Sacramento Area Planning For Pedestrians

20 March 2002 - 9:00am

The Sacramento Area Council of Governments is exploring ways to make walking a viable mode of transportation in its new regional transportation plan.

"For the first time ever, the Sacramento region's Metropolitan Transportation Plan, the blueprint for transportation spending for the next quarter-century, proposes to spend money to promote walkable communities. The plan includes $400 million to help residents plan ways to make their neighborhoods more walkable, bikeable and transit- friendly."
