We create vibrant community centers where housing, employment, schools, places of worship, parks and services are located together, all linked by transit and other alternatives to driving alone. We place a high priority on developing well-designed, housing options that are affordable to people of all ages and income levels. We strive for balance between growth in jobs and housing. All students gain the knowledge and life skills required to succeed in the global economy and society. We overcome transportation barriers to employment and increase mobility by investing in an integrated, accessible regional transportation system.
All people are safe in their homes, workplaces, schools and neighborhoods.
Arts and cultural activities reach, link and celebrate the diverse communities of our region. All residents, business people and elected officials think regionally, share responsibility and take action on behalf of our region's future. Local communities and regional authorities coordinate transportation and land use planning for the benefit of everybody. City, county and regional plans, when viewed together, add up to a sustainable region.
