The Strategic Transportation Plan sets out the actions TransLink will take to respond to transportation needs in the region and support the liveable Region Strategic Plan for the next three to five years. It is an interim plan. Its strategies are those of the liveable Region Strategic Plan and Transport 2021, pending a co-ordinated review of long range strategies by TransLink and the Greater Vancouver Regional District in 2001. The Plan is substantive, proposing significantly increased expenditures for transit and selective development of roads in the region. Equally important, the Plan establishes a management program which will address transportation demand management, support alternatives to single occupant auto travel, establish road use priorities, apply technology to transportation, and emphasise goods movement, cycling, walking, safety and security, and marketing. The Plan calls for measuring achievement through an annual report to the TransLink Board and the public that will measure TransLink's achievement. (Author/publisher)
