What's New?
The City of Ann Arbor last completed a Comprehensive Transportation Plan Update in 1990, laying the framework for improvements to the transportation system over the following years. Since the completion of this plan, the City has experienced tremendous growth and change which alter the way transportation must serve the community:
- Regional Population Growth
- Regional Employment Growth
- Expansion of University Medical Center
- Central Campus Improvements
- North Campus Expansion
- Downtown Development
As a result of these changed conditions, the City of Ann Arbor is preparing an update to the Transportation Plan that considers the effects of changes in growth patterns and development in order to prepare new recommendations to meet transportation needs and the goals of the community well into the future. The plan will be mindful of previous findings and recommendations for the transportation system, and work to incorporate other current efforts, such as the Citywide Non-Motorized Transportation Plan, into a comprehensive framework for addressing current and future transportation issues.
