Embracing these innovations, the 5 Big Moves -unveiled at a joint meeting of the SAN DAG Board of Directors, Policy Advisory Committees, and Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee -are key strategies that will enhance connectivity, increase safety and sustainability, and improve quality of life. The 2021 Regiona l Plan will synchronize the 5 Big Moves to deliver a fully integrated, world class transportation system for the San Diego region. View a brochure about the 5 Big Moves (English I Espanol). Complete Corridors The backbone of a complete transportation system that leverages technology, pricing, and connectivity to repurpose how both highways and local roads are used and managed. Complete Corridors would increase safety, capacity, and efficiency; provided dedicated space for high-speed transit and other pooled services; manage demand in real-time; and maximize use of existing roadways. Local roads are designed and operated to equally accommodate all users, including transit, cars, bikes, pedestrians, and commercial vehicles. Features may include dynamically managed curb space, transit amenities, bike facilities, pedestrian refuges, or smart intersection systems. Smart intersection systems would improve safety for all modes through use of sensors and alerts to veh icles and individuals, and could give transit priority treatments that make transit faster and more reliable. Wireless charging at parking facilities, intersections, and/or roadways will support future induction charging for zero-emission vehicles. Complete Corridors will provide connections to the Mobility Hubs network and infrastructure to support use of shared, on-demand Flexible Fleets. July 23, 2019 Item #8 Page 2 of 7 Transit Leap A complete network of high-capacity, high-speed, and high-frequency transit services that incorporates new transit modes and improves existing services. New high-speed services could include grade separated or tunneled services that span long segments with limited stops connecting major destinations. Potential improvements to existing transit lines include double or triple tracking, higher frequencies, dedicated lanes, and sig.nal priorities managed through Complete Corridors. These routes will connect to Mobility Hubs and provide travelers a true alternative for traveling to work, home, and major destinations as fast or faster than driving. Transit services will feature better integration with other services for limited transfers with better timed connections, offer more individualized transit services, and transition to electric or alternative fuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Mobility Hubs Places of connectivity where a variety of travel options come together to deliver a seamless travel experience in the heart of the communities where people live, work, and play. Mobility Hubs surround high-speed transit in the Transit Leap and integrate with Complete Corridors to align with the network of smart, managed corridors. Supporting land uses that increase housing near transit and enhanced infrastructure for bikes and pedestrians will encourage more people to walk and/or bike. Flexible Fleets also are integrated and offer numerous shared mobility services that extend the reach to high-speed transit and improve access to an individual's origin or destination. Hubs are customized based on the surrounding community's transportation needs and include layers of features including shared mobility services, infrastructure improvements, ITS investments, arid amenities. July 23, 2019 Item #8 Page 3 of 7 Flexible Fleets On-demand, shared, electric vehicles that connect to transit within a Mobility Hub and provide users a convenient travel option between Mobility Hubs along the region's network of Complete Corridors. Micromobility fleets range from shared bikes to shuttles and are supported by infrastructure and dedicated space provided in Complete Corridors. These diverse vehicle sizes and speeds provide personalized travel options for different types of trips and environments. Fleets will use a mobile app where users can plan, book, and pay for all their transportation services in one place. As technology evolves, driverless vehicle fleets will communicate to each other and surrounding infrastructure to mak~ safe and timely connections. This includes transporting travelers and delivering commercial and retail goods. Next OS The "brain" of the entire transportation system. The Next Operating System (Next OS) is an integrated platform that will make the above strategies work together by connecting users, transportation service providers, and infrastructure to orchestrate more efficient movement of people and goods. This holistic approach enables real-time data exchange for seamless multimodal travel, more accessible and cost-effective travel with a single payment and ticket, and dynamic pricing and incentives to balance network performance. This regional system manages supply and demand, drives system-wide optimization, and facilitates increased use of existing transportation systems to achieve desired goals around climate, environment, safety, and mobility. July 23, 2019 Item #8 Page 4 of 7 Exhibit 2 Developing the 2021 Regional Plan A Bold New Vision The SAN DAG Board of Directors approved an action plan on February 22, 2019, to develop a bold new vision for the 2021 Regional Plan with the goal to transform the way people and goods move throughout the San Diego region by providing compelling alternatives to driving. This innovative transportation system will strive to get people where the need to go quickly, meet or exceed state climate goals, and support local jurisdictions' achievements of Climate Action Plan goals using proven technologies and those on the horizon. This new vision for the future will build on the significant public input received so far, as well as ensure social equity, sustainability, supporting land use and housing, and economic opportunities. Completion of the Regional Plan is anticipated in late 2021. In the meantime, SAN DAG will continue to deliver on projects throughout the San Diego region to improve travel options, air quality, and safety. Strategies to Transform our Region's Transportation System As the first major step to developing a bigger and bolder transportation vision, key strategies - known as the 5 Big Moves -were introduced on Friday, April 26, 2019, at a joint meeting of the . SAN DAG Board of Directors, its Policy Advisory Committees, and the Independent Taxpayers Oversight Committee. The 5 Big Moves will set the framework for a new transportation vision for our region that will help meet the San Diego region's environmental goals, add capacity to the freeway system, and create compelling transportation alternatives to driving. View an overview of the 5 Big Moves in this brochure (English I Espanol ). Visit the Vision Lab The SAN DAG Vision Lab is a collaborative space to share ideas and discuss development of our regional transportation vision with SANDAG staff. Public hours in May 2019 include: Tuesdays 3-4 p.m., Thursdays 10:30 a.m .