In July 2025, the City launched the first round of community engagement for the Active Transportation Plan (ATP), aimed at raising awareness of the plan, understanding community interests and priorities, and identifying gaps and opportunities across the existing active transportation network.

In addition to the summer engagement activities, the project team drew on key findings from the Prince George Official Community Plan (OCP) process (September 2023–October 2024), where transportation was a major focus. A summary of transportation-related feedback from the OCP has been incorporated into this report to provide additional context and inform the ATP.

Project background

Help shape the future of walking, cycling, and rolling in Prince George!

The City of Prince George is updating its Active Transportation Plan, and we want to hear from you. This updated plan will help guide the development of infrastructure and programs that make it easier and safer to get around the city by walking, cycling, and rolling.

The plan will build on key City strategies, including the Climate Change Mitigation Plan, Parks Strategy, and Asset Management Strategy, and will respond to community priorities identified in the Draft 2025 Official Community Plan. The location-specific feedback gathered during the Official Community Plan engagement process will help inform the City’s "existing conditions" report, which is expected to be finished this summer.

Why now?

Active transportation is an important part of a healthy, connected, and sustainable community. As Prince George grows, so does the need for safe, accessible, and convenient options for people of all ages and abilities. We want to help our community get where they need to go whether it’s on foot, by bike, in a wheelchair, or on a scooter. The City’s existing Active Transportation Plan was developed in 2010, since that time design guidance and planning approaches have changed and an update is needed to reflect best practice.

Engagement opportunities

Throughout summer 2025, Phase 2 engagement focused on mapping existing conditions and initiating conversations with community organizations and government partners to help shape the foundation of the plan. Phase 3 public engagement opportunities will take place in fall 2025, when we will invite community members to review and provide feedback on proposed directions.
