2050 Transportation Plan

Your local government is paving the way for the future with the 2050 Transportation Plan. Using input from community members and local stakeholders, this plan will develop a multi-modal transportation strategy that guides investment of public funds in the transportation system. An effective transportation system will provide better mobility and safety for all users and modes of travel while making sustainable infrastructure investments.

Identify transportation needs based on these goals

Develop actions and projects to address these needs

Prioritize projects

Identify funding strategies and an implementation plan

The public draft is ready for your feedback

Over the past year, we’ve been working with residents, community groups and local leaders to shape the 2050 Douglas County Transportation Plan. This plan lays out a vision for how we’ll invest in roads, trails, transit and other transportation improvements over the next 25 years.

What’s in the Plan

Projects to enhance safety and reduce severe crashes
Expanding multimodal options like trails, bike infrastructure and transit
Improving roadway maintenance and connectivity
Strategies to support older adults and people without access to a car
Preparing for future growth and emergencies
