4. Prescott Alternative
Transportation's
Vision:
A transportation and trails system that
enriches our central Yavapai community by
providing mobility for all, regardless of car
ownership, age or ability. A seamless bicycle,
pedestrian and public transit network invites
our citizens to leave their cars at home,
thereby saving money, encouraging healthy
activity, and promoting energy independence.
6. Walkable/bikeable communities channel growth in new
areas to protect habitat, agricultural land and open
space. They reduce dependency on the automobile and
reduce infrastructure investment costs.
7. Walkable/bikeable
communities are
desirable places to live,
work, learn, worship and
play. They are also
integral to achieving the
goals of sustainable
growth as they enhance
mobility, reduce negative
environmental
consequences,
strengthen economies
and support stronger
communities through
improved social
interaction.
8. Communities can
be built so that
walking/biking to
destinations is a
viable option;
improving access to
services for the
residents who are
too old, too young
or too poor to
drive.
9. Prescott Alternative
Transportation advocates

transportation planning process to help
lead Prescott in a positive direction for
all of our citizens. We are a strong
