City of Fort Collins
Active Modes Advisory Board
2025 Work Plan
Purpose
The purpose of the Active Modes Advisory Board (AMAB) is to address issues related to
active modes of transportation and to seek guidance from active modes-focused
stakeholders to achieve the City’s climate, mode shift, safety, and equity goals. Active
modes of transportation include walking, biking, micromobility (such as scooters and
skateboards), and wheelchair use. Active modes may also include human-powered and
small electric devices.
Objectives
1. Work Plan Development: Create and approve 2026 work plan as appropriate.
A. Conduct annual review of AMAB Work Plan, Objectives, and operational
procedures.
2. Boards and Commissions Coordination:
A. Share active modes information with other city Boards, as part of their Public
Participation at regular Board meetings. Unless there is a prior vote by the AMAB,
each AMAB member should state they are not representing the AMAB in this
meeting.
B. Hold collaborative meetings with other City Boards when appropriate.
3. City of Fort Collins Support: Advise City Council and Staff in the following areas by
reviewing progress and providing feedback as needed. Encourage the inclusion of active
modes for these areas.
A. City plans and studies such as the Active Modes Plan, Pedestrian Needs
Assessment, 15-minute City Analysis, Vision Zero Action Plan, Strategic Trails Plan,
Our Climate Future, Shift Your Ride Travel Options Plan, Transportation Master
Plan, and Master Street Plan. Leverage these plans in advising City Council and
Staff on Active Modes.
B. City active modes programs such as Safe Routes to School, adult education and
outreach, shared micro mobility, asphalt art, neighborhood traffic mitigation, traffic
safety education and enforcement, and the Shift Your Ride Travel Options program.
C. City departments and programs such as (but not limited to) capital projects, street
improvements, trails, traffic signal projects, parking facilities, parks, and recreation
programs.
4. Community Coordination: Consult with other organizations that have a role in supporting
active modes of transportation in Fort Collins such as the Colorado Department of
Transportation, North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization, Larimer County,
Colorado State University, Poudre School District, Downtown Development Authority, and
active-modes advocacy organizations such as Bike Fort Collins, the FC Bike Co-Op,
Overland Mountain Bike Association, Launch, and others as appropriate.
A. The AMAB will be a resource to hear residents’ opinions regarding active modes of
transportation. As a voice for the community, these needs, issues, and concerns
should be communicated to City of Fort Collins staff and Council by the AMAB.
5. Policy Opportunities: Define AMAB priorities and action items as needed, or on an
annual basis. For example:
A. Review progress and provide support for the 50% mode share goal as part of the
Active Modes Plan.
B. Provide support for the Vision Zero program through participation and integration
with city plans.
C. Promote equitable community wide access for all active modes of transportation in
support of the Active Modes Plan, giving consideration to related council priorities,
such as safe routes to schools, as determined by the board.
D. Support recreational facilities and infrastructure for active modes to help community
members, including youth and historically excluded groups, develop skills and
confidence, and build a culture of support for utilizing active modes to achieve mode
share goals.
E. Consider innovative ways to draw visitor and community member attention to the
City's focus on and prioritization of active modes that help define community
expectations in support of safety and access for everyone.
6. Experiential Opportunities: Facilitate tours and site visits for the AMAB to experience the
active modes system as a group and on an individual level.
A. AMAB members should be a conduit for community feedback through data-informed
recommendations and experiential learning.
