The Siskiyou County Local Transportation Commission is seeking qualified consultants to provide planning services for the development of a Siskiyou Countywide Active Transportation Plan. Creating a comprehensive, regional active transportation plan for the County of Siskiyou that reflects the county’s values and priorities will provide guidance for developing prioritized project lists and an understanding of issues in the region. The County of Siskiyou currently does not have an adopted Plan to help identify, establish, and prioritize improvements, programs, and policies which support active transportation goals. The 2021 Regional Transportation Plan for the region does include a list of Bicycle/Pedestrian Improvement Projects, however, it is not a comprehensive plan. The County needs to develop a regional active transportation plan, allowing all the communities of the county to participate in establishing the plan, to identify needs and work towards a future of increased active transportation. The County anticipates that an adopted and implemented Active Transportation Plan will increase active transportation users for both residents and visitors alike.

The Siskiyou Regional Active Transportation Plan will include an inventory of existing infrastructure, a prioritized list of implementation projects focused on connectivity within the region, a list of needed non-infrastructure elements to encourage and educate residents to safely utilize active transportation and will further identify a priority list of “Quick Build” projects that provide safe, low-cost transportation alternatives in a short period.

Proposals are due by July 5, 2023 at 3:00pm.
