The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is developing a new Statewide Active Transportation Plan (ATP). The ATP will help CTDOT fulfill their mission of Improving lives through transportation.
The ATP will guide future improvements on state routes for a functional, equitable, and safety-focused active transportation network and recommend supportive programs and policies. The ATP will serve as a strategic roadmap for developing and modernizing sidewalks, bike lanes, paved trails, and intersection improvements on or along state routes to make it safer and more comfortable to walk, bike, use a wheelchair/mobility aid device or human-scaled electronic mobility devices.
Being able to walk, bike or roll for transportation and recreation improves community health outcomes.
The design and operation of our streets, bikes lanes, sidewalks, and intersections can improve safety for all transportation users.
Waking, biking, and rolling does not emit any greenhouse gases.

An equitable community provides the options to walk, bike, roll, drive, or take transit to safely get to their destination.
Walking, biking, and rolling creates vibrant, livable communities, encourages social interaction, and provides convenient, accessible mobility options for everyone.
Explore the elements of the ATP in the sections below. There will several opportunities to get involved.
The first phase includes identifying existing active transportation conditions on state roads, such as presence of bicycle lanes, shared use paths, and sidewalks. This also includes an assessment of the state’s existing active transportation programs.
The second phase includes development of proposed active transportation infrastructure improvements and prioritization of projects, along with potential funding sources. This also includes recommendations for programs or policies that can improve conditions for active transportation.
The final phase includes development of the draft and final ATP. This will include performance metrics to assess success of plan implementation over time.
CTDOT is working to provide every resident from every background with multiple opportunities for equitable and meaningful engagement. Learn more about how you can get involved.
