Safe Routes to Transit Plan

Project Overview

The SacRT Safe Routes to Transit Plan is a countywide planning effort funded by a Caltrans Sustainable Communities grant. As Sacramento County continues to see increased demand for safe and accessible walking and biking connections to transit, this plan will identify key gaps and recommend improvements to ensure safer, more convenient access to SacRT bus stops and light rail stations. 

This effort builds on the foundation of the Bus Stop Improvement Plan (BSIP) and expands it to a broader, countywide scale. 

Why This Plan Matters

  • Many SacRT stops and stations currently lack safe, accessible paths of travel. 
  • There is no existing countywide Safe Routes to Transit plan. 
  • This plan will identify barriers, gaps, and opportunities for improvement. 
  • Recommendations will support state and regional mode-shift goals and help develop implementation-ready projects.  

Project Timeline

Road Safety Audits (RSA)

SacRT and the SR2T project team conducted road safety audits (RSA) in May 2026 with partner agencies and key community members as participants. A road Safety Audit is an independent review of roads and intersections that identify potential safety and access issues for all users and recommends improvements to reduce the risk and severity of crashes. SacRT held six (6) RSA’s throughout the service area, and findings from the RSA’s will help to inform the final plan.

Why Your Input Counts

Community feedback will directly shape the priorities and improvements identified in the Safe Routes to Transit Plan. Together, we can create safer, more connected streets that make walking, biking, and rolling to transit easier for everyone. 

Public Workshops

SacRT hosted a series of public workshops to gather community input on safety challenges, barriers, and opportunities for improving access to transit. The workshops were designed to be inclusive and accessible, with bilingual materials.
