STATUS REPORT ON TRANSPORTATION
This report summarizes City of Alameda (City) transportation accomplishments from 2024 and priorities for 2025.
It fulfills General Plan Mobility Element requirements for annual public reviews of the transportation system and serves as a combined annual report for the Active Transportation Plan (2022), Vision Zero Action Plan (2021), and Transportation Choices Plan (2018). It also tracks progress on transportation-related actions in the City Council Strategic Plan (2023). These plans set ambitious goals to eliminate traffic deaths and severe injuries; create safe, comfortable, and accessible ways for people of all ages and all abilities to get around Alameda by walking and biking; and reduce solo driving and increase other modes while improving safety, equity, and climate.

Launched Oakland Alameda Water Shuttle
On July 17, 2024, the City and its public and private partners launched the Oakland Alameda Water Shuttle, a bright yellow vessel lovingly known as “Woodstock.” The two-year pilot service travels between Bohol Circle Immigrant Park (at the foot of Fifth St) in Alameda and Jack London Square (at the foot of Broadway) in Oakland. The service is free, ADA-accessible, accommodates bicycles easily, and operates 5 days per week. The first five and a half months of service were a huge success: the water shuttle served 51,400 riders and 10,500 bicycles in 2024. After the initial launch in July, the service frequency increased on November 6, adding 52 more runs each week.

Completed the Clement
Avenue Improvements
Project
The City cut the ribbon for the Clement Avenue
Improvements Project on October 29, 2024. From
Broadway to Grand Street, the project includes a
two-way separated bikeway on the north side of
the street, sidewalk improvements, traffic calming,
signal upgrades, and crosswalk enhancements.
The project completed a 1.2-mile segment of the
Cross Alameda Trail, which is now nearing
completion with 3.5 out of 4 miles fully
constructed.

Transportation 2024 Annual Report & 2025 Work Plan April 1, 2025, p. 5 Safety & Maintenance
Upgrades: Pavement,
Striping, and Sidewalks
Regular maintenance of Alameda’s existing
infrastructure is a major component of traffic
safety and active transportation. In 2024, the City
used maintenance programs to not just repair, but
also improve safety on our streets. The Pavement
Management program upgraded 52 intersections
with safety improvements, including daylighting
for visibility at 27, new high-visibility crosswalks at 20, and painted bulb-outs at 17. The project also
added speed cushions on Versailles Avenue and
upgraded the bike lane striping on Central
Avenue. Together, the Sidewalk Maintenance and
Pavement Management programs upgraded 62
curb ramps and eliminated sidewalk trip hazards
in 395 locations.
Kicked off Neighborhood
Greenways Planning and
Design
During 2024, the City made major progress on
planning and design for a new Neighborhood
Greenways network, which will start with
transitioning the Slow Streets. Neighborhood
Greenways are local, traffic-calmed streets
designed to give priority to people walking and
biking, where bicyclists and motorists can safely
share the road and busy street crossings have
been made safer. The 2024 community
engagement process focused on developing an
implementation strategy and concept design for
the Pacific Avenue Neighborhood Greenway, and
typical quick-build treatments. In 2024, over 2,000
people provided input online and in person on the
project.

Near Completion of the Cross
Alameda Trail
This year construction will continue on final
segments of the Cross Alameda Trail, which will be
a premiere cross-town, low-stress four-mile
bicycling and walking corridor that will connect
the west side of the island to the east, from the
Seaplane Lagoon at Alameda Point to the MillerSweeney (Fruitvale) Bridge. By the end of 2025, all segments of the 4-mile trail within the City of
Alameda will be complete or under construction.
The final segments in progress include:
Clement Ave Extension (Ohlone Ave to Grand
St): Slated to open in Spring of 2025, the
developer-led extension of Clement Avenue to
connect at Grand Street will add a 0.2-mile
segment of the Cross Alameda Trail. This key
connection point will close a gap between the
existing Clement Avenue bikeways at the site of a
former Pennzoil property. With this project open,
the Cross Alameda Trail will connect from
Broadway to Seaplane Lagoon.
Clement Ave/Tilden Way Project: Using
abandoned railroad right-of-way, the project will
extend the Cross Alameda Trail between Broadway
and the Miller-Sweeney/Fruitvale Bridge. In
addition to completing the Cross Alameda Trail,
the project will improve truck and bus routes and
improve safety with a new roundabout at the
intersection of Fernside Boulevard, Blanding
Avenue and Tilden Way. Construction is planned
to begin this year, pending soil remediation.

