Austin's transportation plan has a lot to say about steps to reduce traffic congestion.

AUSTIN, Texas — Are you willing to ditch your car and ride your bicycle to work?

That's one of the possibilities promoted by the new "Austin Strategic Mobility Plan" that was made public Friday.

Austin's transportation plan has a lot to say about steps to reduce traffic congestion.

Among them: increase the share of Austin residents who use public transportation. The city would like to see a 400 percent increase in the number of residents who take transit to work by the year 2039.

The report also recommends that more people ride their bikes to work. The city wants at least 15 percent of the workforce that lives in Central Austin to commute by bicycle by 2025.

“The Austin Strategic Mobility Plan is truly a major milestone for Austin’s mobility portfolio,” Robert Spillar, P.E., Austin Transportation Director, said. “The plan responds to Council’s strategic direction to solve mobility issues by addressing the multimodal needs of our community, offering our residents and visitors new affordable opportunities to travel through and around our city.”

There are a lot more recommendations. To review the full draft, click here.
