"Vision Zero is a strategy aimed at eliminating all traffic-related fatalities and severe injuries while promoting safe, healthy, and equitable mobility for everyone. It is grounded in the belief that no loss of life is acceptable and emphasizes the importance of designing a transportation system that accounts for human error without resulting in death or serious harm. By integrating data-driven planning, safer street design, appropriate speed management, and community engagement, Vision Zero strives to create streets that ensure the safety of all users—whether they are walking, biking, driving, or using public transit."
"An Active Transportation Plan defines a community’s vision for safe, convenient, and connected networks for walking, biking, and rolling. It outlines infrastructure improvements, policies, and programs that encourage people of all ages and abilities to choose active modes of travel for everyday trips. By prioritizing safety, accessibility, and equity in transportation planning, the plan supports the creation of healthier, more vibrant, and inclusive communities."
Introduction
Active Transportation Plans are about creating communities where walking, biking, and rollingare safe, convenient, and accessible for everyone. These plans go beyond infrastructure, they foster healthier lifestyles, reduce emissions, and connect people to opportunities. At TJKM, we see Active Transportation as the backbone of sustainable mobility and vibrant public life, helping cities design networks that work for all ages and abilities.
TJKM’s Approach to Active Transportation Plan (ATP)
Active Transportation Plans (ATP) are more than just bike and pedestrian networks, they are roadmaps to healthier, safer, and more connected communities. At TJKM, we develop ATPs that combine data-driven analysis, robust community input, and best practices in multimodal design to help cities transform mobility for all ages and abilities.
How we develop Active Transportation Plans
Working Together
We partner with City staff, community members, and stakeholders to ensure the plan
reflects local needs and priorities.
Understanding the Community
We study travel patterns, land use, and neighborhood conditions to see where people
walk, bike, and take transit—and where improvements are needed most
Looking at Current Conditions
Our team reviews sidewalks, bike lanes, crosswalks, and transit access to identify gaps, barriers, and opportunities for safer, more connected travel.
Safety First
We analyze collision data and highlight high-injury streets, focusing especially on areas that impact underserved and vulnerable communities.
Listening to Residents
Through workshops, pop-up events, surveys, and online tools, community voices help
shape priorities and solutions.
Creating a Vision
Together, we set goals and policies that guide safer walking and biking while aligning
with best practices.
Funding and Action
Each plan includes clear steps and identifies funding opportunities so projects can move quickly from planning to reality.

With experience developing ATPs for cities of all sizes, we tailor every plan to local conditions and ensure it is implementation-ready.
We use advanced tools such as crash dashboards, ArcGIS monitoring, and Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) evaluations to assess conditions, identify gaps, and target investments where they matter most.
We prioritize vulnerable users and underserved neighborhoods, ensuring that improvements create safe and connected networks for everyone.
Our engagement strategies, workshops, pop-ups, map-based surveys, and partnerships with City communication channels, build trust
and ensure plans reflect community priorities.We ground our work in General Plans, Circulation Elements, and Capital Improvement Programs, ensuring that the ATP integrates seamlessly with existing efforts.
Beyond visioning, we provide clear prioritization strategies and identify federal, state, and regional funding opportunities, positioning cities to secure grants and deliver real improvements.
