See Event Postcard Two Plans, One Vision
Your opinions count twice as much because they are used to help create the vision of two plans. One plan creates an over-all strategic vision for our region, the other focuses specifically on transportation investments. Regional Plan for Sustainable Development (RPSD
In 2010, H-GAC, along with 24 consortium partners, was awarded a $3.75 million grant to develop a regional plan for sustainability. This plan focuses on housing, transportation and infrastructure, the environment, the economy, and healthy communities. The plan crosses jurisdictional and geographical boundaries and offers choices to coastal, rural, suburban, and urban communities because one strategy is not necessarily appropriate for all areas in our region. Social equity is the common thread that ties all of the pieces of the plan together.
Based on your input, the plan lays out a vision for the region’s future. The plan provides counties, cities, public service providers, and others voluntary strategies to fulfill the public’s vision.
Regional Transportation Plan (RTP)
Every four years, H-GAC reviews and updates our region’s transportation plan. This plan identifies the transportation investments that will be made in the next few years, as well as the transportation strategies that are being pursued in the long-term to manage and add to our region’s transportation system. These strategies make certain that our region’s air quality steadily improves, and that the financial resources are available to pay for the investments.
Your opinions help determine the transportation plan by influencing the criteria used in selecting transportation projects. For more information, visit www.ourregion.org. |
