DRAFT Goal: Connectivity
Develop connections among all types of transportation.
Our high quality of life depends on how well the different modes of transportation are integrated and connected. A seamless transportation network should effectively carry people and goods to where they need and want to go.
Strategies
1. Provide efficient connections within and between modes and facilities.
Reliable, convenient, and well-connected transportation modes are essential to providing efficient movement of goods and effective services for all Central Oklahomans.
2. Improve integration of transportation and land use.
Coordination of transportation and land use planning will reduce automobile trips, decrease travel time, enhance mobility, and preserve agricultural and recreational lands.
3. Invest in projects that complement the existing transportation infrastructure.
We want to build on our existing transportation network by selecting those projects that provide the greatest benefit to the region, such as park-and-ride lots, sidewalks, and bike racks.
Challenges to consider:
-
How do we mitigate transportation impacts of sprawl?
-
How do we improve coordination among transportation providers?
-
How do we encourage local entities pass a bike ordinance enforceable by law enforcement officers?
