Along with the Lake Tahoe Regional Plan Update, “Mobility 2035” was also approved by regional board in December 2012. Mobility 2035 is a coordinated transportation improvement plan that helps reduce the environmental impact of transportation, create walkable communities, and alternatives to driving at Lake Tahoe.
It also allows the Region to achieve targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2035 by coordinating nearly $1.6 billion in projects and funding through the Sustainable Communities Strategy, which is blueprint to integrate transportation, land use, and housing strategies in a way that makes the area meet environmental thresholds and emission reductions for cars and light trucks. It also addresses environmental goals through monitoring of performance measures, and protection of natural resources through conservation and restoration of natural habitat.
It also falls inline with the United Nations, “Agenda 21” planning. Unfortunately, the media is either ignorant of this or is duplicitous in it’s lack of research and reporting of this fact.