Central Avenue Safety
Improvement Project
Construction
After more than a decade of planning and winning
almost $15 million in grant funds, construction of
major improvements on Central Ave from
Sherman Street to Main Street began in January
2025. The project includes a road diet with two
motor vehicle travel lanes, a two-way left-turn
lane as a center lane, bikeways, three funded
roundabouts, resurfacing, improved bus stops,
enhanced pedestrian crossings, and street
trees/rain gardens.

Implementation
A new bicycle facility type for Alameda,
Neighborhood Greenways will be traffic-calmed
bicycle- and pedestrian-priority streets where
vehicles are allowed but volumes and speeds are
kept low. In 2025, construction will begin on
Neighborhood Greenways along with ongoing
outreach and program evaluation.

Grand Street Construction
Phase 1 of the Grand Street Safety Improvements
Project will be completed this year, adding a twoway separated bikeway, bus stop, and crosswalk enhancements to Grand Street between Shoreline
Drive and Otis Drive. The project will provide a key
connection and safety benefit to Wood Middle
School for students walking, biking, taking the
bus, and getting dropped off.
AC Transit Service Changes
In summer 2025, be on the look out for
announcements from AC Transit on the
implementation of their Realign plan for service
changes. In Alameda, the W and OX will be
combined into one line and the 19 will be
rerouted to serve Alameda Point. Thanks to
advocacy from the City and community, the 51A
will continue to serve Alameda. The 51A is the
highest ridership bus line in Alameda, including
among participants in the free bus pass program
for seniors and people with disabilities.

Traffic Safety
In 2024, 1 person died and 10 people were seriously injured in traffic collisions on Alameda streets. As of 2023, the City’s rate of traffic fatalities + severe injuries per 100,000 population was 70% lower than the rate in Alameda County and 78% lower than the California rate.
In 2024, 3.9 miles of roadway and 89 intersections were upgraded with interventions like speed humps, new
separated bike lanes, traffic signal upgrades, new curb extensions, new/upgraded crosswalk markings, and
intersection daylighting.
67% of Police Department traffic enforcement stops in 2024 were on High Injury Corridors, with officers continuing to prioritize efforts on dangerous streets.
See the Vision Zero Annual Report for detailed information.
Motor Vehicle Trends
Per analysis of weekday travel by the Alameda County
Transportation Commission:
• Average daily vehicle miles traveled (VMT) on Alameda County freeways increased 0.5% from 2023 to 22.56 million miles in 2024. This is roughly 9% above 2019 levels.
• Average daily vehicle hours of delay (VHD) on Alameda County freeways increased by 2.5% from 2023 to 32,000 hours in 2024.
This is roughly 3% below 2019 levels.
Pavement Condition
As of the end of 2023, the City’s three-year moving average Pavement Condition Index1 is 66, which is “fair condition.” This is close to the Bay Area average of 67, but well above bordering cities of Oakland and San Leandro, both of which score in the “at risk” category.
Bikeways
Alameda added 2.3 miles of bikeways in 2024, including 1.4 miles of low-stress bikeways and 0.8 of new bike lanes. The City now has almost 60 miles of bikeways, including 24 miles of low-stress facilities.

STAFFING, FUNDING, AND GRANT
PRIORITIES
Funding and Staffing Resources
Alameda’s transportation work is funded by a variety of sources. The most significant and stable sources have been from Alameda County Measures B and BB transportation sales taxes and the Vehicle Registration Fee (VRF).
The tax authorization for Measure B expired in 2022 after 20 years and remaining funds have been appropriated to existing capital projects. These funding sources are combined with competitive grants and General Funds to pay for maintenance, capital projects, programs, and staffing.
In June 2024, the City’s overall Measure B, Measure BB, and VRF fund balance was $10.7 million. The City programmed use of these funds via the FY 2023-2025 Capital Budget, including for major projects that will be constructed in 2025. The Capital Budget process for the 2025-2027 cycle is currently underway.

