and transportation opportunities that connect people to education and personal growth resources.
