11 Goods Movement and the Regional Transportation Strategy RTS Strategic Framework has set the following targets: Half of all trips made by walking, cycling and transit Reduce the distance people drive by one third Supports passenger and goods objectives Approach Continued, strategic investment Get better use out of what we have Partner coordinate policies and land uses Six key strategic directions identified 21 Potential Policies and Strategies Invest Manage Partner I. Make strategic investments II. More effectively manage /utilize the existing infrastructure III. Streamline regulations and policies IV. Pursue a data driven and outcomes based approach V. Regional goods movement coordination and integrated planning VI. Coordinate land use plans 22 11

12 Potential Policies and Strategies Invest I. Make strategic investments to Support goods movement efficiency and performance. Transit, bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure to reduce vehicle trips Regional Goods Movement Network System Investments Pattullo Bridge Rail Crossing Improvements Connectivity to Industrial Land 23 Manage II. More effectively manage and utilize the existing infrastructure that serves the movement of goods III. Streamline regulations and policies for goods movement across the region IV. Pursue a data driven and outcomesbased approach to goods movement planning, decision making, and evaluation 24 12

13 Partner V. Become more effective at regional goods movement coordination and integrated planning Private Sector Public Agency Goods Movement Task Force Multi Jurisdiction Public Agency Goods Movement Group VI. Coordinate land use plans with priorities for goods movement Coordinate Land Use Plans and Regional Planning Initiatives with Priorities for Goods Movement 25 Next Steps Incorporate input from stakeholders Prioritize Strategies and Define Roles Prepare draft Goods Movement Strategy for Follow up Consultation Finalize Goods Movement Strategy 26 13
