How will we create sustainable mobility options for residents?
This division evaluates the impacts of new development on the County's road, bus, bike and pedestrian networks, and promotes enhanced mobility options for
residents through the strategies of the Mobility Plan. The Plan relies on a collaboration between local, state and federal agencies to accomplish its goals.

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a high-capacity bus service that travels on exclusive lanes along designated routes.
In Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) traditional style communities are focused around centrally located transit stations.
An Interconnected Road Network provides a more efficient means of travel between neighborhoods.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Connectivity is an important part of the Mobility Plan.
The Mobility Plan
The Mobility Plan creates more mobility options for residents, especially for young people, the elderly and people who do not own cars or prefer not to drive, which
reduces energy use, personal transportation costs, and dependence on foreign oil. It provides for compact mixed uses areas, including commercial, office, civic and institutional uses
to be accessible by walking and biking, in combination with a plan for bus rapid transit. The Plan also calls for express transit and park and ride opportunities from outlying areas
into the employment and commercial hubs within the City of Gainesville.
Key features of the Plan include:
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)
A BRT is a high-capacity bus service that travels on exclusive lanes along designated routes. The system will be developed in conjunction with Transit Oriented developments and as density increases within the Urban Cluster.
Transit Oriented (TOD) and Traditional Neighborhood Developments (TND)
TOD and TND Developments contain a mix of uses and provide a higher density focal point for transit. They also will be the location of park and ride lots to serve residents in outlying areas.
Interconnected Road Network
This strategy reconnects neighborhoods by creating a road network that internally links one neighborhood to another without having to travel on major roads and highways.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Connectivity
The Mobility Plan proposes a connected bicycle and pedestrian network with new on-road bicycle lanes & off-road multi-use paths. These facilities will connect existing/future residential development to TOD’s, TND’s and Activity Centers.
