The San Diego City Council on Tuesday approved its first Mobility Master Plan, intended to create a more equitable and sustainable transportation system throughout the city.

It also promotes safe street designs that will help decrease pedestrian and bicyclist injuries and deaths, in line with the city’s Vision Zero plan.

    “This Mobility Master Plan is a major step toward making our streets safer while protecting our environment,” said Councilmember Stephen Whitburn, chair of the council’s Active Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.

    The plan, two years in the making, encourages ways to get around the city without driving a personal vehicle, with the intention of reducing congestion and pollution.

    It includes “community profiles” for a more in-depth look at areas of the city on which the plan focuses. More than 300 mobility projects and 15 mobility programs are represented in the plan.

    “By prioritizing safe, equitable and climate-friendly transportation solutions where they are needed the most, we can best ensure that every resident, regardless of income or where they live, has safe and enjoyable ways to get around,” said City Planning Director Heidi Vonblum.

    The first draft was released to the public in October 2023 with a revised version released in October following community input.
