Year in Review
2024 has been a big year for Transportation Planning and community listening. We attended over 100 meetings or events hosted by you, in your communities.
We also hosted meetings where we listened to you about your needs for:
Active Transportation (Streets for People and Neighborhood Connections)Howe AvenueNorwood AvenueStreet Design StandardsWork Zone Detours
Our CivicSpark fellow, Graham DeLeon, tabled at many events since her start in late September including at the 2024 Climate Justice Festival, River District Open Streets Festival, Harvest Festival and the Meadowview Farmers Market. These tabling engagement events provide an opportunity for community input on current projects, sign-ups for the monthly transportation newsletter, and giveaway of bike lights, bells, bike maps, and more.
We also applied for and won competitive grant funding to develop transportation plans for:
Arden Way and Auburn BoulevardFruitridge RoadReconnecting Old North Sacramento
It’s not just plans and infrastructure. We are committed to serving Sacramento because mobility is a driver for personal and economic growth; transportation brings family and friends together; and access helps us achieve our dreams.

We look forward to connecting with and working with you in 2025.
Looking Forward to the New Division of Mobility and Sustainability 
Sacramento continues to evolve with more housing, exciting sports opportunities, and new local businesses; and the City’s organizational structure can help it advance and support the changing environment.
How people get around is also changing from widespread use of rideshare companies, electric vehicles and vehicle charging needs; a greater range of active transportation options, from scooters and e-bikes; to car share and potentially autonomous vehicles. More people are using Sacramento’s streets and in new ways. We also have ambitious mobility and climate goals.
It is critical to continue to advance State climate mandates and adopted City goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with ongoing coordination with air quality and regional agencies, planning for energy conservation and efficiency, compliance with adopted Climate Action and Adaption Plan, implementation of Urban Forest Plan and programs, and coordination of citywide climate efforts.
With Sacramento’s growth and continued change, under-resourced communities must be at the table as we plan for the future. Equitable processes and outcomes are essential and a priority for the City.
To better anticipate and focus on these needs and priorities, City Council established a new division within Public Works: Mobility and Sustainability (MaS). By reorganizing key work groups, this division will include Transportation Planning, Sustainability and Climate Action, Asset Management Planning, and Curb Management. MaS will form over the coming year. Transportation Planning’s own Jennifer Donlon Wyant has been appointed to serve as Division Manager for the Mobility and Sustainability Division.
Follow this newsletter to learn more about this new division as it is established.
2025/26 Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Applications 
At their December 3rd meeting, City Council approved submission of two applications to the competitive Caltrans FY 2025/26 Sustainable Communities- Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant program:
Transit Needs in Sacramento to meet Climate, Equity, and Mobility Goals
The City of Sacramento has ambitious climate and mobility goals such as the City’s Climate Action and Adaptation Plan’s (CAAP) goal for 11% of all trips to be made by transit by 2030. To achieve this goal, this plan will identify existing travel patterns for all modes, geographic areas within the city where existing transit service could be improved, non-transit trips are likely to be converted to transit, and what the City and SacRT can do to reach 11% transit mode share.
Walking, Bicycling, and Transit Access Wayfinding Project
The CAAP aims to achieve 6% active transportation mode share by 2030 and 12% by 2045; and to reach 11% transit mode share by 2030. To do that, the city will implement wayfinding, an educational and encouragement tool that guides people on routes that are less stressful and with adequate infrastructure for walking, bicycling and transit access. If awarded, the project promotes walking and bicycling to key destinations and we will develop a concept wayfinding plan in to two Senate Bill (SB) 535 disadvantaged community areas.
The City of Sacramento approved the submittal of both of these projects for the Caltrans FY 2025/26 Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant program.

Tip of the Month
Plan Ahead with a Safe Ride Home
The holiday season is upon us, which means heading out and spending time with family and friends. Be sure to plan ahead with an Uber, Lyft, designated driver, ride share, public transit, or other form of transportation because drinking and driving is not an option.
