funding. Tne opportunities are guided by the strategies in the TPP and the various elements of the Transit Investment Plan. The TPP includes an updated transitway system plan that more cleady articulates which projects can be funded within reasonable revenue expectailons through year 2040 (Current Revenue Scenario as shown in TPP Figure 6-8, which is also attached). The plan includes five new or expanded METRO lines, three new arterial bus rapid transit lines, and three corridors under study for mode and alignment but identified in the Counties Transit improvement Board's (CTIB) Phase I Program of Prpts. This system was developed in collaboration with CTIB, a major partner in regional transbmy expansion. The TPP does not include operating funding for transit service expansion beyond the existing network of regular route bus, general public dial -a -ride, and Metro Vanpool. The Increased Revenue Soenado (shown TPP Figure B-g, which is also attached) illustrates the level of expansion for the bus and support system and transitway system that might be reasonable if additional revenues were made available to accelerate construction of the transitway vision for the region. The plan includes updated requirements and considerations for land use planning around the region's transit system. This includes new residential density standards for areas rear major regional transit investments and an increased emphasis on proactive land use planning in coordination with the planning of the transit system. Aviation System - Chapter 9 The Metropolitan Aviation System is comprised of nine airports (shown in Figure 1-9 of the TPP and also attached to this system statement) and off -airport navigational aids. There are no new airports or navigational aids that have been added to the system in the 2040 TPP. The TPP discusses the regional airport classification system as well as providing an overview of roles and responsibilities in aviation for our regional and national partners. The investment plan in includes an overview of funding sources for projects, and an overview of projects proposed for the local airports that will maintain and enhance the regional airport system. Modifications were made to Appendix 1- Regional Airspace, Appendix J - Metropolitan Airports Commission Capital investment Review Process, Appendix K - Airport Long Term Comprehensive Plans and Appendix L - Aviation Land Use Compef lbillty. Other Plan Changes Regional Bicycle Traneportation Network - Chapter 7 The 2040 TPP encourages the use of bicycles as a mode of transportation. To that end, the TPP establishes for the first time a Regional Bicycle Transportation Network (RBTN). The goal of the RBTN is to establish an integrated seamless network of on -street bikeways and oft -road trails that complement each other to most effectively improve conditions for bicycle transportation at the regional level. Cities, counties, and parks agencies are encouraged to plan for and implement future bikeways within and along these designated corridors and alignments to support the RBTN vision.
