Background
Safe and efficient transportation plays a key role in building and maintaining a strong community. Over the last several decades, the City of Naperville has experienced tremendous growth. In 1960, Naperville’s population was just under 13,000. City planners predict that the population will reach more than 155,000 by 2020. Accommodating this growth provides numerous challenges.
The Naperville City Council recognized the importance of quality transportation by including a vision for the future of transportation in the City's Strategic Plan. To maintain and improve transportation mobility in the future, Naperville has created a Comprehensive Transportation Plan.
Final Report
Approved by the Naperville City Council on December 17, 2002, the Comprehensive Transportation Plan is a policy document designed to guide decision makers in addressing local transportation issues. The document is made up of fourteen (14) individual components that define the city’s philosophy for addressing specific transportation needs.
