Transportation Sustainability Trends

Tracking trends in transportation allows for a better understanding of where we are succeeding in advancing our transportation sustainability goals and where we are falling short. The following transportation goals related to the environment, economy and healthy communities have been developed for the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Plan and are the basis for the data that is being compiled.

GOAL 1. Improve people’s access to jobs, schools, health care and other regular needs in ways that improve health, reduce pollution and retain money in the local economy.

GOAL 2. Reduce transportation related fatalities and injuries for all transportation modes.

GOAL 3. Deliver access and safety improvements cost effectively, within available revenues, equitably and responsive to the needs of all users of the transportation system, and beneficially for the natural environment.
