Pedestrian Master Plan Approved by the Mayor and Council
The Mayor and Council adopted and approved the City of Rockville Pedestrian Master Plan on Oct. 30, 2023. The plan outlines a pedestrian transportation vision for the city to enhance pedestrian facilities and improve walking and rolling for everyone. It will be used by city staff, development applicants, elected officials, and the public to guide improvements to the pedestrian environment and update city policies that impact walking and rolling. The creation of a pedestrian plan is a Vision Zero action item and is recommended in the Rockville 2040 Comprehensive Plan.

The Rockville Pedestrian Advocacy Committee (RPAC) was authorized by Mayor and Council in May 2019 with the ultimate goal of improving pedestrian safety and increasing walkability throughout the city.

All RPAC meetings are open to the general public and include an open discussion to address new concerns or pedestrian issues.
