Neighborhood Network Plan Logo

The RTC Active Transportation Program is working with residents and local stakeholders to develop Neighborhood Network Plans to make walking, biking, and rolling safer and more comfortable in the Truckee Meadows. RTC’s Active Transportation Plan, adopted in Fall of 2024, highlights the following concerns: 

  • People feel unsafe getting around without a car due to aggressive/speeding vehicles.
  • Crossing major roadways is challenging, unsafe, and uncomfortable for many pedestrians and cyclists. 
  • Many roads lack adequate pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure.

The Neighborhood Network Plans will address these concerns by developing specific project concepts tailored to the needs of each neighborhood with the goal of improving safety and creating a comfortable experience for everyone. These Plans seek to identify quick-build and pilot projects that can be implemented in cost-effective and time-efficient manner. The Plans will be completed over the course of approximately five years (starting in Fall 2024) and will be updated regularly after initial adoption. 

To develop these Neighborhood Network Plans, the RTC will:

  • Gather public input; 
  • Assess current conditions; 
  • Review walking and biking patterns and connectivity to community destinations; 
  • Identify active transportation needs; 
  • Create improvement scenarios with project recommendations;  
  • Develop a final list of improvements to implement in the next five years.
