The South Bay to Sorrento (SB2S) Comprehensive Multimodal Corridor Plan (CMCP) studied ways to improve transportation safety, increase travel choices, and improve mobility.
The plan aims to guide development of an innovative transportation network, transforming the way people and goods move through the San Diego region. The CMCP evaluates all travel modes and transportation facilities in a defined corridor – highways and freeways, parallel and connecting roadways, transit (bus, bus rapid transit, light rail, intercity rail, etc.), pathways, and bikeways.