Transportation 2024 Annual Report & 2025 Work Plan April 1, 2025, p. 22 2025 Grant Application Priorities
To conserve staff resources and focus on adopted plan goals, staff identified possible projects and programs for grant funding and scored them to create a list of priority projects for grant proposals in 2025. Projects were scored based on how well a project meets each of the adopted General Plan Mobility Element goals, plus whether any funding has been allocated to date. Only the top 15 projects are included on the list. The applications that are ultimately submitted will depend on how well the projects match available funding sources, and lower scoring projects may be submitted if they are a particularly good fit for a funding source.

TRAFFIC FATALITY & INJURY REPORT
This is the third annual report on the Vision Zero
Action Plan, which the Alameda City Council
adopted in December 2021. This report covers the
performance metrics outlined in the Plan. For
details on traffic safety and Vision Zero projects
and programs, see the Transportation 2024
Annual Report & 2025 Work Plan.
In 2024, 1 person lost their life, 10 people were
severely injured, and a total of 251 people were
injured in traffic collisions on Alameda streets.
“People of all ages and abilities can
travel safety using any mode, and
traffic deaths and serious injuries
are eliminated by 2035.”
2024 FATAL AND SEVERE INJURY CRASHES
In 2024, 1 person lost their life and 10 were severely injured in traffic collisions on Alameda streets. Every traffic fatality represents a tragic loss for loved ones and the community, and severe injuries can change a life forever.
After every fatal crash, City staff convene post-collision site visits including transportation planners and engineers with Police Traffic Unit leadership. In 2023, the City launched its Fatal Crash Response program, which includes transparent public information about fatal crashes and installs quick-build infrastructure at the sites of fatal crashes as appropriate. More information is at www.alamedaca.gov/fatalcrashresponse.

Vision Zero Annual Report April 1, 2025, p. 6
CRASH TRENDS OVERVIEW
To help understand change over time, the City tracks collision trends over many years. Because Alameda is a small city with relatively low numbers of deaths and severe injuries, a rolling average analysis helps smooth out noise in the data and identify trends. Each data point in Figure 1 represents the average of that year and four prior years, e.g., the 2014 figure is the average of 2010-2014.
Figure 1: Rolling Five-Year Averages, Traffic Fatalities + Severe Injuries by Mode, 2014-2024 Data
STATE AND COUNTY COMPARISON
The City’s rates of traffic fatalities and severe injuries are lower than those in the county and state. Local trends generally match national ones, with increases in fatal and severe collisions in 2021 and 2022 that are starting to go down again.1

VISION ZERO ACTIONS
In addition to reporting on collision data each year, the City tracks progress on actions from the Vision Zero Action Plan. For more information on transportation projects and programs, including street safety projects, see the Alameda Transportation 2024 Annual Report and 2025 Work Plan.
STREET SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
Per the Vision Zero Action Plan, the City prioritizes projects on High Injury Corridors and in Equity Priority Areas.
In 2024, the City delivered safety improvements via annual paving, maintenance, and through capital projects.

POLICE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT PRIORITIZATION
Per the Vision Zero Action Plan, the City focuses traffic enforcement on behaviors associated with severe and fatal crashes and along High Injury Corridors.
• Total moving violation citations and warnings in 2024: 3,677, down 17% from 20232 • Percent along High Injury Corridors: 67%
Traffic Stops by Race
The data below includes the
race/ethnicity as perceived by
the officer. Officers generally do
not collect self-reported
race/ethnicity unless the stop
was associated with a collision
involving injury, an arrest, or
other reportable incident/crime.

