1 Regional Goals The TJDC developed the United Jefferson Area Mobility lan (UnJAM), a transportation planning process and documents to address the needs of the Thomas Jefferson region. The UnJAM process resulted in three overarching goals: Improve connections throughout the region; Improve mobility within neighborhoods, towns, and counties; and Make transportation choices that help foster livable communities. The UnJAM process also developed regional mobility goals including: Improved, expanded roadway network; Efficient transit system integrated with other travel modes; edestrian friendly streets and roadways; Complete bicycle network and amenities; Improved integration and support for ridesharing and travel demand management; Safe and efficient freight movement; and olicy and regulatory changes. Each county within the TJDC has developed its own set of transportation objectives. These objectives were cross-referenced to develop a list of shared objectives as a part of the UnJAM process. Objective : Improve primary roads as needed between designated growth areas and within the region. Objective : Increase the use of transit and travel demand management to lessen the impacts of commuter traffic on rural roadways and improve mobility. Objective : reserve the rural character of the region. Objective : Focus growth in designated growth areas Objective : Encourage safe opportunities for walking and bicycling within and between growth areas.
