CALTRANS Addresses Complete Streets

CALTRANS got a new gig. 

Caltrans is no longer exclusively about moving cars, a new Director’s Policy for Complete Streets (DP-37) addresses moving pedestrians, cyclists, transit and private automobiles.   Their new 2022 directive provides technical input and strategic direction on policies and guidance related to walking, biking, and transit. 

Since 2022 Caltrans supports a new department dedicated to multi-modal transportation planning,   The Caltrans Complete Streets Action Plan is a planning guide for the Caltrans new Directive 37 to build Complete Streets including policy and procedures, standards, funding data collection and promotion. 

The CASP identifies key high-priority efforts needed to implement the new Director’s Policy starting 2022.

We can now say "Complete Streets" and "CALTRANS " in the same sentence, so let's embrace the positive changes Caltrans can bring to Laguna Beach.
