When <br />policies support varying positions, decision makers will seek a balance of all applicable policies. <br />Goals are timeless, but some policies will expire as they are implemented. <br />Goals <br />1. Provide an integrated transportation and land use system that supports choices in modes <br />of travel and development patterns that will reduce reliance on the automobile and <br />enhance livability, economic opportunity, and the quality of life. <br />2.
