Policies

ST 1

Defer major vehicle transportation-related infrastructure investments through land use, investment in non-automobile modes, and managing existing infrastructure. Ensure municipal transportation-related spending aligns with low-carbon and active transportation objectives. Ensure new or enhanced walking, cycling, and transit infrastructure opportunities are considered whenever undertaking road upgrades and Strategic Transportation, Cycling, and Transit Future Plans. Explore innovations in price-signaling and financing practices, such as paid parking, transportation utility fees or user pay systems, to better account for the public costs of personal vehicular transportation, particularly wherever such opportunities are presented through partnerships, granting opportunities, or other investments in innovation. Support effective goods movement and emergency response through designation, design and protection of routes.
