Napa Countywide Active Transportation Plan

The Napa Countywide Active Transportation Plan is a comprehensive, locally led initiative developed over 24 months to enhance bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure across all jurisdictions within Napa County, including both incorporated cities and unincorporated areas. The plan aims to address existing challenges and recommend improvements that align with updated state laws, guidance, and best practices for active transportation, with a primary focus on safety, connectivity, and accessibility for all residents and visitors. Extensive public engagement was a central component of the planning process, culminating in a public hearing on April 15, 2026, at the Soscol Gateway Transit Center in Napa, where the plan was formally adopted. The project qualifies for a statutory exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act under Public Resources Code §21080.20, which applies to regional transportation plans that promote nonmotorized transport, eliminating the need for standard environmental review. The Napa Valley Transportation Authority served as the lead agency, with Senior Planner Patrick Band acting as the primary point of contact for project coordination and public communication. Funding for the plan is supported through state programs including the Transportation Development Act Article 3, the Transportation Fund for Clean Air, and the Low Carbon Transit Operations Program, though no formal contract value, pricing structure, or line-item costs were disclosed. The initiative was not procured through a competitive federal or state contract process and therefore does not include standard Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, evaluation factors, or contractor award mechanisms. There is no designated contractor identified, as the plan was developed in-house by NVTA staff with public input. Delivery of the plan consists of its formal adoption and associated documentation, with no physical goods, shipping requirements, or packaging specifications involved. Payment and administrative functions are managed through NVTA’s office at 625 Burnell Street, Napa, CA 94559, with an account number listed for invoicing purposes. The plan’s implementation is guided by compliance with CEQA exemptions and public meeting requirements under Government Code §65009(B), and while no formal inspection criteria or quality standards are specified, the plan’s recommendations are intended to meet established benchmarks for safe and equitable active transportation design. Public submissions were accepted via email or in person through April 15, 2026, and the project’s progress and hearing materials were made accessible through NVTA’s website and livestream platforms.
