St. Anthony 2040 Comprehensive Plan Chapter 6: Transportation <br /> <br />67 <br /> <br />SUMMARY OF REGIONAL STRATEGIES <br />This Plan has been prepared to be consistent with the regional transportation <br />strategies outlined in the Metropolitan Council 2040 Transportation Policy Plan <br />(TPP). Similar to this Plan, the TPP evaluates the existing transportation system, <br />identifies transportation challenges to the region, and sets regional goals, <br />objectives, and priorities to meet the transportation needs of current residents <br />while accommodating the region’s anticipated growth. The TPP also guides local <br />agencies in coordinating land use and transportation and establishes regional <br />performance measures and targets. <br /> <br /> <br />The TPP is guided by the following goals: <br />• Transportation system stewardship: Sustainable investments in the <br />transportation system are protected by strategically preserving, <br />maintaining, and operating system assets. <br />• Safety and Security: The regional transportation system is safe and <br />secure for all users. <br />• Access to Destinations: People and businesses prosper by using a <br />reliable, affordable, and efficient multimodal transportation system that <br />connects them to destinations throughout the region and beyond. <br />• Competitive Economy: The regional transportation system supports the <br />economic competitiveness, vitality, and prosperity of the region and State. <br />• Healthy Environment: The regional transportation system advances <br />equity and contributes to communities’ livability and sustainability while <br />protecting the natural, cultural, and developed environments. <br />• Leveraging Transportation Investment to Guide Land Use: The <br />region leverages transportation investments to guide land use and <br />development patterns that advance the regional vision of stewardship, <br />prosperity, livability, equity, and sustainability.
