 Title:                Update on Transportation Planning


Background
The City’s Comprehensive Plan set goals and objectives for improving safety and effectiveness of a
variety of transportation modes operating on City streets. In 2022, these goals and objectives were
met with challenges and opportunities, including transit labor and materials shortages, expansions of
the City schools’ parent responsibility zones, and overwhelming backlogs of programmed projects.
City staff has stepped up to roll out quick-build improvements through school zones as part of the
Safe Routes to School Program and to improve collaboration and project execution with VDOT and
our regional partners. Looking at 2023 and beyond, the focus of transportation planning in the City
will shift from responding to present-day concerns to more holistically aligning the City’s goals and
objectives with future actions and projects.

Discussion
A presentation will be provided to council on the current state of transportation planning in the City,
including specific discussion on:

     •    Dockless Mobility Permit Program Update
     •    Charlottesville Area Transit’s Alternative Fuel Study
     •    Safe Streets 4 All Regional Study
     •    Non-motorized Project Prioritization
     •    Transportation Planning in Charlottesville Moving Forward


Alignment with City Council's Vision and Strategic Plan
Transportation planning supports the City Council’s vision statements on Economic Sustainability,
Green City, America’s Healthiest City, and Connected Community. It can contribute to Goal 3 of the
Strategic Plan to be a beautiful and sustainable natural and built environment, and Objective 3.3, to
provide a variety of transportation and mobility options. Transportation planning in the City is guided
by the goals and objectives detailed within the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
