About the Active Fairfax Transportation Plan
Fairfax County is continuing its efforts to prioritize transportation for all with its launch of the ActiveFairfax Transportation Plan. Active transportation is self-propelled, human-powered travel including activities such as walking, biking, rolling (scooter/wheelchair/stroller), hiking, running and riding.
Through collaboration with partners across the region, the ActiveFairfax Transportation Plan will:
- provide an engagement effort that provides a wide variety of outreach tools and activities that aim to ensure all County residents’ mobility concerns, needs, and desires are understood and considered;
- develop a vision to help shape the future of active transportation in Fairfax County;
- consolidate previous active transportation planning efforts into one cohesive document that is easy-to-digest and track performance;
- encourage livable street design through the development of tools and products that ensures our transportation network connects people to where they live, work, play, learn and take transit;
- support access to safe, comfortable and connected active transportation facilities (such as shared-use paths, bike lanes and sidewalks) for people of all ages, incomes and abilities;
- provide clear direction to improve safety for our most vulnerable transportation users; and
- begin the planning process to update the Fairfax County Comprehensive Plan.
