NVTA Countywide Transportation Plan (2014) The Napa Countywide Transportation Plan – Vision 2040: Moving Napa Forward is a long-range transportation plan that sets goals, strategies, and investments for all modes of transportation for the next 25 years. The Plan identifies a constrained transportation project list for the county, which includes 17 projects that specifically aim to improve bicycling in the county. The Plan also identifies linkages between expanding the bicycle network and programs (e.g., Safe Routes to School, Complete Streets, bikeshare, separating pedestrians and bicyclists from the roadway) and the broader economic development, transportation demand management, environmental, health, and placemaking goals for the county.
SR 29 Gateway Corridor Implementation Plan (2014) In 2014, NVTA created a vision and implementation plan for the southern section of State Route 29 (SR 29). This 17-mile segment of SR 29 is a “gateway” to Napa Valley as well as a regional corridor for passthrough traffic. The Plan includes options for increasing active transportation facilities within the SR 29 corridor. Currently, the corridor provides paved shoulders for bicycling in some sections.
