18 DRAFT VISION STATEMENT The Cape Cod Metropolitan Planning Organization envisions a transportation system that supports the environmental and economic vitality of the region through infrastructure investment that focuses on livability, sustainability, equity, and preservation of the character that makes our special place special.

19 Vision Statement Establishes the overarching vision of the plan Goals Expands on the Vision Statement in seven areas of emphasis Objectives Defines focused elements of the Goals Performance Measures Tracks progress in achieving the Objectives Performance-Based Planning Strategies and Policies Details an approach to meet the Performance Measures

20 DRAFT GOALS Safety Environmental and Economic Vitality Livability and Sustainability Multimodal Options/Healthy Transportation Congestion Reduction System Preservation Freight Mobility

21 SAFETY Goal 1: Provide safe travel options for all users Reduce the number and severity of crashes associated with all modes of transportation Reduce fatality and serious injury rates associated with all modes of transportation

22 Environmental and Economic Vitality Goal 2: Maintain, protect, and enhance the natural environment while strengthening the economy Minimize negative impacts of the transportation system on the natural environment Reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHGs) generated by all transportation modes Improve stormwater management and treatment in all transportation improvement projects Improve connections between housing, job, cultural centers, and essential services within and beyond the region

23 Livability and Sustainability Goal 3: Support livable communities and village centers that strengthen the long-term sustainability of the region Support development in compact village centers Improve coastal resiliency of the transportation system Develop a transportation system that is consistent with the local character of Cape Cod

24 Multimodal Options/Healthy Transportation Goal 4: Provide a variety of healthy transportation options to all users Improve accessibility of all modes to all users Expand the sidewalk and bicycle network and close gaps in these networks Improve coordination between all modes Increase the share of travel by means other than the single occupancy vehicle

25 Congestion Reduction Goal 5: Reduce congestion and improve travel time reliability Reduce delay for all modes Improve connectivity and reliability for all modes of transportation Minimize the impacts of construction delays on all users, particularly impacts of Cape Cod Canal Bridge maintenance

26 Goal 6: Preserve, maintain, and modernize the existing transportation system Improve the condition of all bridges System Preservation Improve the pavement condition on all federal-aid eligible roadways Maintain and improve on and off road bicycle and pedestrian facilities Use modern technology to improve transportation efficiency Improve coordination and cooperation between agencies throughout all phases of project development and implementation for all improvement and maintenance project

27 Freight Mobility Goal 7: Improve efficiency and reliability of freight movement Reduce delays and improve travel time reliability on the freight network Minimize Cape Cod Canal bridge maintenance impacts
