Vision

The draft vision for the Transportation System Plan is:

Building on the foundation of our existing assets, we envision a well-maintained and designed transportation system that:

• provides safety, mobility, accessibility and connectivity for people, goods and services;
• is tailored to our distinct geographies; and
• supports future needs and land use plans.

Goals

The Transportation System Plan includes six goals that are a more refined expression of the vision. Goals are intended to guide the implementation of the vision. The draft goals are:

• Safety and Health: Promote a transportation system that supports and improves our safety, health, and security.
• Fiscally Responsible: Promote a fiscally responsible approach to protect and improve the existing transportation system and meet future needs.
• Local Business and Jobs: Plan the transportation system to promote a prosperous and adaptable economy and further the economic well-being of businesses and residents of the county.
• Reduce Disparities: Reduce disparities in safe and reliable transportation between communities and key destinations.
• Sustainable: Provide a transportation system that supports efficient use of resources and optimizes benefits to the environment, the economy and the community.
• Livable and Local: Tailor transportation solutions, including policies, programs, and infrastructure projects, to suit the unique needs of local communities.

Discussion Question: What do these goals mean to you?

The project team will capture feedback and then craft objectives that support these goals.
