LADOT has a vision for all people in Los Angeles to have access to safe and affordable transportation choices that treat everyone with dignity and support an equitable, thriving city. LADOT seeks to eliminate the functional and/or structural immobility people experience due to racism and other systemic marginalization, cost burdens, and other forms of exclusion by adopting a Universal Basic Mobility (UBM) approach to transportation. LADOT's UBM Pilot will introduce new shared mobility options for residents and workers, provide transportation subsidies, provide outreach and green jobs training, and expand electrification in South LA, funded in large part by a $13.8 Million grant from the Sustainable Transportation Equity Project (STEP), a new California Air Resources Board (CARB) California Climate Investments (CCI) grant program. The CARB STEP program has the mission to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase access to clean transportation, and address community transportation needs in climate-burdened neighborhoods.
