About
The Glendale Transportation Plan is the City’s roadmap for how people and goods will move around Glendale over the next 25 years.

The plan helps guide where Glendale invests in streets, sidewalks, bike facilities, and transit to best meet the needs of residents, businesses, and visitors. It also ensures future projects are well-coordinated, funded, and focused on creating a transportation system that works for everyone.
Simply put, Glendale On the Move is about keeping our city moving—today and into the future.
