Transit can make our communities more vibrant and successful, connecting our region and shaping communities that we are proud to call home. As we move into the 21st century, we must look to the future and invest in a transportation system that:
- Provides access to transportation. In an era of rising gas prices, more people need alternatives to driving. Transit should be affordable, convenient, and safe, ensuring that all Minnesotans can get to where they need to go.
- Helps our state prosper. Minnesota has a proud tradition of promoting economic opportunity. Our transportation system should support new jobs and new development, ensuring that more people can enjoy the benefits of living in Minnesota.
-
Protects our great outdoors.
Our lakes, rivers and streams; forests and wilderness areas; clean air and natural areas are a part of our way of life. Our transportation system should build upon this proud legacy, protecting the places our state holds most valuable.
- Looks toward the future. We have a duty to ensure that Minnesota remains a wonderful place to live. We must address our transportation challenges now, rather than passing them on to future generations.
This vision depends on the engagement and input of residents who speak up for the future of their communities. Everyone has a role in shaping Minnesota’s future. Join us in building a new future for our state!
