    Mobility Plan

    The 2020 Denton Mobility Plan is a multimodal mobility study and strategy to address citywide transportation, including vehicles, transit, bicycles, and pedestrians, for years to come. The Plan will be used to guide the City of Denton’s short-, mid-, and long-range mobility planning efforts.

    The Denton community is encouraged to share their mobility and transportation thoughts by participating in public meetings and share their feedback using the interactive map or submitting input through the Mobility Plan comment form.

    • Project Information
      The overall goal of the 2020 Denton Mobility Plan is to approach mobility from the perspective of finding the most efficient means of moving people and freight within and through the City over the next 30 years.

      There are four primary objectives with the project:
      1. Engage the community to understand mobility issues;
      2. Build on previous plans;
      3. Utilize reliable data sources to weigh mobility options; and
      4. Develop an implementation strategy.

      The project will involve a number of planning activities with some of the key project components being the collection of data and stakeholder input, updates to the Denton Master Thoroughfare Plan and Bicycle Plan, creation of a Pedestrian Plan, and updates to the Denton Transportation Impact Fee.
