Access, Mobility and Transportation Choice: Sustain and improve a multimodal transportation <br />system to support regional growth, maintain regional economic competitiveness and provide <br />choices and reliability for the system's users.

In addition to planning for the recreational needs of its <br />residents, the Council encourages communities to plan local trail connections to the Regional Parks <br />System. Together, the region, the regional park implementing agencies, local communities, nonprofit <br />organizations, and the private sector can preserve natural areas and enhance multimodal access to <br />regional parks and trails. <br />13 <br />
