We have a vision where Fairfax County streets, sidewalks, bikeways and trails are welcoming places where people of diverse races, cultures, incomes, ages and abilities feel comfortable using active transportation to safely and conveniently access the widest range of destinations and to exercise, relax or spend time outdoors.
The ActiveFairfax Transportation Plan study took place in Fairfax County from 2020 to 2026 with the purpose of updating and merging the County’s Bicycle Master Plan and Countywide Trails Plan into one ActiveFairfax Transportation Plan. This combined an assessment of existing conditions with community and public input to establish a vision and a roadmap for the implementation of safe, convenient, and enjoyable active transportation in the County.
On May 5, 2026, the Board of Supervisors adopted the new Active Transportation and Trails Plan, which was developed as part of the ActiveFarifax study.

Active Transportation refers to modes of travel that are primarily self-propelled and human powered. This encompasses activities such as walking, biking, rolling (scooters, wheelchairs, and strollers), hiking, running, and riding for transportation or recreational purposes, including the use of e-bikes and e-scooters.
