On May 6, 2025, at the regularly scheduled Council meeting, the Fremont City Council approved Fremont’s Active Transportation Plan. The ATP consolidates the previous Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plans and provides a framework where people of all ages and abilities are inspired each day to walk, bike, and roll comfortably without barriers. The Active Transportation Plan provides a 5-year work plan centered around three primary recommendations:
- Implementation of major roadway corridor projects that form the backbone of the citywide active transportation network.
- Continue or expand priority education, outreach, maintenance, and other supporting programs to promote and encourage walking and biking.
- Implement pedestrian and bicycle improvements serving Fremont’s designated low income and disadvantaged communities.
The City encourages residents to walk, bike, and roll for fun and exercise or to school, work, or other local destinations.
