Section 2 <br />How Will We Be Guided <br />Our goals and objectives will guide investment <br />and policy decisions to achieve our <br />transportation vision, and our established <br />performance indicators will measure and track <br />our progress towards year 2040. <br />Addressing transportation challenges requires <br />changing the way transportation is planned <br />and managed. Increased focus on system <br />performance, continuous improvement, <br />innovation, and stronger partnerships is <br />necessary to further integrate transportation <br />elements to meet communities' mobility needs. <br />Transportation Vision <br />Hennepin County's transportation network <br />promotes economic vitality and enhances quality of <br />life by developing and operating a safe, <br />environmentally responsible and multimodal <br />transportation network. <br />Our transportation system is part of an integrated <br />network of facilities that are owned, funded, and <br />managed by federal, state, regional, and local entities. <br />It is critical that these systems work together in a <br />seamless fashion.
