1.Summary of Regional Strategies <br />This Plan has been prepared to be consistent with the regional transportation strategies outlined <br />in the Metropolitan Council 2040 Transportation Policy Plan (TPP). Similar to this Plan, the TPP <br />evaluates the existing transportation system, identifies transportation challenges to the region, <br />and sets regional goals, objectives, and priorities to meet the transportation needs of current <br />residents while accommodating the region's anticipated growth. The TPP also guides local <br />agencies in coordinating land use and transportation and establishes regional performance <br />measures and targets. <br />The TPP is guided by the following goals: <br />• Transportation system stewardship: Sustainable investments in the transportation <br />system are protected by strategically preserving, maintaining, and operating system <br />assets. <br />• Safety and Security: The regional transportation system is safe and secure for all users. <br />• Access to Destinations: People and businesses prosper by using a reliable, affordable, and <br />efficient multimodal transportation system that connects them to destinations throughout <br />the region and beyond. <br />• Competitive Economy: The regional transportation system supports the economic <br />competitiveness, vitality, and prosperity of the region and State. <br />• Healthy Environment: The regional transportation system advances equity and <br />contributes to communities' livability and sustainability while protecting the natural, <br />cultural, and developed environments. <br />• Leveraging Transportation Investment to Guide Land Use: The region leverages <br />transportation investments to guide land use and development patterns that advance the <br />regional vision of stewardship, prosperity, livability, equity, and sustainability. <br />40 <br />Chapter X - Transportation (DRAFT) <br />Page X-3 <br />Adopted XXXXXXX XX, 2017 <br />
