Yolo Active Transportation Corridors Plan
Overview
Yolo Active Transportation Corridors Plan
The Yolo Active Transportation Corridors (YATC) plan is a long-range transportation planning, community engagement, and construction engineering project that will develop an active transportation plan for a network of multi-use trails that will help to address barriers to mobility for low-income and minority residents of Yolo County, California (population 220,500). This planning project will build upon YoloTD’s recent efforts to explore how public interest design of transportation services can be used to address the needs of the region’s most isolated and disadvantaged areas, where institutional disadvantages of rurality and disproportionately high environmental burdens generate disparities in socioeconomic outcomes.
The $1.7 million project is funded by a $1.2 million grant from the federal Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) discretionary grant program.

Engaging with the community, especially in unincorporated communities, is a main priority of the YATC Plan. We encourage that all members of the community visit the project’s community pages (available in both English and Spanish) to learn more and get involved.

Connecting Yolo Together
Connecting Yolo Together
This project will conduct community outreach, map areas of persistent poverty in the county, prioritize disadvantaged areas for access to the bike/pedestrian trail network, assess the feasibility of electric bike/scooter charging stations, provide conceptual design plans and cost estimates to build out the trail network, and develop 100% design and engineering and construction documents for top priority trails.
This YoloTD Bike & Pedestrian Trail Network Planning project will advance the broader Sacramento Area Council of Government’s Parks and Trails Strategic Development Plan, which envisions a dynamic, regional system of interconnected trails and parks across El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba counties in Northern California.
