5. Goals and Objectives
Goals and Objectives serve as the guiding principles of the plan.
They will help determine the projects that are ultimately included in the plan.
Will be the basis for developing the project evaluation criteria

6. 2040 Needs Assessment
Begins with the forecasting of conditions using the current transportation network
Followed by development of alternatives
Road projects
Transit projects
Bike/Pedestrian projects
Operational projects

7. 2040 Needs Assessment
Ultimately the Okaloosa-Walton Transportation Planning Organization will adopt a multi-modal Needs Plan for 2040
This will likely be a mix of transit, bicycle, pedestrian and roadway projects

8. Cost Feasible Plan
How do we set priorities within funding constraints?
We will strive for a balanced plan that functions well as a mobility system.
For the 2040 Cost Feasible Plan we have $150M in Other Arterial funds and $175M in SIS funds to work with.
