t Metropolitan Council Local Planning Handbook 1 Section 4. Transportation <br />April 2008 <br />Describe and map <br />transit service <br />Appendix G of the 2030 Transportation Po /icy Plan lists the studies <br />adopted by the Metropolitan Council as of December 2004. <br />Recommendations from these studies should be incorporated into <br />the transportation plans of participating cities and counties and <br />should be used by implementing agencies to guide improvements in <br />the corridor. <br />The 2030 Transportation Policy Plan includes strategies for reaching <br />the regional transit goals of increasing current ridership by 50 <br />percent by 2020 and doubling it by 2030. To meet these goals in a <br />cost effective manner, the Transportation Policy Plan outlines policies <br />and standards for developing transit service, transitways and transit <br />facilities. <br />The transit component must include the following information in <br />order to identify transit service available to local residents and <br />employers: <br />• Description of existing transit routes and paratransit services. <br />These are found in the Metro Transit website. <br />• Identification of the municipality's transit market area as <br />shown in Figure 4 -3 and Table 4 -1 in the Transportation Policy <br />Plan. <br />• A policy that the municipality will work with the Metropolitan <br />Council or with an opt -out transit provider to determine future <br />transit services consistent with the municipality's transit <br />market area and its associated service standards and <br />strategies. <br />• Illustration of existing and planned transit corridors shown in <br />Figure 4 -1 and 4 -2 of the 2030 Transportation Policy Plan. <br />Planned station locations for transitways shown in Figure 4 -2 <br />should also be shown. <br />http://www.metrocouncil.ord/plan <br />ninq /transportation /TPP /2004 /TP <br />PAppendixG.pdf <br />http://www.metrocouncil.ord/plan <br />ninq /transportation /TPP /2004 /TP <br />PO4Chapter4 Final.pdf#page =1 <br />http://www.metrotransit.ord/servi <br />ceInfo/mapSystem.asp <br />http://www.metrocouncil.ord/plan <br />ninq /transportation /TPP /2004 /TP <br />PO4Chapter4 Final.pdf#page =9 <br />http://www.metrocouncil.ord/plan <br />ninq /transportation /TPP /2004 /TP <br />PAppendixM.pdf <br />http://www.metrocouncil.orq/plan <br />ninq /transportation /TPP /2004 /TP <br />PO4Chapter4 Final.pdf#page =3 <br />4 -8 <br />
