CRSC Priorities

1. Meet growing demand for walkable, vibrant, mixed-use, centers

2. Establish high capacity transit (BRT, express bus) to enhance a multi-modal, interconnected regional transportation system

3. Ensure equitable access to opportunities for a healthy and satisfying standard of living (e.g., education, housing, recreation, healthy food)

4. Develop built environment that supports ecosystem services(such as green infrastructure)

5. Land is available and acreage maintained for food, fiber production and processing
