15. Importance / Grade Matrix

16. M = MOBILITY A high degree of mobility is enjoyed Pennsylvania; this should not be diminished. O = OPTIONS Transportation is too “unimodal” with a focus on the car. Options should be provided, promoted and linked seamlessly. V = VOICES Public involvement, the voices of constituencies, must be a major focus of transportation planning. E = EFFICIENCY Transportation systems must generate the most benefits per resources expended. E = ENVIRONMENT Transportation should have minimal negative effect on the environment - it should be sustainable. E = EQUITY Transportation should not give disproportionate advantages or disadvantages to any group. E = ECONOMY Transportation must maintain and promote economic development. S = SAFETY Transportation systems should be designed to maximize safety.

17. Statewide Goals  Promote safety of the transportation system.  Improve the environment.  Retain jobs and expand economic opportunities.  Make transportation decisions that support land use planning objectives.  Maintain, upgrade, and improve the transportation system.  Inform and involve the public and improve customer service.  Advance regional and corridor-based planning.  Develop transportation alternatives and manage demand.  Promote smooth, easy connections between transportation alternatives.  Ensure accessibility of the system and mobility for everyone.
