TMP Goals

people to transit for more types of trips
• Create a system that responds to everyone’s needs, especially
those who rely on transit most
• Create great places where modes connect to integrate the
pedestrian, bicycle, and transit networks
• Use transit as a tool to meet sustainability, growth management,
and economic development goals
• Balance system implementation with fiscal, operational, and policy
constraints
