- TMP include to:
• Address improvements for motor vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, and public transportation, including commuter rail;
• Develop short and long-range goals to improve mobility, and recommend strategies for achieving these goals;
• Explore ways to meet projected transportation needs while at the same time balancing those needs with the community concerns for economic development, protection of the environment, and beautification of the city;
• Remain consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan visions, goals, and objectives;
• Plan and design complete streets in, around, and to new developments, redevelopments, subdivisions, the university, downtown, and other high-density residential areas;
• Coordinate with local and regional agencies to meet the goals of this plan;
• Use transportation modeling and analysis to inform decision-making and garner community support;
• Include strategies and recommendations that focus on realistic methods for achieving a safe, efficient, and effective multi-modal transportation system.
• Continue to plan for and invest in bicycle infrastructure including protected bike lanes, off-street paths, and end of-trip facilities;
• Improve transit stops and related amenities including shade, shelter, signage, wayfinding, seating, route and schedule information, and safety improvements;
• Ensure a well-integrated, connection transportation network that includes a hierarchy of roadways appropriate for adjacent land uses and development types;
• Incorporate local arts and culture into transportation infrastructure such as transit centers and stops;
• Incorporate vision zero goals and objectives into transportation plans, programs, and projects;
• Establish/update green infrastructure policies, standards, and guidelines for roadways;
• Evaluate and update parking policies, code requirements, and/or management plans, develop and implement a parking fee structure for high-demand areas;
• Ensure safe crossing options under i-35 corridor and other major arterials/high-traffic roadways to connect neighborhoods and residents; and
• Update the transportation design manual.  - Development and evaluation of multi-modal transportation system alternatives:
- The successful respondent will develop, evaluate, and make recommendations for multi-modal alternatives to the existing transportation system.
• Intelligent transportation system (ITS) including IT fiber and UG technologies, including a development plan and associated criteria;
• Vision zero plan including goals and performance matrices;
• Identification of high-injury crash networks, including intersection; develop crash reduction criteria including specific goals, performance matrices; and timelines;
• Context-sensitive design and complete streets; develop specific goals and performance matrices;
