26 MTP 2045 Goals and Objectives and Transportation Planning Factors A Metropolitan Transportation Plan is required to address the transportation planning factors established by the Federal transportation legislation.The FAST Act,signed into law in 2015,included the addition of two planning factors(focused on resiliency and reliability and tourism),for a total of ten transportation planning factors.Eight of those factors were initially defined in the Safe,Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act:A Legacy for Users(SAFETEA-LU),enacted in 2005,and carried forward by MAP-21 in 2012.' The projects and strategies recommended in the MTP must support these planning factors.The federal planning factors are as follows: • Support the economic vitality of the metropolitan area • Increase the safety of the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users • Increase the security of the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users • Increase the accessibility and mobility of people and for freight • Protect and enhance the environment,promote energy conservation,and improve the quality of life • Enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system,across and between modes,for people and freight • Promote efficient system management and operations • Emphasize the preservation of the existing transportation system • Improve the resiliency and reliability of the transportation system and reduce or mitigate stormwater impacts of surface transportation • Enhance travel and tourism As can be seen in the table below,the MTP goals align with the federal planning factors to ensure that the federal guidelines are addressed throughout the MTP 2045 plan development.
