Why It Matters 

Our transportation vision goes far beyond cleaner vehicles. We’re building a livable, walkable Louisville designed around people. By putting people first in how we plan our streets, connect neighborhoods, and move through our community, we can create a healthier, more vibrant Louisville for everyone. 

Benefits of a Connected Community:

• Kids can walk or bike to school more safely 
• Seniors enjoy reliable, accessible transportation options
• Neighbors connect more often and support local businesses 
• Streets double as green, active public spaces, rather than just corridors for cars 
• Fewer car trips leads to cleaner air and less noise 
• Biking and walking reduce traffic congestion

 What We're Doing 

We’re making it safer and easier to walk, bike, and roll across Louisville.  

Louisville's key milestones include: 

• Replacement of 1,100 decorative streetlights with dark-sky compliant LEDs to reduce light pollution.
• 32 miles of connected bicycle trails throughout the city.
• Downtown Louisville earned a Walk Score of 82, making it one of the most walkable areas in the region.

 Get Involved 

• Walk or bike more: Choose active trips for short distances to reduce traffic and GHG emissions.
• Ride transit: Take the bus when you can to cut single-occupancy car trips.
• Volunteer: Support local bike groups, walking groups, or other transportation initiatives and connect with your neighbors!
