Programs
Corridor Mobility Preliminary Engineering Reports (PERs), or Corridor Mobility Plans, are a tool the City of Austin uses to assess a specific corridor’s mobility and safety deficiencies, and identify a vision for the long-term future of the corridor based on anticipated growth and City transportation policy.
Through the Neighborhood Partnering Program, Austin residents can work together to enhance the places they live, work and play. More than 80 community-initiated projects have been completed since the program first launched in 2010.
A Parking and Transportation Management District (PTMD) is a defined geographic area that may include a mix of retail, entertainment, commercial, medical, educational, civic and residential uses in which City Council finds that traffic flow on public streets requires a higher level of management than commonly provided and determines that parking meters will facilitate traffic flow objectives.
The Safe Routes to School Program helps children choose human power to get to school. Through crossing guards, education, outreach, and infrastructure projects, we aim to make sure elementary and middle school students across Austin can walk, bike, and roll safely.
The City of Austin is working to make our streets safer, thanks in part to funding it has received through the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant program established by the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
Shared mobility services offer transportation devices for short-term rental from the public right of way. In Austin, there are different types of shared mobility services: shared micromobility and shared vehicles.
The Transit Enhancement Program improves mobility and access to opportunity by upgrading Austin’s roadways to support public transit. Our projects focus on making transit service faster and more reliable, while also improving safety and convenience for the customers who use it.
The City of Austin’s Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Program promotes sustainable, people-centered travel options to reduce traffic congestion and improve mobility throughout our region. By encouraging alternatives to driving alone – like public transit, walking, biking, teleworking, carpooling, and vanpooling – the program helps shift trips to off-peak hours and supports a more efficient, multimodal transportation network.
The Urban Trails Program creates, promotes, and maintains Austin’s urban trails network. Urban trails are wide, paved trails that are typically physically separated from on-street traffic, built to connect with our sidewalk and bicycle networks and designed to provide safe and comfortable way to walk and bike. Our goal is for this network to help people of all ages and abilities travel from one end of the city to another in a safe and healthy way.
