Compass Blueprint Strategic Plan
Glendale is improving livability and sustainability through its implementation of the Compass Blueprint Strategic Plan. The Compass Blueprint is a series of strategies to improve the quality of life put forth by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) as part of the Regional Comprehensive Plan. Glendale’s Compass Blueprint strategy has eight points that aim at coordinating growth, including focusing growth downtown and strengthening neighborhoods.

Mobility Study
The MOBILITY STUDY gathers under a single umbrella the full range of best-practices to reduce auto congestion and promote multi-modal transportation. Each of these - free bus shuttle, parking benefit districts, in-lieu fees, and transit-priority streets, among others - is tailored to the physical vision articulated by the Downtown Specific Plan.

Glendale Safe & Healthy Streets Plan
The Glendale Safe & Healthy Streets Plan is a collaboration of the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition and the City of Glendale. Our goal is to make Glendale a better, safer place to walk or ride a bike.
