Reasons for updating the 2002 Strategic Operating Plan

The need to implement the remaining phases of the Strategic Operating Plan continues to remain a high priority in order to continue progress toward a more productive and efficient transit system as well as to support existing and planned land use and the City’s overall transportation system. This need arises from the land uses and transportation infrastructure that is currently being approved and constructed based upon the adopted policies and goals within the City Plan, Structure Plan, Transportation Master Plan, and the Master Street Plan. Each of these key planning documents is predicated upon the notion of having a functioning grid transit network to absorb the increased travel demands of our community.
