Transportation & Land Use
Goal:
To design and connect our homes, businesses, and public spaces around an efficient transportation network. We focus on expanding our public transportation systems, making it easier to travel between destinations without a car, transitioning to electric vehicles, and expanding charging infrastructure.
Objectives:
TLU1: Mode Shift: Strategies to decrease private vehicle use, such as transit-oriented development, public transportation, biking accessibility, complete streets and employer transit partnerships. See what's happening!
TLU2: Vehicle Electrification: Expansion of electric vehicle charging infrastructure, transition of municipal and bus fleets to electric vehicles, and electric vehicle incentives. See what's happening!
