Active Transportation Strategic Plan (ATSP)

The Metro Active Transport, Transit and First/Last Mile (MAT) Program is a long-term funding program created under Measure M. It supports infrastructure that makes it easier to walk, bike, and roll across LA County. Over 40 years, the MAT Program is expected to provide over $857 million (in 2015 dollars) for eligible capital projects delivered by cities, transit agencies, and other public partners.

Metro’s Equity Platform Framework helps guide transportation decisions toward communities with the greatest need. It emphasizes access to opportunity—such as jobs, education, and health—and ensures Metro considers equity early in the planning process. The framework is organized around four pillars: Define and Measure, Listen and Learn, Focus and Deliver, and Train and Grow.

First/Last Mile Areas are the zones around major transit stops where people begin or complete their trips on foot, by bike, or using micromobility. These areas are prioritized for improvements like crosswalks, sidewalks, lighting, and signage to make it safer and easier to reach transit.

Pedestrian Districts are areas with high levels of foot traffic and a strong potential for walking trips but limited infrastructure. These districts are targeted for projects that enhance pedestrian comfort, access, and safety—especially in commercial centers, near schools, or in densely populated neighborhoods.

Active Transportation Corridors are continuous routes used for biking, walking, or rolling over longer distances. These corridors connect neighborhoods, transit lines, and regional destinations and are eligible for improvements such as bike lanes, trails, and upgraded crossings to support non-motorized travel.
