Our goal is to create a safe, efficient, and accessible transportation network for everyone who lives, works, and travels in Harrisonburg.
Use the resources on this page to explore ongoing projects, completed studies, and opportunities to get involved in shaping the City’s transportation future.
Transportation Projects
Projects involve physical improvements such as new sidewalks, bike lanes, street repaving, or intersection upgrades. Once they are funded, projects go through three stages: preliminary engineering (including public outreach), right-of-way acquisition, and construction.

Transportation Studies and Plans
Studies are conducted before projects begin. They help identify needs, evaluate alternatives, and gather public input to guide future projects and priorities.
Biking & Walking
Harrisonburg supports active transportation through its expanding network of bike lanes, shared-use paths, and pedestrian improvements. Learn more about routes, safety resources, and ongoing efforts to improve mobility for all users.

The program works to improve street and campus safety, encourage safe travel behaviors, and foster a culture that supports walking and biking to school.
