Active Transportation - Flagstaff Urban Trails (FUTS) Master Plans

The City of Flagstaff is working on an Active Transportation Master Plan and Flagstaff Urban Trails (FUTS) Master Plan to serve as detailed guides to enhance walking, biking, and trails in Flagstaff.

Walking and biking are important to Flagstaff. These master plans will make specific recommendations for strategies, actions, projects, and programs to improve the pedestrian and bicycle environment and implement the goals and policies of the Flagstaff Regional Plan 2030 regarding walking, biking, and trails.

Benefits

There are a number of benefits to having an active transportation and FUTS master plans in place:

• Provides a detailed framework to make Flagstaff more walk and bike-friendly
• Positions the City to take advantage of grants, transportation tax dollars, and other sources of funding as opportunities become available
• Helps ensure that walking, biking, and trails are accommodated in new development and new capital projects

Process & Public Engagement Plan

The Process and Public Engagement Plan (PDF) describes the process for preparation and adoption of the master plans, and outlines how the community and stakeholders will be engaged as part of the process. Significant public engagement and background research has already been conducted in support of the master plans, and additional opportunities are planned. Scroll to the bottom of this page for opportunities to get involved and stay engaged.
