Ensuring everyone in Austin feels safe and included when moving around our streets is a top priority in the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan. That's why the City of Austin focuses resources on building out our sidewalk network, developing pedestrian crossings and other programmatic efforts to improve the comfort, safety and connectivity of our city’s pedestrian network.
Pedestrian Focus Areas
- Sidewalk Program
- Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP)
- Vision Zero
- Living Streets
- Safe Routes to School Program
- Urban Trails Program
- Neighborhood Partnering Program
Community Input
The City’s volunteer Pedestrian Advisory Council, advocacy groups and diverse Austinites and groups actively help to shape our work. On individual projects, a public process invites neighborhood and stakeholder input. It includes people traveling as pedestrians with wheelchairs, scooters, or other assistance. The City is continuously upgrading sidewalks, ramps, and the pedestrian network to make it ADA-accessible.
