The Lake Worth Beach Mobility Plan, developed by WGI, aims to enhance the movement of people and goods within the community, integrating various transportation modes such as roads, sidewalks, trails, and transit systems. This comprehensive plan not only addresses the current state of mobility but also anticipates future needs by analyzing demographic trends, land use, and emerging technologies. The plan’s primary goal is to create a safer, more efficient, and inclusive transportation network that accommodates all modes of travel, including walking, cycling, and new mobility options like bike and scooter shares.

A significant component of the Lake Worth Beach Mobility Plan is its integration with a safety action plan. This safety-focused aspect prioritizes improvements to reduce traffic fatalities and injuries, aligning with the city’s Vision Zero Resolution, which aims to eliminate traffic deaths. By incorporating a safety action plan, Lake Worth Beach can compete for federal funding through grants like the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant, created under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. This funding is crucial for implementing the identified safety improvements and achieving the plan’s vision.

Community engagement played a vital role in the development of the Lake Worth Beach Mobility Plan. Through surveys and public consultations, WGI gathered insights and priorities from residents, ensuring the plan reflects the community’s needs and preferences. Best practices in policy and design, such as complete streets, transit-oriented development, and mobility hubs, were incorporated to create a more connected and accessible urban environment. The plan outlines a phased implementation framework, prioritizing projects in target areas and corridors to achieve long-term mobility goals efficiently and equitably.
