Strengthening Transportation Alternatives for the Region (STAR) Plan
A more walkable, bikeable, connected region starts here. Welcome to the STAR Plan.
What if walking, biking, and rolling between communities was easier, safer, and more connected? That’s the focus of the WAMPO Strengthening Transportation Alternatives for the Region (STAR) Plan. This effort will improve regional active transportation by evaluating existing bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, identifying opportunities to improve connectivity between communities, and updating a regional map.
Share your ideas to help shape the future of our region.
Are there locations where you have walking, biking, or rolling ideas or concerns? Show us on the map below.

Project Background
WAMPO has identified active transportation as a priority in response to growing community interest in nonmotorized transportation, sustainability goals, and safety concerns, with a focus on prioritizing connectivity between the communities in the WAMPO region. On June 9, 2026, the Transportation Policy Body approved a contract between WAMPO and RDG Planning & Design for the development of a regional active transportation plan. This project will be carried out with the support of WAMPO member jurisdictions, residents, and an Active Transportation Advisory Group (ATAG).
Project highlights include:
-
Development of an Active Transportation Advisory Group
-
Updated bicycle maps for the region and individual communities
-
10 catalyst site plans that encourage social gathering and economic interests
-
Multiple public engagement opportunities
