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 website, NapaATplan.org includes the Draft Plan, which was released for Public Comment on February 18th. The Plan is currently expected to be adopted by the NVTA Board of Directors at a public hearing on April 15, 2026.
NVTA staff will be releasing presentations, maps, and other documents throughout the planning process. Those documents will be posted here, as well as on the dedicated Plan website, www.NapaATPlan.org. Note that many documents will be considered “Draft” and are subject to change prior to adoption of the final Countywide Active Transportation Plan in late 2025 or early 2026.

2019 Countywide Bicycle Plan (Webpage)
- Each jurisdiction has adopted an individual Chapter from this plan. Locally adopted versions may differ slightly from the linked Countywide Plan above.
2016 Countywide Pedestrian Plan (Webpage)
- The 2016 Countywide Pedestrian Plan also has an individual Chapter for each jurisdiction. Unlike the 2019 Bicycle Plan, the Pedestrian Plan did not include comprehensive inventories of sidewalks, but instead focuses on key corridors or neighborhoods within each community.
