Objective 3: Ensure that 100% of new development within the municipal boundaries or land annexed into a municipality will provide sidewalks along its roadway frontage through construction or a reservation of land and funds for construction unless an acceptable alternative pathway is provided. Sidewalk connectivity must be analyzed with each new development proposal
GOAL 2: Compact development and mixed-use forms should be principal considerations for new development and redevelopment in the urbanized area to create a more walkable, sustainable, and efficient development pattern
Objective 1: Increase gross densities in urban residential areas by 2025
Objective 2: Increase the number of mixed use projects in the urbanized area by 2014
GOAL 3: Transportation modes and facilities in the urbanized area will be safe for all users
Objective 1: Reduce the total number of crashes in Champaign-Urbana by 5% by 2014
Objective 2:Reduce the total number of fatalities and severe injuries in Champaign-Urbana by 25% between 2009 and 2014
Objective 3: Reduce the total number of crashes involving bicyclists and pedestrians in Champaign-Urbana by 15% by 2014
GOAL 4: The urbanized area transportation system will be secure from human and natural hazards
Objective 1: Implement at least two projects listed in the ITS Architecture Plan which benefit the security of the people, buildings, and infrastructure in the urbanized area by 2014
Objective 2: Create a plan detailing evacuation and emergency routes in the event of a man-made or natural disaster by 2014
Objective 3: Create a plan for the urbanized area that details transport routes for hazardous material by 2019
GOAL 5: All transportation system users will have convenient, multi-modal access to all parts of the urbanized area and will travel with increased mobility during peak traffic hours
Objective 1:Improve average vehicular travel time by 1.5 minutes during peak hour periods on major traffic corridors by 2035
Objective 2: Persons with disabilities will have improved access to all areas of the urbanized area by 2025
Objective 3: Improve truck freight movements in the urbanized area and reduce their effect on mobility and accessibility for other transportation modes by developing and implementing a truck route plan by 2035
Objective 4: Improve the mobility of all transportation system users by applying the CUUATS Access Management Guidelines to selected major corridors by 2014
GOAL 6: To provide facilities for non-auto modes of transportation in order to improve mobility and decrease the number of vehicles on our roadways
Objective 1: Construct a comparable amount of facilities for active modes of transportation during new roadway construction, major reconstruction or lane reconfigurations by 2014
Objective 2: Increase local transit ridership by 5% by 2014
Objective 3: Increase the number of emplanements at Willard Airport by 10% by 2014
Objective 4: Increase the number of Amtrak boardings at Illinois Terminal by 15% by 2014
GOAL 7: Utilize a sustainable approach to transportation planning and engineering which promotes environmental stewardship and energy conservation
Objective 1: Continue to maintain attainment status for air quality through the year 2035 and remain under State ozone standards through 2014
Objective 2: Increase the support level for 2 of the 7 non-life supporting segments for monitored rivers and streams in the metropolitan planning area
Objective 3: Preserve existing natural areas, forested areas, parks, and prime agricultural land in the metropolitan planning area
GOAL 8: Provide a user-friendly, integrated regional transportation system that supports accessibility and promotes desirable social impacts
Objective 1: Consider issues of social justice in all transportation planning and service provisions
Objective 2: Require transit, bicycle, and pedestrian accessible site design, particularly in large-scale developments
Objective 3: Consider and mitigate environmental impacts in roadway widening, reconstruction, and new construction projects
GOAL 9: All transportation system users in the urbanized area will have access to a network of transportation modes and infrastructure that maximizes connectivity between origins and destinations and promotes the use of both motorized and non-motorized modes to travel between them
Objective 1: Increase the miles of dedicated bicycle facilties and signed bike routes in the metropolitan planning area by 15% by 2014
Objective 2: Travel delay will not exceed 5.5 hours per person per year on urbanized area roadways due to the completion of an enhanced arterial fringe road system around the urbanized area
Objective 3: Ensure that 100% of new development within the municipal boundaries or land annexed into a municipality will provide sidewalks along its roadway frontage through construction or a reservation of land and funds for construction unless an acceptable alternative pathway is provided. Sidewalk connectivity must be analyzed with each new development proposal
Objective 4: Provide transit service within a 1/4 mile for 90% of residential development (new or existing) within the CU-MTD transit service area by 2014
GOAL 10: To the greatest extent possible, the existing capacity of the urbanized area transportation system will be maximized through innovative transportation system management approaches
Objective 1: Maintain 2005 number of vehicle miles traveled through 2010
Objective 2: Decrease Volume-to-Capacity (V/C) ratio to be representative of level of service "D" or better by 2035
Objective 3: Increase the percentage of persons age of 16 and older using transit in their journey to work from 6.5% to 9% of the urbanized area by 2014
