Town of Vail Launches “Go Vail 2045” Planning Effort to Guide Future Mobility and Transportation Actions

The Town of Vail is kicking off a two-year planning effort that will be used to chart a path for how people and goods will move into, out of, and around the community. The project team for Go Vail 2045, Vail’s Mobility & Transportation Master Plan, will be circulating throughout the community to gather input on the current conditions and the future vision of transportation in Vail. Community members are encouraged to participate in the launch of the Go Vail 2045 process by taking an online mobility survey at www.engagevail.com/govail2045 and in person at the following pop-up events:

  • Vail Transportation Center – 7:30 to 10:30 a.m., Tuesday, July 19
  • Community Picnic at Bighorn Park – 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., Tuesday, July 19
  • Town of Vail Municipal Building – 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, July 19
  • Farmers' Market & Art Show in Vail Village – 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Sunday, July 24
  • Community Picnic at Donovan Pavilion – 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., Tuesday, Aug. 9


To prepare the Mobility & Transportation Master Plan, the project team will be reviewing previous planning documents, analyzing existing transportation patterns, and making recommendations for a variety of transportation and connectivity components including walking, biking, public transit, parking, traffic speeds, noise, loading and delivery, and event circulation.

The town has contracted with Fehr & Peers based in Denver to guide the planning process. Community members will be invited to help shape the plan throughout three major phases of the work, including visioning and goals, initial recommendations and final recommendations, prior to adoption of the Go Vail 2045 plan by the Vail Town Council.

Go Vail 2045 will provide a comprehensive analysis and set of recommendations to improve community connectivity including, meeting travel demand on a variety of transportation modes, efficiently managing deliveries of goods to businesses and residences throughout the community, incorporating emerging transportation technologies into Vail’s policy framework, managing parking demand, and strengthening regional travel opportunities.
