    In spring and summer 2024, we gathered feedback in person and online to better understand the challenges people face as they travel in Aurora.

    Your top concerns:

    Car icon Multiple cars icon Walking and biking icon Transit icon Street icon Location pin icon

    Many people
    do not feel safe traveling outside their car.


    Driving is
    hampered
    by bottlenecks.
    Speeding and
    unsafe driving
    behavior are key issues.

    Walking and biking are uncomfortable,
    and the places people want to go are too far away.

    Public transit security is an issue, and bus and train service is infrequent, unreliable,
    and too slow.

    There is a desire to have
    higher quality streets/places.

    It's difficult for people to get to key destinations
    and services without a car.


    The transportation system the community wants to see will be:
