1 Introduction
Updating the Vision
Goals, Guiding Statements, and Objectives The following table breaks down each goal with its guiding statement and objectives. The guiding statement explains the intent and focus of each goal; the objective describes the ways in which to measure or achieve the goal.
Land Use & Transportation Integration Multimodal Options
An important step in developing the 2040 Comprehensive Transportation Plan is updating and validating the vision established in the last CTP and creating a cohesive set of guiding statements to provide direction throughout the planning process. The goals, guiding statements, and objectives established in the 2035 Community Transportation Plan served as a foundation to create a set of recommendations for the Town. Goals, guiding statements, and objectives were also used to guide the development and application of a project prioritization process. The ultimate intention is to let the direction for the plan, established early on in the process, carry through to all phases of its development and implementation. The goals, guiding statements, and objectives were presented at community outreach events for feedback and refinement. The goals, detailed on the following pages, align with larger initiatives outlined in relevant planning policies that guide transportation planning at the federal, state, and regional levels. This coordination is crucial to ensure that Fuquay- Varina’s transportation planning responds to and addresses its challenges as one part of a much larger inter-connected system. Each goal includes a key phrase referred to as a guiding statement and clarification provided through a pair of planning objectives. Collectively, these thoughts represent a set of value statements for priorities identified early in the planning process. As transportation strategies were identified and evaluated, the project team revisited the goals to determine which principles a given project or strategy addresses, and prioritized recommendations based on their performance against these goals.
Coordinate transportation investments with land use and development decisions. • Objective 1: support efficient infill and redevelopment opportunities by maximizing use of the existing transportation system • Objective 2: Prepare for continued population growth by coordinating transportation strategies with land use initiatives to foster a vibrant and livable community.
