An official website of the POLICY 22: Multimodal connections
This policy states:
Provide high-quality connections within and between modes of transportation.
Actions
- Investment Priority (IP): Actions tagged with (IP) provide direction to regional investment processes directed by the plan. This includes the Regional Solicitation, which will complete an evaluation to determine the appropriate framework and application of these actions to the Regional Solicitation. Actions could be applied in the Regional Solicitation in a variety of ways including qualifying requirements, application categories, or scoring measures. These actions can also apply to other regional highway and transit funding programs. Investment priorities targeted exclusively at local governments are tagged as local planning (see below).
- Local Planning (LP): Actions tagged with (LP) are requirements or guidance for agencies to incorporate into the transportation element of their Comprehensive Plans, corridor plans, transit provider plans, and other plans that are not regional or statewide. Major items are noted but this is not intended to be a comprehensive list. Local planning tag may also indicate actions with potential local investment priorities that would help support regional goals and objectives that are not tied to regional or statewide investment programs.
- Technical Capacity Building (CB): Actions tagged with (CB) are technical assistance and support activities to provide guidance and best practices to agencies that builds regional technical capacity.
- Partner (P): Actions tagged with (P) are activities that support the regional goals and transportation objectives where the plan is directing partners to take a direct lead. This tag applies primarily to regional or state partners; the local planning tag provides direction to local partners.
- Work Program (WP): Actions tagged with (WP) are work program activities, including staff time and consultant studies, to be worked on until the next scheduled update of the plan in five years. These items are necessary to further research and policy guidance to support the region in achieving its goals and transportation objectives. Work program items are listed at the end of each policy. More complete descriptions of work program items are provided in the Imagine 2050 TPP Work Program.
