4 Minnesota GO Better align the transportation system with what Minnesotans expect for their quality of life, economy and natural environment. Develop a vision i for all forms of transportation. t ti Ownership of the vision is a shared responsibility.

5 What is a Vision? A description of a desired future Answers the question what are we trying to achieve? Does NOT answer the question how will we do it?

13 A Transportation Vision for Generations

14 A Transportation Vision for Generations Minnesota s multimodal transportation system maximizes the health of people, the environment and our economy.

15 A Transportation Vision for Generations The system: Connects Minnesota s primary assets the people, natural resources and businesses within the state to to each other and to markets and resources outside the state and country

16 A Transportation Vision for Generations The system: Provides safe, convenient and effective movement of goods and people

17 A Transportation Vision for Generations The system: Is flexible e and nimble enough to adapt to changes in society, technology, the environment and the economy

18 A Transportation Vision for Generations Quality of Life Recognizes and respects the importance and significance of place not just as destinations, but also where people live, work, learn, play and access services Is accessible regardless of socio-economic status Is accessible regardless of socio economic status or physical ability

19 A Transportation Vision for Generations Environmental Health Is designed in such a way that it enhances the community around it and minimizes the impact to the environment

20 A Transportation Vision for Generations Economic Competitiveness Enhances and supports Minnesota s role in a globally competitive economy and the international significance and connections of Minnesota s trade centers Attracts human and financial capital to the state

21 What This Means Waterways, rail, transitways, roads, airports and pipelines strategically t located to enable critical connections for Minnesota s businesses and communities. An integrated network of streets, roads and highways collectively support freight, mass transit, personal vehicles and non-motorized transportation.

22 What This Means Reliable and affordable transit options for people who cannot or choose not to operate a personal vehicle. Connected options to walk and bike for everyone choosing active forms of transportation. Zero deaths or serious s injuries occur in any form of transportation.

23 What This Means An environment that allows safe travel for both an 8 year old and an 80 year old in every neighborhood and community. Technology and innovation improve the safety and productivity of each mode of transportation and may be implemented as an alternative to expanding the physical layout of the system.

24 What This Means The existing system will change over time to meet future needs and some parts of the current system may no longer be needed in the future.

25 Guiding Principles Leverage public investments to achieve multiple purposesp Ensure accessibility Build to a maintainable scale Ensure regional connections Integrate safety Emphasize reliable and predictable options Strategically fix the system Use partnerships

27 The Vision i Will Lead Directly Into the next 20-year Statewide Multimodal Transportation Plan Vision Statewide Multimodal Transportation Plan Modal System & Investment Plans

28 Statewide Multi-Modal Policy Plan Update 2008 Transportation Plan 20 year outlook, updated every 4 years Incorporate 50 year Vision Build on recent plans Passenger/Freight Rail Plan (2010) Greater MN Transit Investment Plan (2010) Aviation Plan (underway) Strategic Highway Safety Plan Set policies, strategies, performance measures for all modes 23

50 Step 5: Identify Priorities for Additional Funding- Risk Mitigation Investment Strategy Mn/DOT recognizes we cannot meet performance gaps ($50B) with any foreseeable revenue scenario Using risk assessment to evaluate alternative performance targets, strategies New Metro District & Metro Council Plan - already represents a risk mitigation strategy - $4-6 B to fully implement Determining priorities, levels and sources of additional funding will require further discussion by public, stakeholders, elected officials 45
