Is a State Mobility (Transit) Plan In Your Future?

This document is from the EPA, HUD, CalTrans, etc. It spells out the mobility plan for California’s future. Cars are not in the plan, which calls for Regional and Interregional planning. Calif. is the test bed for exporting this to other states. If you think this is NOT in your state already, think again.

Check it out in New Jersey -- see below from the NJDOT web site. What other states are in the bag for this? Note CHRISTIE and GUADAGNO are all for this strategy.

No Smart Growth plan is worth the name without "Complete Streets" - NJ is no exception.

 

Now for the coup de gras -- Transit! That is the goal. Transit villages, stack and pack housing.