-12:30 p.m., and Fridays 11 a.m.-1:15 p.m. Please check in at the 7th floor lobby of SAN DAG at 401 B Street, San Diego, 92101. Public hours are subject to change. Community Involvement The 2021 Regional Plan will be our region's collective vision for the future. During each step in the plan development process, SAN DAG will reach out to the community to seek your input. The input gathered from thousands of people throughout 2018 -through a series of open houses and subregional community conversations, community-based organization outreach events, Board July 23, 2019 Item #8 Page 5 of 7 The 2021 Regional Plan, when adopted in late 2021, will include a new Federal Regional Transportation Plan (RTP}, Regional Comprehensive Plan (RCP}, and Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS). The Decision to Develop a New Vision SAN DAG conducted significant public outreach in 2018 and planned to develop a draft transportation network for review in winter 2019, and ultimately ask the Board to select a preferred network for the Regional Plan in spring 2020. The draft transportation network strived to meet the greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets set by the state. Modeling results for the draft network showed that, while it came close, the network didn't quite meet the targets. This presented an opportunity for our region to step back and take a bigger picture look at our vision for the future to identify compelling alternatives to driving alone -alternatives that are at least as convenient in terms of time and access . The SAN DAG Board approved the action plan to begin developing a bigger and bolder transportation vision for our region in February 2019, which extended development of the Regional Plan to late 2021.

The incompletion and prioritization of projects is a safety issue for our communities. 14 of 15 projects promised are still not completed. This new direction and redirection of the TransNet funding was not voted by the people. It was allocated for needed infrastructure for our region. This should not be reallocated in this new plan! SANDAG's new Director; Hasan lkhrata's idea is to stop the plans for HWY upgrades altogether and use the monies for mass transit. His interpretation is a bold new transportation vision in 5 BIG MOVES building a transportation system for the San Diego Region. We voters do not want or will not use this rapid transportation vision. We voted to complete the freeway infrastructure. Please vote with the people!

To do so would be a massive "bait and switch". It is also quite disingenuous to propose mass transit funding under a "global warming" ruse. If certain politicians want more mass transit, let them propose a separate distinct new tax and then let the voters decide! Thank you. Sent from my iPhone 1 Carlsbad City Council Meeting 7 /23/19 Mary Oren Carlsbad resident Tfem #8 My name is Mary Oren, I'm here tonight as a resident of CB and representative of the Sierra Club to say thank you in particular to Cori Schumacher for her courageous support of SANDAG's 5 Big Moves. It was exciting to be at the recent SANDAG meeting with so many people present to voice their opinions and make some important decisions toward our transportation future. Cori is working hard to provide Carlsbad and our communities with a state of the art transportation system that will better meet our CO2 emission goals and improve our quality of life throughout the county of San Diego. Here in Carlsbad we offer a great example with the Coaster giving residents a better opportunity to commute OT for work and play that truly is the envy of other communities and it is my greatest hope that we will be able to provide transit options to our neighbors inland and further south soon ... while also increasing frequency for us here along the coast! Tomorrow is an important Webinar seminar at noon if you want to sign up it's easy and very informative just go to ______ . Last week covered transit and this week is focused on the hubs that will connect our transportation options. Anyone who has traveled beyond San Diego knows there are better ways to get around and better things happening all over the world for people on the go. So, why delay San Diego's emergence into a future that's happening now in other places? It's time to offer state of the art solutions and solve our mobility challenges. We have an epically exciting opportunity being presented to us with the help of SANDAG leadership today! Thank you to you Cori for helping to lead the way! And to Carlsbad for setting a great example. Tammy Cloud-McMinn From: Council Internet Email Sent: To: Wednesday, July 24, 2019 8:53 AM City Clerk Cc: Jason Haber Subject: FW: Use of SAN DAG Funding This email is regarding agenda item #8 from last night. From: wwmorris@ Sent: Tuesday, July 2019 4:54 PM To: Council Internet Email <CityCouncil@carlsbadca.gov> Subject: Use of SAN DAG Funding Carlsbad City Council Members, We are alarmed at the information provided to us that our representative to SANDAG is supporting congestion pricing and reallocating SANDAG funds away from repairing our roads and towards the improvement of mass transit. Although mass transit fills a need for a small percentage of our homeowners and residents, train ridership hasn't increased any in recent years, showing that the majority of our population prefers ride-sharing or using their own vehicles. We want you to know that we are NOT IN FAVOR of congestion pricing, nor are we in favor of reallocating funds from Carlsbad street repair.
