Updated Access & Mobility Plan Goals (Summer 2021)

Part of the Access & Mobility Plan Effort

Earlier this year, the City revised three of the nine goals identified in the Access and Mobility Plan. The revisions were based on the input received from four public workshops held in November 2020.

Since then additional updates have been made to four of the Plan’s goals. The changes reflect the comments gathered from a series of 18 community meetings. All feedback and insights were considered, particularly the need to elevate the voices and concerns of community members living with disabilities. This feedback helped us identify and refine the goals that required more inclusive language.

We appreciate the invaluable insights and constructive feedback the community provides. These insights ensure the Access and Mobility Plan will be inclusive and consider the mobility needs of all communities in San José.
