ITEM 61: Carlsbad Coastal Mobility Readiness Plan — Information Item Only
City Traffic Engineer Bilse and Program Manager Sangster presented information to the Traffic
Safety Commission regarding the Carlsbad Coastal Mobility Readiness Plan. This was for
informational purposes only. No action from the commission is required.
The Carlsbad Coastal Mobility Readiness Plan develops strategies to take advantage of the rapidly
advancing changes in our transportation system. These changes include the introduction of new
mobility choices such as car share, bike share, Uber, shuttle/trolley services and the beginning
phases of autonomous transportation technology. The objective of this work product is to better
connect Carlsbad to the coastline, allowing more people to access more activities and services.
Sustainable mobility concepts are a part of a bigger picture that encourages self -travel choices,
vehicles that use less energy, and improved mobility connections. The Coastal Mobility Readiness
Plan will help our stakeholders envision a seamless, interconnected coastal transportation system
that closely links quality of life issues to economic growth. The plan identifies strategies that will
strengthen our community and the businesses that serve them.
