VISION
Santa Rosa is a city where the active

entire community, regardless of age

Safe Systems Approach as we strive
to reach the City’s Environmental

Recommendations
Citywide
Pedestrian Network Recommendations
Recommendations are
considered planning-level,
meaning they should be
used as a guide when
implementing projects. In
some cases, traffic impact
analysis and more
detailed design analysis
will be required to
evaluate specific site
conditions and develop
designs that reflect
conditions and
constraints.

Implementation Strategy
Capital Projects: include Active
Santa Rosa’s projects in City’s CIP
Quick Build Projects – Where
feasible, the City should identify
specific network improvements or
packaged improvements that can
advance on an accelerated timeline
through quick-build implementation.
Active Santa Rosa recommends
$748,288,356 in linear projects
•High-Priority Projects
$221,213,780
•Opportunity Projects
$527,074,576
Funding Strategy
City does not currently have
dedicated funding source for
implementing recommended
improvements.
CIP prioritization has created
Ped/Bike budgets with
commitments from the
TPW Director and City Council.
Consider various sources of
funding:
FEDERAL
• Recreation Trails Program
• Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development
(BUILD) Grants
• Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)
• Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A)
• Surface Transportation Block Grants
STATE
• Active Transportation Program
• Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities
Program (AHSC)
• Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grants
• State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP)
LOCAL/REGIONAL
• Measure DD
• One Bay Area Grant
• Regional Measure 3
• Transit-Oriented Communities & Climate Program
Implementation Grants
Recommendation
It is recommended by the
Transportation and Public Works
Department and the City of
Santa Rosa Bicycle and
Pedestrian Advisory Board that
the Council, by resolution, adopt
the Active Transportation Plan.
