Welcome

The City of Gig Harbor needs your input to help update its Active Transportation Plan (ATP). As a companion plan to the recently adopted Transportation Element (TE), the ATP focuses specifically on walking, biking, and other forms of human-powered travel. It supports the City’s broader transportation goals by ensuring that active transportation is prioritized and well-integrated into Gig Harbor’s overall transportation

This survey will help the City identify which active transportation projects should be prioritized as part of the ATP.

What is Active Transportation?

Active transportation refers to any form of human-powered travel. This includes walking, biking, rolling (such as wheelchairs, scooters, or skateboards), and other non-motorized ways of getting around. Active transportation can also involve using public transit, since most transit trips begin or end with a walk, bike, or roll.

Active transportation supports healthier lifestyles, reduces vehicle traffic, improves air quality, and helps create safer, more connected communities.


Below, you’ll find two lists:

  • A list of “quick wins” which are projects that can be implemented in the near-term with relatively low cost and effort. These ideas emerged from previous community engagement, and the City intends to move them forward soon.
  • A list of high priority transportation projects from the TE. We need your feedback to help refine and prioritize these efforts.

Please take a few minutes to review the projects and share your thoughts. Your input is anonymous and greatly valued.


Quick Wins

The list has been updated from the 2018 ATP “quick wins” by removing projects that have been completed or are no longer feasible and by adding a few new projects based on recent feedback and City staff input.


High Priority Project List

This section features active transportation projects that Gig Harbor has identified as high priority. We are seeking your feedback to decide the order in which these projects should be prioritized and completed in the near future.

The list was developed by scoring active and multimodal transportation projects from the Transportation Element’s short-term project list using the methodology established in the 2018 Active Transportation Plan. All of these projects are also included in the City's six-year Transportation Improvement Program (2026 -2031 TIP).


Please rate each project on a scale of 1 to 5 stars, with 5 stars indicating the projects most important to you. The rating stars appear directly below each project image. If you prefer, you may select the circle to skip rating a project.
