The Sustainable Mobility Plan effort will prioritize infrastructure project to close gaps that are hindering the use of alternative modes of transportation like biking, walking, transit and safe routes to schools. A robust infrastructure network will provide more options for the community to choose one or a combination of transportation methods other than driving alone. Infrastructure improvement projects identified through the sui tainable Mobility Plan will be incorporated into the city's annual Capital Improvement Progrirh. •~;%//,: Q'.1/ /,7/_j/.-1/,y In addition to the Sustainable Mobility Plan, the city wilhlfy~.lifute appropriate TDM 4;,;,~:Y '«•:«% infra~tructure imp_rovements through other major ;l~~~Jforts/li,~~/he Village & Barrio Master Plan 1mplementat1on. ~;:$\ ·{J0 , /.».~. 1/ -.;;@~, ~: 0_;, ·.;.,_ ... }-;::, Any new transportation services that is availapl~Jn Carlsbad either tnr6\igh efforts led by the . ·, ,.,..-;.,:,,,..,. . :~_z?-.,.,., city or through partnership with regional transpdr,t~Jion ageocies such as·SANDAG or NCTD also ·. /·. ,,, ., .. fall into the category of infrastructure.

The Village & Barrio Master Plan is an 'exa mple of such an effort. The plan addressed TDM by evaluating parking requirements in the geographic area of the plan, parking program elements and infrastructure improvements that would encourage all people in the Village & Barrio to consider transportation options, whether they are residents, employees or even visitors. City staff will work with the city's Chief Innovation Officer to identify potential areas where TDM strategies can leverage technology effectively or to coordinate transportation-related innovation efforts with this plan. February 26, 2019 Item #4 Page 8 of 31 Attachment A 3. Guiding Resources TDM is not something developers or businesses have an expertise in and will need consultative assistance. Carlsbad is at the forefront of municipal climate change by launching a proactive TDM plan. City staff believe an important part of the citywide TDM plan is appropriate assistance to make choices that are cost-effective and project-specific. The TDM ordinance references the TDM Handbook, which will serve as a "living" document to provide guidance to the development and business community on how to implement TDM in a specific context. The handbook outlines a comprehensive list of strategies, details hqw the strategy can be /4'1! implemented and which modes each strategy addresses. d§;{> ,f,;;-?~?>' Once the ordinance is approved and adopted, the TDM,;;~~,b~ok will be accompanied by more d ·1 d . f . b TDM h .
