On Monday, city staff will discuss several traffic safety related projects with the Traffic & Mobility Commission. 

Traffic & Mobility Commission
March 6, 4 p.m.
Carlsbad City Hall, 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive
Watch online 

Some of the topics include:

Paying for and completing projects in the Sustainable Mobility Plan, which focuses on traffic safety, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing travel options for people of all ages and abilities. 

• The plan includes projects like bicycle and pedestrian access improvements, transit and trail connections, Safe Routes to School programs and improvements in underserved communities.
• City staff are evaluating how to complete the projects and how to pay for them to be constructed, including an updated fee collected from developers.

An update on how the city evaluates our transportation network for people who walk, bike and drive.

• In the past, transportation around cities was almost exclusively focused on driving, except for dense urban areas where public transit is well utilized.
• Now, we’re focused on moving people rather than cars.
• We are finding ways to make other modes of transportation a safe and inviting alternative where that makes sense. 

The Traffic & Mobility Commission meets on the first Monday of each month and is a good place to learn about projects in the works and provide input. 

The agendas and agenda packets are posted on the commission page. Sign up to get notified when they are available. You can watch Monday’s meeting on our website or come in person. Comments can be emailed before the meeting to traffic@carlsbadca.gov
