Statewide Active Transportation Plan

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is developing a comprehensive Statewide Active Transportation Plan (SATP) to establish a unified vision for the identification and implementation of strategic active transportation priorities and policies across Texas through 2050.

An active transportation plan provides recommendations for improving conditions for bicycling, walking, rolling or other modes that are typically human-powered, non-motorized transportation, but may also include smaller electric-powered micromobility options such as e-scooters and e-bikes.

TxDOT’s efforts to move people with public transit and active transportation

As our state’s population and economy continue to grow, TxDOT is working to develop two comprehensive plans — the Statewide Multimodal Transit Plan (SMTP) and the SATP — to help Texans get to where they want to go, meet the needs of our fast-growing state and contribute to a next-generation transportation network.

With input from stakeholders and communities across the state, these two draft plans will lay out a coordinated, unified vision for transit and active transportation priorities through 2050 and beyond. Both aim to identify actions necessary to increase mobility and connectivity, account for anticipated population and economic growth, and provide Texans with more ways to move. 

Combined outreach efforts

TxDOT conducted a combined outreach effort for the SATP and SMTP plans in the fall of 2024 to seek feedback on preliminary challenges and strategies for each plan. Outreach included more than 30 in-person pop-up events and presentations throughout the state where our teams talked to active transportation and transit users at community and sporting events, along trails and transit stops frequently used, and even at a high school football game. Electronic surveys and a virtual pop-up site were available for those that were not able to join TxDOT at the pop-up events. Materials, available in English and Spanish, can be accessed on the SATP engagement platform.

A summary of the fall 2024 engagement efforts will be made available on the SATP engagement platform.
