Updating the Mobility Element for the City of Los Angeles
December 14, 2011
Whether you live, work or play in the City of Los Angeles, everyone agrees - Los Angeles can do better with its transportation system. In order to address one of its most pressing issues, the City of Los Angeles has begun a citywide effort to update its transportation plan, the Mobility Element of the General Plan. Last updated in 1999, the Mobility Element (formerly the Transportation Element) is now being updated to reflect the policies and programs that will give Angelenos a full range of options including bicycling, walking, carpooling, and transit, to meet their mobility needs. The City seeks to integrate complete street principles in the new Mobility Element in order to address the issues that impact all users of the transportation system.
