The City of Austin is developing a Strategic Mobility Plan to provide the most efficient, cost-effective and sustainable roadway, bikeway, walkway, and transit systems for our community and the surrounding region. This planning process will allow Austin to articulate its local and regional transportation needs. The plan will provide direct input into CAMPO's 2035 Plan and to the Austin Comprehensive Plan Update. The plan will inform potential future mobility bond referendums.

You can help shape Austin's future by attending upcoming Austin Mobility Forums and sharing your thoughts on how we can improve Austin's transportation system.

For more information about the forums, please contact Lindsey Reed by phone at (512) 477-1018 or email us at transportation@ci.austin.tx.us.
