What is the Rocklin Active Transportation Plan?
The Rocklin Active Transportation Plan (ATP) is a long-term strategy to improve walking and bicycling in our community. While driving is the primary way most Rocklin residents travel locally, not everyone has access to a vehicle or can safely drive. Children, seniors, and people with disabilities, in particular, often rely on walking or biking to reach schools, parks, shops, and medical appointments.
Active transportation refers to walking, rolling, or biking for everyday trips. These options provide important mobility choices, promote healthier lifestyles, and help reduce traffic congestion and air pollution.
Rocklin currently has approximately 18 miles of multi-use paths, 61 miles of bike lanes, and sidewalks along most streets. However, many roads experience high traffic volumes and high speeds, which can make walking and biking feel unsafe or uncomfortable. The ATP will identify projects and priorities to address these challenges, improve safety, and help the City allocate limited resources and secure funding for future improvements.
Because Rocklin does not have a robust public transit network, active transportation is especially important for residents who may not have reliable access to a vehicle. This Plan will help guide how we make walking and biking safer and more practical for everyone.
How Can You Help?
Your input is an essential part of developing the Rocklin ATP. Using the interactive map below, you can identify locations where walking or biking could be safer or more comfortable. Simply drop a marker, describe your concern, and share any ideas for improvements. You can also review and comment on suggestions from other community members.
There is also a short survey tab below. Your responses will help us understand local safety priorities and needs. The survey is brief and should only take a few minutes.
Thank you for your interest and for helping create a more walkable and bikeable Rocklin!
