About 4% of adults walk or bike to work* but 33% of students walk or bike to school** 30% of all car trips starting/ending in Cupertino are <5mi, a distance feasible for active modes There is a high number of recreational walking or biking trips (almost 2,000 a week)*** *Commuter Mode Share (Source: ACS 2021 5-Year estimates) **2024-2025 Safe Routes to School Travel Tally Data ***Strava Metro data from July 7-July 13, 2025 Why an Active Transportation Plan? 60% of all serious or fatal traffic crashes in Cupertino involve people walking or biking Plan for future growth to maintain quality of life for today’s residents Create a project roadmap for City Staff, providing certainty & stability to all Project Schedule Plan Goals Safety - Focus on the High-Injury Network Access - Improve access to schools, jobs, parks, and other destinations Maintenance - Fix & maintain the existing network Sustainability - Improve air quality, climate, and public health Multimodal Balance - Minimize impacts on roadway operations Fairness - Improvements distributed to all neighborhoods Collins Elementary Community Engagement Phase 1 Outreach 9 Pop-up Events & 2 Community Workshops 36 Promotional Signs Installed across the City Phase 1 Outreach 1,361 People Reached & 2,987 Public Comments Received via outreach boards, an interactive webmap, survey, and emails Webmap Comments Larger dots indicate locations with more comments, “likes”, and “dislikes” Green dots indicate more “like” votes on a comment Pink dots indicate more “dislike” votes on a comment Phase 1 Outreach What We Heard Phase 1 Outreach – What We Heard Desire for Connected Networks Close gaps & reduce barriers Focus on Pedestrian Improvements Ensure pedestrian needs are being met Lead with Safety and Accessibility Prioritize the top two ranked plan goals Focus Improvements near Schools Focus on school travel Phase 1 Outreach – What We Heard Reflect All Voices Capture all opinions about ATP Concern About Tradeoffs Consider the impact on parking/traffic Don’t Just Build, Maintain Dedicate resources towards bike facility maintenance Track Progress Monitor the utilization of new projects De Anza Blvd Analysis Analysis - ATP Active Trip Potential (ATP) Roughly 30% of all car trips starting or ending in Cupertino are 5 miles or less ATP uses origin/ destination data from cell phones, randomized for privacy Analysis - ATP Walk Trip Potential Number of car trips under 1 mile – trips that could be made by walking Analysis - ATP Bike Trip Potential Number of car trips 1-3 miles – trips that could be made by bike Analysis - Level of Traffic Stress Pedestrian Level of Traffic Stress Measure perception of comfort & safety while walking Analysis still in- progress, anticipated late May 2025 Pedestrian LTS Map Major roadways (De Anza Blvd, Foothill Blvd) and highway overcrossings have a high level of traffic stress for pedestrians Analysis - LTS Bicycle Level of Traffic Stress Measures perception & comfort of people riding bikes LTS 1 = comfortable for all ages & abilities Analysis - LTS Bicycle LTS Map Most major roadways (Stevens Creek Blvd, Wolfe Rd, Miller Ave, Blaney Ave, De Anza Blvd, Foothill Blvd) have high levels of traffic stress for bicyclists Analysis - LTS Analysis – SAST (stress-adjusted short trips) Walk Gap Score Gaps in the network and areas with the highest potential to generate new walking trips Bike Gap Score Gaps in the network and areas with the highest potential to generate new biking trips Analysis – SAST (stress-adjusted short trips) Regnart Creek Trail Recommendations Recommendations Process Analysis Proposed Projects Public Input Past Plans Pedestrian Projects Considerations •Develop and apply pedestrian crossing treatment typologies •Previous plan recommendations •Intersections near schools, bus stops, city facilities, and large employers •Sidewalk network gaps and connectivity Pedestrian Project Typologies Bicycle Projects Considerations •Previous plan recommendations •Roadway stress and bike trip demand •Roadway reconfiguration feasibility •Roadway context including vehicle speed and traffic volume •Public input Bicycle Project Types Webmap Preview Program & Policy Recommendations Engineering policies and programs: Example: Active detection at intersections Encouragement programs: Example: Bike rack program Education programs: Example: Electric micromobility education Enforcement programs: Example: Target enforcement of vehicular violations on the High-Injury Network Evaluation programs: Example: Bicycle and pedestrian traffic counts Draft Bicycle Network Prioritization Criteria Goal Criteria Metric (Source) Max Score Safety Collision History Roadway is on the High Injury Network 20 Stress Level Max score from bicycle level of traffic stress analysis 10 Access School Proximity School located nearby 10 High Frequency Transit Proximity Presence of transit stops 5 Parks & Other Destination Proximity Presence of parks, the library, and shopping centers 10 Sustainability Active Trip Potential Roadway has high bicycle or e-bike trip potential 5 Fills network facility gap within a segment 5 Balance Roadway Impact Potential need for lane reduction or parking removal (-10) Fairness Public Input Roadway was identified during public outreach process 20 Draft Pedestrian Intersection Prioritization Criteria Goal Criteria Metric (Source) Max Score Safety Collision History Roadway is on the High Injury Network 20 Stress Level Max score from pedestrian level of traffic stress analysis 10 Access School Proximity School located nearby 10 High Frequency Transit Proximity Presence of transit stops 10 Parks & Other Destination Proximity Presence of parks, the library, and shopping centers 10 Sustainability Active Trip Potential Roadway has high active pedestrian trip potential 5 Fills network facility gap within a segment 5 Fairness Public Input Roadway was identified during public outreach process 20 Draft Pedestrian Sidewalk Prioritization Criteria Goal Criteria Metric (Source) Max Score Safety Collision History Roadway is on the High Injury Network 20 Stress Level Max score from pedestrian and bicycle level of traffic stress analysis 10 Access School Proximity School located nearby 10 High Frequency Transit Proximity Presence of transit stops 10 Parks & Other Destination Proximity Presence of parks, the library, and shopping centers 10 Sustainability Active Trip Potential Roadway has high trip potential 5 Fills network facility gap within a segment 5 Fairness Public Input Roadway was identified during public outreach process 20 Stevens Creek Blvd Input on Recommendations Phase 2 Public Input Spaces 1.Online Webmap Hosted on the project website: www.cupertinoATP.org 2.3 Pop-up Events 3.2 Community Workshops (one in person, one virtual) 4.Direct emails to: info@CupertinoATP.org Input is focused on network recommendations Phase 2 Outreach (Aug-Oct) Public Hearings •August 20 – Bicycle Pedestrian Commission •September 9 – Planning Commission •September 16 – Cupertino City Council Pop-Up Events •Date TBD – Farmer’s Market •September 13 – Silicon Valley Fall Fest •September 28 – Bike Fest Community Workshops •September 29 – Community Hall •October 6 – Virtual Workshop What Comes Next •Update recommendations •Prioritize recommendations for implementation •“Implementation Packages” for highest- priority projects •Draft Plan Next Steps Phase 2 – August through October •Phase 1 review at City Commissions & Council Phase 3 – January •Draft Plan Final Plan at City Council April 2026 How can people get involved? •Visit CupertinoATP.org •Comment on the webmap •Attend an event •Email our project team info@CupertinoATP.org www.cupertinoATP.org Thank You!
