Goal: Create a transportation system that <br />protects and enhances the environment <br />Objectives <br />• Reduce energy use and/or use alternative power to reduce <br />emissions and benefit air and water quality <br />• Decrease the risk of flooding for facilities through location and <br />adaptive design <br />• Minimize exposure to natural and man-made hazards <br />• Mitigate the negative stormwater impacts that degrade the region's <br />valuable gray and green infrastructure <br />• Use transportation projects as opportunities to restore or improve <br />natural resource features and habitat <br />• Promote the installation of stormwater BMPs, sustainable landscapes <br />and improve the tree canopy in transportation corridors <br />• Explore and implement road salt reduction strategies <br />• Improve air quality by encouraging alternate modes of <br />transportation and shorter commutes <br />Performance Indicators <br />Indicator Definition <br />Desired Baseline Target <br />Trend (2017) (2040) <br />Environment Wetland acres preserved/restored <br />1 <br />TBD <br />TBD <br />Roadway salt use <br />l <br />TBD TBD <br />Trees planted versus removed <br />N/A Planted > Removed <br />National Ambient Air Quality Standards <br />(NAAQS) <br />Attained Attainment <br />Vehicle mile traveled (VMT) <br />2 billion Reduce to 2000 <br />levels <br />Supporting plans, programs and partnerships <br />Natural Resources Strategic Plan <br />Sustainable Landscape Guidelines <br />16 <br />
