strategies, programs and incentives that achieve reductions in single -occupant vehicle trips, vehicle -miles traveled, and greenhouse gas emissions through travel behavior change. The Action Plan is summarized in the 2050 TPP Travel Demand Management Investment Plan. System Plan Considerations Affecting Your Community Your community should consult the complete TPP in preparing its local comprehensive plan. In addition, your community should consult Imagine 2050 and the current version of the Metropolitan Council's Local Planning Handbook (LPH) for specific information needed in its comprehensive plan. Specific system plan considerations affecting your community are detailed below. Regional Highway System There is a principal arterial located within your community: • US Highway 10 The TPP includes programmed safety investments in your community, these investments can be seen on this system statement and in Figure 7 of the TPP. Communities should incorporate these investments in your local plans and consider local planning to support these investments on your local system. Regional Transit System Your community is located within the following Transit Market Areas: TMA 3, TMA 4, and TMA 5. Your community is located within the Transit Capital Levy District. • TMA 3 is primarily lower density Urban Edge and Suburban communities. It is characterized by lower density and less transit -supportive street networks and land use but with some pockets of denser development. Transit service in this market area includes suburban local routes, express and commuter service, and non -regular route transit services, usually dial -a -ride, providing basic transportation access. • TMA 4 is primarily Suburban Edge communities along with portions of Suburban communities. It is characterized by low population and job densities that do not support frequent local transit service and a spread out, often circuitous, street network that hinders efficient routing. Transit service in Market Area 4 is mainly peak -period express and commuter service at park -and- rides which can effectively gather the lower density transit demand into one spot. There are some suburban local routes, including suburb - to -suburb connectors, although service is typically very infrequent. Non -regular route transit, usually dial -a -ride, is generally available. • TMA 5 is primarily Rural communities including rural centers but also some suburban edge communities as well as freestanding town centers characterized by very low - density development or undeveloped land not well suited for regular -route transit service outside of limited peak -period express and commuter service. Your community should acknowledge in your local comprehensive plan existing transitway and planned investments for your community in the TPP. The transitway with a mode and alignment identified located within your community is: Northstar. 2025 SYSTEM STATEMENT TRANSPORTATION 12
