Final Draft Of The ‘Austin Strategic Mobility Plan’ Released
A final draft was released last week for the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) which outlines a vision of sustainable growth through 2039.
The ASMP calls for public and private sectors to work together to improve air quality, reduce congestion and better connect the community at large.
It has eight mobility goals tied to this: commuter delay, travel choice, health and safety, affordability, sustainability, placemaking, economic prosperity and innovation.
The Austin Transportation Department is wrapping up two years’ worth of creating the new plan and City Council members are scheduled to start the approval process in late March.
Once the plan is approved council would next consider implementing a street impact fee, which is allowed under the local government code. Impact fees are a mechanism for funding public infrastructure necessitated by new development.
The city of Austin is inviting public comment as the final draft of the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan makes its way to various city boards and commissions from now through the end of March.
