Objective T-3.2: Create and implement an Orange County Comprehensive Transportation Plan that provides the framework for a comprehensive and connected transportation system supporting a mix of all transportation modes, including sidewalks and bicycle facilities, bus and rail transit facilities, and highways. The plan should be coordinated with the goals and objectives of this Comprehensive Plan and seek to maintain and enhance community character and the natural environment. Objective T-3.3: Determine the policies to guide connectivity within and between residential developments based on their impact on neighborhood character. Objective T-3.4: Direct development to higher density mixed-use districts along transit corridors and make necessary multi-modal transportation improvements to service lands that are slated for future intense development, such as Economic Development Districts. Objective T-3.5: Use innovative techniques to increase mobility and reduce rush hour congestion. Transportation Goal 4: A countywide and regionally-integrated, multi-modal transportation planning process that is comprehensive, creative and effective. Objective T-4.1: Work with nearby jurisdictions to integrate the County's transportation plans with those of other transportation planning agencies and service providers in Orange County and the Triangle region.