STREET SAFETY CONCERN REPORTS
In 2024, community members submitted 410
reports of ongoing traffic safety concerns and
near-miss crashes. The City uses the SeeClickFix
app to collect these community reports.
In 2024, staff reviewed Street Safety Concern
reports along relevant corridors when planning
and designing projects; reviewed clusters of recent
Street Safety Concern reports at monthly Vision
Zero Implementation Team meetings; and quoted
reports in grant proposals. An interactive map
showing Street Safety Concern reports is available
via the Vision Zero webpage.
Self-reported data can favor people with
resources and time, but it still gives important
insights about experiences people have on
Alameda’s streets.

PERFORMANCE MEASURES REPORT
This is the second annual report on the Active Transportation Plan, which the Alameda City Council adopted on December 20, 2022. It reports on the performance measures listed in Table 11 of the Plan for the 2024 calendar year. For further details on active transportation projects and programs, see the Transportation 2024 Annual Report & 2025 Work Plan.

Notes: Source: Alameda Police Department (2021-2024) and Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS, 2010-2020). Previous reporting used 3-year averages. Data from 2019-2022 has been updated to correct previous year underreporting. New APD data methodology allows us to report all injuries rather than injury collisions.
Previous years (2019-2020) with underreported injuries have been replaced with victim-level data from SWITRS.
EQUITY
Measure: Percent of active
transportation improvement projects
installed in equity priority
communities
13% of the 89 intersections that received active
transportation improvements in 2024 were in
equity priority areas. Improvements included new
daylighting, new or upgraded crosswalk markings,
new striped or concrete bulb-outs, and signal
improvements.
21% of the 3.7 miles of roadway that had
bikeway or other corridor improvements added
were in equity priority areas. “Other corridor
improvements” included lane width reductions to
calm traffic speeds.
Measure: Percent of programming
and education in equity priority
communities
29% of active transportation programming and
education events and activities took place in
locations or schools in equity priority areas.
This totals 9 (out of 31) events/schools/activities,
and includes the 4 public schools enrolled in the
Countywide Safe Routes to Schools (SR2S)
program in the 2023/24 school year (each of
which held numerous events during the school
year), 4 of the bike safety education classes, and 2
of the outreach events.
A total of 17 schools were enrolled in the
Countywide SR2S program in 2023/24, and 73% of
this school population identified as non-white or
Hispanic, and 38% of students qualified for
free/reduced-price meals.

CONNECTIVITY AND COMFORT
Measure: Number of intersections
with pedestrian crossing
improvements or upgrades
89 intersections received improvements for
people walking. Improvements included new
daylighting, new or upgraded crosswalk markings,
new striped or concrete bulb-outs, and/or signal
improvements.
Measure: Miles of all bikeways and low
stress bikeways
Alameda added 2.3 miles of bikeways in 2024,
including 1.4 miles of low-stress bikeways, which
include Neighborhood Greenways, shared-use
paths and separated bike lanes (also known as
“protected bike lanes”).
The City now has 59.2 miles of bikeways, of
which 40% (23.9 miles) are low-stress facilities.

COMMUNITY
Measure: Number of schools with
active Safe Routes to Schools
programs
17 of the 18 public schools, or 95%, were enrolled
in the Countywide Safe Routes to School (SR2S)
program1 in the 2023/24 school year. Each school
holds multiple events per year promoting getting
to school safely in a sustainable way, including
walking and biking.
Private schools can access the online resources
provided by the countywide program but cannot
enroll or sign up for services.

Measure: Number of 5th grade classes
that receive bicycle safety education
In 2024, only Bay Farm Middle School participated
in the City-funded bicycle safety education
program.
In 2025, the City will continue this program to
interested schools through end of 24/25 school
year, then consider discontinuing the program
when the contract ends, due to low participation
rates. Bicycle education is available to schools via
the SR2S program.

