History | Mission Statement | Goals & Objectives

Mobility 21 is a regional effort involving five counties dedicated to the development of solutions to the transportation issues facing Southern California.

Los Angeles County | Orange County | Riverside County

San Bernardino County | Ventura County

History of Mobility 21

Mobility 21 was created in 2002 to bring together elected officials, transportation providers, businesses, local municipalities, labor and community leaders to develop solutions to the transportation issues facing Los Angeles County. This initiative, led by the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) in partnership with the Automobile Club of Southern California, was kicked off at the first Mobility 21 transportation summit on November 18, 2002.

Over 500 people attended the first summit and the group developed resolutions on land use, public transit, streets and highways, goods movement, aviation, transportation financing, and coalition building. A key recommendation included in the resolutions was to launch the Mobility 21 Coalition. The other resolutions have served as an advocacy platform for the Mobility 21 Coalition, which has developed recommendations on various policy issues at the federal and state levels of government.

In 2007, Mobility 21 became a regional effort to focus on the transportation efforts of Southern California. In addition to Los Angeles County, Mobility 21 is comprised of Ventura, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside Counties to engage in a conversation about regional transportation priorities for our 17 million residents.

Mobility 21 Mission Statement
