Document Description
The proposed RTP/SCS EIR/EIS will assess: (1) anticipated changes in transportation demand over the next 25 years; (2) the region's goals and policies for transportation; (3) the region's Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS), which will lay out a plan for integrating transportation investments with land use plans in a way that allows the region to meet California targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions; (4) planned investments in the transportation system (i.e. roadway, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian networks, the goods movement system, aviation and airport access, and disaster preparedness plans), including a programmatic assessment of the first phase of high priority transportation system projects that would be included in the RTP/SCS; (5) Transportation Demand Management (TDM) and Transportation System Management (TSM) strategies proposed to maximize efficiency; (6) increasing the safety of the transportation system; (7) increasing the ability of the transportation system to safeguard the personal security of residents and visitors, particularly in the case of an emergency evacuation; and (8) how the RTP/SCS responds to the needs of more vulnerable populations.