Measure: Number of new or upgraded
bicycle parking facilities
No new bicycle parking was installed in 2024,
however several racks were maintained or
replaced and all the City’s 134 parking spaces in
shared-use electronic bike lockers were
maintained. The in-street bike parking corrals
along Park Street and Webster Street were
reconfigured or relocated and fortified as part of
the restriping projects on these two corridors.
There continue to be approximately 2,300 bicycle
parking spaces in 825 racks around the city.
Measure: Number of encouragement
or educational events or campaigns
held to support walking + bicycling
16 events or campaigns were offered, either by
the City, its contractors, or the Countywide SR2S
program. Most of these events were bike-focused
and included the major annual SR2S events, Bike
to Wherever Day in May, the annual Bike Festival,
and 10 bicycle safety education workshops.
In 2024, bicycle safety education included a
workshop on e-bike safety, and two adult learnto-ride classes, among other bicycle safety topics.

MODE SHIFT
The ATP includes six performance measures to assess trends in mode shift citywide, since no one measure can provide a complete picture. Data is available for three of these measures at this time, and the overall trends show a steady increase in biking over time, and increases in walking over the past several years.
Measure: Number of people walking
and bicycling at established count
sites and recently completed capital
project locations
There are three automated counters in Alameda,
each of which continuously counts people walking
and biking on trails. One of these is owned by the
City, while the other two are owned by the East
Bay Regional Park District.
The average number of bicyclists per day
increased from 2023 to 2024 at the locations
where the counters were installed for at least two
years.
The pedestrian count data will be reported in
future years, after some irregularities are ironed
out and there are more years on which to report.

Bicycle and pedestrian counts are conducted at
seven intersections in Alameda every two years by
the Alameda County Transportation Commission
(Alameda CTC) as part of their countywide
performance measures reporting. Counts have
been conducted in the same manner since
2016/17 at these locations, including a new count
in 2024. All locations have counts done on a single
day from 4-6 PM. The count locations in Alameda
are:
1. Broadway/Lincoln Avenue
2. 5th Street/Central Avenue
3. Main Street/Ralph Appezzato Memorial
Parkway (RAMP)
4. Park Street/Central Avenue
5. Park Street/Otis Drive
6. Webster Street/Atlantic Avenue
7. Webster Street/Santa Clara Avenue
The 2024 data show that pedestrians counted
continued to be lower than in 2016/17, but
slightly higher than in 2022. Biking was either
stable or increased at all count sites except for
Main St/RAMP which was unusually low for an
unknown reason.
While the Alameda CTC data is collected for a very
short time period, and is only done at seven
intersections, in combination with other Mode
Shift performance measures, citywide trends in
walking and biking may become visible.
In 2024, no new before/after count data was
available for new capital projects.

Active Transportation Plan 2024 Performance Measures Report April 1, 2025, p. 7 Measure: Percent of people walking
and bicycling to transit
In 2024, SF Bay Ferry conducted a passenger
survey which included questions on how people
access the ferry terminal. Across Alameda’s three
ferry terminals, 16% walked all the way to the
terminal and 19% biked or scootered.
For now, SF Bay Ferry expects to conduct surveys
annually to measure ridership changes during the
ongoing COVID recovery period, which will allow
for a timely assessment of trends. (A survey was
also done in 2022, however the methodology was
not easily comparable to the 2024 data.)
AC Transit has not collected on-board passenger
data since before the pandemic but expects to
conduct a survey in 2025.

Note: “Walk” counts those who walked all the way,
not just for part of a trip. “Bicycle” includes
scootering.
Measure: Percent of bicycling and
walking trips to work, and percent of
drive alone trips to work
The three-year averages for commute to work
modes show both walking and bicycling
increasing and driving alone decreasing
significantly, from 2022 to 2023, the most recent
year of Census data.
In 2023 alone, the city met its 2030 target of 3.6%
of commute trips by bike, while walk trips were at
3.7%, very close to the 4% target. While most trips
people take are not commute-related, this is one
more data point for tracking mode shift over time.

FUTURE YEAR REPORTING
Three of the performance measures in the Active Transportation Plan are not included in this report, since there is not yet new data on which to report. The frequency of reporting on these measures is listed in the Plan’s Table
11. The three are:
• Percent of school-aged children who walk or bicycle to school, at least some of the time • Percent of frequent utilitarian and recreational bicyclists • Percent of frequent utilitarian walkers
