Creating a More Connected Community The City continues to expand its multimodal bridge network with construction expected to begin this summer on a pedestrian bridge at Jamboree Road and Michelson Drive. The highly anticipated bridge will enhance pedestrian safety, relieve traffic congestion, and serve as a gateway monument for anyone entering the Irvine Business Complex. The City has also invested in transit. In its first year of service, there were more than 141,000 passenger boardings on Irvine CONNECT, the transit service that extends from the northern end of Irvine to Irvine Station and includes stops at parks, schools, hospitals,
and shopping centers. Ridership levels have made Irvine CONNECT the third busiest transit route in Irvine, including those offered by the Orange County Transportation Authority. To stay up-to-date on the latest developments with Irvine CONNECT, visit irvineconnect.org . With its forward-thinking approach to sustainable
mobility, Irvine is setting a new standard for transportation. By investing in safer cycling
infrastructure, exploring innovative transit options, and fostering regional collaboration, the City is proving that a more connected, vibrant, and environmentally friendly future is not just possible — it’s happening now.
What is Sustainable Mobility? Sustainable mobility is the term used to refer to transportation from an environmental or ecological mindset. On-road transportation is the single largest contributor to Irvine’s greenhouse gas emissions. By incorporating sustainable mobility, the City can mitigate excessive fuel consumption and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
