Yesterday’s transportation committee meeting for the new city/OTO strategic plan focused on writing a vision statement. I’ve done this kind of work before, and it is usually painful (partly because I’ve usually done vision writing stuff with fellow academics). But yesterday’s exercise was remarkably invigorating and productive. We enjoy a great deal of consensus on the committee despite a wide range of interests and agendas.
Here is our draft vision statement (mission statement and details to follow):
Through community and regional partnerships, create a vibrant transportation system that successfully links people, goods, and places through a safe, sustainable, efficient, effective, and accessible network that supports seamless connections for all modes of travel, thereby maintaining and enhancing economic vitality and quality of life.
So, yeah, that sounds good. Now the real work begins.
