W <br />J <br />a <br />cc <br />J <br />Z <br />D <br />Q <br />V <br />Land Use Policies <br />Access, mobility, and Transportation Choice <br />Sustain and improve a multi modal transportation system to support regional growth, maintain regional economic <br />competitiveness, and provide choices and reliability for the system's users. <br />• Invest in strategic transit and transportation <br />improvements that support more reliable <br />access to and from Emerging Suburban <br />Edge communities. <br />• Plan park-and-ride capacity in parts of the <br />region where there is significant demand for <br />access to regional destinations, but where it <br />is currently not cost-effective to provide local <br />bus connections. <br />• Plan transit facilities to better incorporate <br />alternative mode connections, such as trails <br />and sidewalks, for facilities serving locations <br />where commuters have to travel greater <br />distances to complete their trip. <br />• Encourage communities to develop at <br />densities and in ways that could eventually <br />support local transit service, including <br />walking and bicycling connections to transit. <br />• Invest in the development and improvement <br />of regional trails and regional bicycle <br />corridors to better connect communities <br />and provide viable transportation options for <br />commuting via alternative modes. <br />• Work with state agencies, counties, and <br />local governments to provide assistance in <br />planning for freight transportation to connect <br />the rural and urban areas' markets and <br />resources. <br />ALL COMMUNITIES <br />• Oversee the planning of a multimodal, interconnected <br />regional transportation system in cooperation with state <br />agencies, counties, local governments, and suburban <br />transit providers. <br />• Invest in and operate transit services commensurate with <br />efficient and effective standards established by Transit <br />Market Areas defined in the 2040 Transportation Policy <br />Plan. Coordinate other regional transit services to ensure a <br />consistent and convenient user experience. <br />• Support investments to safely operate, preserve and <br />improve the regional highway system, which includes <br />principal and A -minor arterials, by providing transit <br />advantages, MnPASS lanes, and implementing cost- <br />effective, management, spot mobility, and strategic <br />capacity improvements. <br />• Support the management of access points to state and <br />county road systems and emphasize construction of an <br />interconnected local public street system. <br />• Support the development of regional bicycle corridors as <br />defined in the 2040 Transportation Policy Plan to provide <br />viable transportation options. <br />• Invest in the development and improvement of regional <br />trails as defined in the 2040 Regional Parks Policy Plan <br />to better connect communities with regional parks and to <br />provide recreational opportunities. Encourage communities <br />to plan and develop local trail connections to the Regional <br />Parks System where appropriate. <br />• Work with local, regional, and state partners to coordinate <br />transportation, pedestrian, bicycle, and trail connections <br />across jurisdictional boundaries. <br />• Use Council investments and policies to reduce vehicle <br />miles traveled (VMT) and carbon per unit of fuel, which are <br />key drivers of the region's generation of greenhouse gas <br />emissions. <br />• Ensure that transportation elements of local <br />comprehensive plans provide for pedestrian and bicycle <br />access to regional transit services, regional trails, and <br />regional bicycle corridors. <br />• Invest in transportation improvements that support the <br />export and mobility of freight by truck, rail, air, and barge. <br />• Coordinate with the Metropolitan Airports Commission, <br />the Federal Aviation Administration, Minnesota Department <br />of Transportation Office of Aeronautics, and local <br />communities to ensure that land uses and air space <br />adjacent to the system of regional airports is protected <br />from incompatible uses. <br />45 <br />0 <br />
