Goal:

Ensure transportation infrastructure and services are inclusive and accessible for people of all ages, languages, and abilities.

Objectives:

• Expand compliance with ADA across all modes of transportation, aiming to exceed minimum legal requirements through best practices in accessible infrastructure, vehicles, and services

• Integrate universal design into the planning, design, and delivery of transportation projects to ensure systems are usable and accessible for everyone.

• Address physical and functional barriers, prioritizing investments in high-need areas and connection to destinations through extended transit coverage.

• Improve access to transportation-related information for seniors and limited-tech users.

Goal: Build a sustainable transportation network that connects people in Los Angeles to jobs, schools, services, and cultural destinations. 

Objectives:

• Close key gaps in multimodal networks to support walking, biking, and transit.

• Ensure reliable first/last mile connections for pedestrians and bicyclists.

• Support economic opportunity through access to jobs and other essential destinations.

• Improve transit connectivity by increasing frequency and service reliability.

Goal:

Deliver transportation projects that improve public health, reduce the environmental footprint of travel, and help communities prepare for the impacts of a changing climate.

Objectives: 

• Expand infrastructure for zero-emission vehicles, transit, active transportation, and other low-carbon mobility options.

• Reduce the number of trips made in single-occupancy vehicles and decrease total vehicle miles traveled (VMT). 

• Prioritize green infrastructure (e.g., street trees, shade, cool pavement) in communities experiencing extreme heat and environmental burdens. 

• Use public health and environmental justice data (e.g., asthma rates, heat indexes) to guide investments in high need communities.

• Design transportation projects that cut emissions and reduce environmental impacts such as air and noise pollution, runoff, and urban heat.

• Invest in infrastructure that helps neighborhoods adapt to climate change and build long-term resilience.

Goal:

Build public trust by ensuring transparent governance, consistent coordination across agencies, and community engagement that centers dignity, compassion, and respect.

Objectives: 

• Expand public access to transportation data, funding decisions, upcoming projects.

• Standardize engagement practices across departments while tailoring them to project scale, type, and community context.

• Prioritize inclusive engagement and participation in communities historically excluded from transportation planning.

• Support community education and capacity building to help residents understand, navigate, and influence transportation decisions.

• Strengthen interagency coordination to provide seamless, consistent public-facing communication.

Goal:

Funding, staffing, and timelines across departments, prioritizing maintenance and rehabilitation, and planning for long-term infrastructure needs.

Objectives: 

• Align funding, staffing, and readiness across departments to ensure efficient coordinated and project delivery.

• Steer limited resources toward projects that offer the greatest long-term value, reduce risk, and advance shared transportation goals.

• Prioritize a state of good repair through proactive asset management and timely rehabilitation of existing infrastructure.

• Account for future maintenance and operational costs when evaluating new projects to ensure ongoing sustainability.

• Use transparent, data-driven tools to weigh tradeoffs, inform funding decisions, and build public accountability.
