31 Actual Estimated and Forecasted

 Transit ridership goes up with frequency of service  No longer an 8-5 economy – but current services shut down at 6:30pm  Community design is also key: compact, mixed- use areas well connected with sidewalks and bike lanes  Need for better information services 32

 Road deficit higher than 2006 Plan  Need to remove some corridors from “funded” list  New design typologies under consideration  Design - complete streets concept  Adequate public facilities  Corridor preservation 35

 Federal rules - more consideration of making efficient use of existing system  Preservation of current system is higher priority  Safety and security of system is also critical 36

 Conformity Finding – Transportation based emissions cannot exceed “budget”  New rules allow testing of only projects in the funded list  Challenge of meeting the new ozone standards – may see area in non-attainment by 2011  Expanding growth numbers could be an issue 45
