During the meeting, members reviewed the growth and congestion practices by nine cities,
including Phoenix, Denver, Seattle and San Jose.
Based upon the other cities' approach, the
group identified six goals:
· Clear transportation and congestion targets
to drive public discussion and planning process.
· Regional planning that combines the best of
top-down and bottom-up approaches.
· Adequate and flexible funding for
transportation infrastructure.
· Align authority and accountability for
regional planning and implementation.
· A highly informed community that
understands issues and is motivated to take individual steps
for the common good.
· A business community that takes initiative as
a role model and shaper of policy.
