Comprehensive Transportation Plan

Overview

The Comprehensive Transportation Plan is the City's long-range plan for developing its transportation system over the next 20 years. It is an element of the City's overall Comprehensive Plan and is a tool to evaluate and improve the transportation system in Auburn. The Comprehensive Transportation Plan is a multi-modal plan, addressing the street system, the non-motorized system (pedestrians, bicyclists & equestrians), and the transit system (buses & commuter rail).

The Comprehensive Transportation Plan was amended on December 7, 2009 and will continue to be amended annually as needed. The Plan contains a needs assessment and set of future recommendations for all modes, as well as policies and funding strategies to guide implementation of the Plan. The City examined existing roads, transit services, and non-motorized travel facilities and projected the community's mobility needs into the future to identify conditions in the year 2030. The City also looked at current and future needs related to pedestrian access, recreation, freight movement, transit service, roadway congestion and safety.

During development of the Plan, input was sought from a citizen advisory committee, the City Council, and community members.  The City also held a citywide open house, and staff attended several neighborhood meetings to speak about the Plan.

The Comprehensive Transportation Plan reflects the needs and sensibilities of the Auburn community and, in doing so, seeks to:

  • Enhance the quality of life for all Auburn residents
  • Encourage healthy community principles through non-motorized travel
  • Promote a transportation system that supports local businesses and enhances economic development opportunities
  • Create a transportation system that is thoughtfully designed and welcoming to visitors
  • Provide a balanced, multi-modal transportation system that addresses local and regional needs
