FAQs

• What is Moving Forward Together?
• Moving Forward Together is UC Davis’ effort to improve its transportation systems. It begins with the large community engagement effort you see here. This overall planning effort seeks to address all modes of transportation—biking, walking, driving, bussing, and scooting—to make campus safer, more accessible, and sustainable. Your feedback will help shape real-world improvements and could unlock funding for projects that matter most to our community.
• Why is community input important?
• We believe that the people who use UC Davis’s transportation network every day know best where improvements are needed. By providing your input, you help ensure that the changes we propose truly reflect the needs of the campus community. Your feedback directly impacts how we prioritize projects and apply for external funding, including potential grants.
• What kinds of changes could result from this effort?
• The feedback we collect could lead to real changes such as expanded bike paths, improved pedestrian walkways, safer intersections, new electric scooter and bike stations, and better transit routes. We’re also focused on aligning our transportation network with our Vision Zero goal to eliminate traffic-related injuries and fatalities, making the campus safer for everyone.
• How will my feedback be used?
• Your feedback will directly inform the development of UC Davis’s Sustainable Transportation Plan and help prioritize projects that align with the needs and values of the campus community. Additionally, your input will strengthen our case when applying for external funding, helping us secure the resources necessary to make many of these improvements a reality.
• What is the Vision Zero goal, and how does it relate to this effort?
• Vision Zero is UC Davis’s commitment to eliminate all traffic-related injuries and fatalities on campus. As part of Moving Forward Together, we are especially interested in hearing about areas where close calls or unsafe conditions are frequent. This feedback will help us target improvements that make walking, biking, and driving safer for everyone.
• How is this initiative being inclusive of underserved communities?
• We are committed to ensuring that Moving Forward Together represents the diverse voices of our campus. Special efforts will be made to reach out to underserved communities who may face additional barriers to safe and reliable transportation. We want to make sure that the transportation improvements benefit everyone, regardless of their background or mode of travel.
