Austin announces new transportation plan

The Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) is the City’s new transportation plan. It guides our transportation policies, programs, projects, and investments for the next 20+ years. The ASMP covers all the ways we get around Austin. This includes: driving, walking, bicycling, and taking public transportation like buses and trains.
.
WHY DO WE HAVE A NEW PLAN?
The ASMP helps all our transportation plans and programs work together instead of competing for space, funding, and support.
Our last plan was the Austin Metropolitan Area Transportation Plan. We adopted this plan in 1995. Austin’s population has doubled since then, and we expect it to keep on growing.
The ASMP covers traveling to, from, and through Austin.
It can also help us win grants and save taxpayers’ money on transportation projects.
WHAT WILL THIS PLAN DO?
The ASMP will build connections, improve our current systems, increase accountability, and plan for our city’s long-term transportation future.

Building Connections

  • Covering all modes of transportation in one plan.
  • Making sure our programs, plans, and policies work together.
  • Connecting our transportation plan to Imagine Austin.

Improving Current Systems
  • Finding ways to make our roads, bus routes, sidewalks, and bicycle lanes more efficient.
  • Finding ways for more people to use all modes of transportation.

Increasing Accountability
  • Adding milestones to track our progress.

Planning for Austin’s Transportation Future
  • Creating more travel choices.
  • Making sure our systems can adapt to new technology.
WHAT'S NEXT FOR THE ASMP?
The Austin City Council unanimously adopted the ASMP. The adopted version of the plan includes the draft of the plan released in February 2019, staff-recommended amendments and Council amendments. Staff are currently working to incorporate these documents into a final version to be published soon. Go to our ASMP Timeline page to learn more about what we’ve done and what we’ll be working on next.
