48 <br />Summary of Regional Strategies <br />This Plan has been prepared to be consistent with the regional transportation strategies outlined in <br />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, and <br />sets regional goals, objectives, and priorities to meet the transportation needs of current residents <br />while accommodating the region's anticipated growth. The TPP also guides local agencies in <br />coordinating land use and transportation and establishes regional performance measures and <br />targets. <br />The TPP is guided by the following goals: <br />• Transportation system stewardship: Sustainable investments in the transportation system <br />are protected by strategically preserving, maintaining, and operating system 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 the <br />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 contributes <br />to communities' livability and sustainability while protecting the natural, cultural, and <br />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 />Cily of RAMSEY <br />August 2018 Draft <br />Comprehensive Plan 2040 <br />
