Napa Countywide Active Transportation Plan
With extensive input from the community and deep guidance from stakeholder agencies, the Napa Countywide Active Transportation Plan establishes a vision for walking, bicycling and other non-automotive transportation options such as e-bikes and e-scooters throughout the county. The Plan documents the existing environment, presents a thoughtful set of recommended projects and other strategies, and includes an achievable implementation plan to make active transportation safer, more accessible, and more convenient for residents and visitors to the region.
Over the course of more than a year, NVTA and local jurisdiction staff have supported extensive community engagement to inform the projects, programs, and policies included in the draft Plan. Nearly 2,000 community members were engaged in the plan development process, with more than 700 comments received through online surveys, interactive maps, and more than 30 separate in-person and virtual events, presentations, and public meetings.
The Napa Countywide Active Transportation Plan is structured to include countywide guidance and policies to inform implementation of projects and programs throughout Napa County’s communities, as well as individual chapters specific to each of the six jurisdictions – the County of Napa, and Cities of Calistoga, St. Helena, Napa, American Canyon, and Town of Yountville. Jurisdiction-specific chapters have been crafted to support countywide goals and are to be adopted by each jurisdiction to guide local planning and investments in projects and programs.
The Plan was adopted by the NVTA Board on April 15th, 2026. Following adoption by the NVTA Board, local jurisdictions are advancing efforts to adopt the plan locally. The final Countywide Plan can be accessed below.
Over the course of nearly two years, the project team developed numerous maps, presentations, and other materials to support public engagement in the Plan, utilizing the dedicated Plan website, www.NapaATPlan.org as a single point of engagement and a resource for stakeholders and interested parties. Key documents, including the Final Countywide AT Plan, are linked below.
