PALMDALE – The city of Palmdale is preparing a Sustainable Transportation Plan (STP) to improve traffic safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers, and community input is key to the success of the plan.
Residents are encouraged to visit PalmdaleSTP.com to share their input about mobility in Palmdale, or Take a survey and share their travel patterns and transportation priorities.
Participants will be entered into a raffle drawing to win a 26-inch Huffy Mountain Bike or a $50 Antelope Valley Transit Authority TAP Card. Contact information must be provided to be eligible for the drawing, and residents, visitors, and commuters are all invited to participate. The survey closes at 5 p.m. on Aug. 31, and winners will be notified by Sept. 7.
Sustainable transportation refers to transportation that contributes to reduced greenhouse gas emissions. These modes of transportation are affordable and either low-emission, energy-efficient, or electric. Some examples of sustainable transportation projects include first/last mile projects for connectivity; safe routes to schools and parks; protected bike lanes; complete sidewalks with streetscape; accessible and welcoming transit hubs; more visible signs and signals; traffic calming measures; designated carpool loading areas; and bike share programs/stations.
For more information visit the project website at PalmdaleSTP.com, or contact City Traffic Engineer Jay Nelson at jnelson@cityofpalmdale.org or 661-267-5320.
