Austin Strategic Mobility Plan

The City is developing a new city-wide transportation plan, the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP). The plan will expand the vision of the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan into actionable mobility-related goals and objectives to guide Austin’s near- and long-term transportation investments. The planning process to develop the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan launched in fall 2016 and is being coordinated with other mobility planning initiatives. Following a robust community engagement and technical evaluation and coordination process, staff anticipates bringing the ASMP to the Austin City Council for adoption in early 2019.

The Austin Strategic Mobility Plan survey is currently closed. Stay tuned! We’ll update you about the plan here on this website and in the ASMP newsletter.

La encuesta del plan estratégico de movilidad de Austin (ASMP por sus siglas en inglés) está actualmente cerrada. ¡Manténganse al tanto! Le informaremos sobre el plan aquí en este sitio web y en el boletín del ASMP (en inglés).

The ASMP will include prioritized policies, programs and projects throughout the city of Austin, will be inclusive of all modes of transportation (biking, walking, driving, taking transit, etc.) and will guide Austin's transportation investments for the next 10+ years.

WHY DO WE NEED A NEW PLAN?

Austin is currently guided by the Austin Metropolitan Area Transportation Plan (AMATP), which was adopted in 1995 and does not reflect the vision established in Imagine Austin or where we are as a community 20 years later. Our out-of-date plan puts us at a disadvantage when pursuing funding opportunities for our local projects and does not include more recently adopted plans and priorities such as the Sidewalk and Bicycle Plans, and Capital Metro’s Connections 2025.

WHAT WILL THIS PLAN FOCUS ON?

The plan will include recommended policies, programs and projects to enhance Austin’s transportation network. The recommended strategy will focus on:

Expanding the Imagine Austin vision into actionable mobility-related goals and objectives.
Identifying ways to improve efficiencies in our existing systems, manage demand, and strategically add capacity in all modes.
An integrated approach to planning for all modes of our transportation network.
Approaching transportation access and mobility as essential to quality of life for Austin residents.
Adding performance measures that will track the City‘s progress and ensure accountability.
Considering technological advances shaping the 21st century transportation network.

Who will be involved?

YOU, the City's partner agencies and departments, and other regional stakeholders. Learn more about how to get involved here.
