1 Strengthen the bond between land use and transportation Investments in the 2020
RCPU can help achieve
the TMP’s seven
2 Elevate the role of integrated public transit including rapid transit directions
3 Make walking and cycling more practical and attractive
4 Optimize road infrastructure and operations
5 Promote sustainable travel choices
