Develop a regional transportation plan that improves mobility for residents, goods, and services throughout the region by using the advantages of air, marine, and land transportation.

frequency, speed, safety, affordability, environmental responsibility, and the unique character
of our communities.

Support Economic Vitality: Improve regional transportation opportunities for commerce;
provide basic infrastructure needed to encourage business and growth within each community
and throughout the region; and support development of utility lines, energy, and other natural
resources.

Improve System Efficiency: Develop a transportation system that is sustainable for the future;
make choices that are cost effective to the user and the state; and, where reasonable,
coordinate the development of transportation and utilities to reduce environmental impact and
gain efficiencies.

Maintain or Improve Modal Safety: Apply sound engineering principles, including intelligent
transportation systems technology; provide adequate maintenance; and work with
enforcement, educational and emergency medical response entities.
