Measure the successful implementation of the Northwest Regional Plan, which contains six guiding principles for the future of the region: Coordinate and leverage state, local and federal policies and investments; Provide more transportation choices; Promote equitable, affordable housing; Enhance economic competitiveness; Support existing communities; Value communities and neighborhoods.
Hold vehicle miles traveled (VMT) per capita to 2011 levels through reducing the share of single-occupancy vehicle (SOV) commuter trips, increasing the share of pedestrian and bicycle commute trips and public transit ridership, and focusing regional development in or near existing growth centers and villages.
Ensure all of the region’s residents have access to safe and affordable transportation options regardless of age, physical ability, economic status, or other factors.
