Regional Goals. Goal 1: Increase the safety of the transportation system.

Transcription

1 Regional Goals Goal : Increase the safety of the transportation system. Goal : rotect and enhance the natural, historic, and neighborhood environment while making improvements to the existing system or building new sections. Goal : reserve the existing transportation system. Goal : Align transportation projects with economic development goals and opportunities. Goal : Improve coordination of transportation planning between VDOT, cities, counties, and towns.

2 Study Approach Development of regional transportation goals and objectives, ublic involvement, Data compilation and collection, Data analysis, Identification of transportation deficiencies and recommendations, and Environmental and cost reviews. ound 0 ennington Gap Te n n e s s e e
