Goal 2: Advance regional sustainability by providing a transportation system that <br />improves economic vitality, environmental health, social equity, and overall well- <br />being. <br />Goal 3: Strengthen community resilience to changes in climate, increases in fossil <br />fuel prices, and economic fluctuations by making the transportation networks diverse, <br />adaptable, and not reliant on any single mode. <br />Goal 4: Address the transportation needs and safety of all travelers, including people <br />of all ages, abilities, races, ethnicities, and incomes. Through transportation <br />investments, respond to the needs of system users, be context sensitive, and distribute <br />the benefits and impacts of transportation decisions fairly throughout the City. <br />Goal 5: By the year 2035 triple the percentage of trips made on foot, by bicycle, and <br />by transit from 2014 levels. <br />System -Wide Policies <br />2. Consider safety first when making transportation decisions. Strive for zero <br />transportation -related fatalities and severe injuries by reducing the number and severity <br />of crashes through design, operations, maintenance, education, and enforcement. In <br />furtherance of the City Council's adopted Vision Zero goal (Resolution No. 5143), <br />prioritize safety improvements for people who walk, bike and use mobility devices <br />because no loss of life or serious injury on our streets is acceptable. <br />3. Improve community health by designing streets and paths to encourage increased <br />physical activity by the public. <br />Potential Actions for System -Wide Policies <br />C. Create a strategy to facilitate 90 percent of Eugene residences to be within "20 - <br />minute neighborhoods." The strategy might include methods to improve proximity of <br />residences to services and prioritizing projects that improve convenience and safety for <br />walking, biking, and connections to transit stops. <br />Pedestrian Policies <br />1. Encourage walking as the most attractive mode of transportation for short trips (e.g., <br />within one half miles) within and to activity centers, downtown, key corridors, and <br />major destinations, and as a means of accessing transit. <br />Potential Actions for Pedestrian Policies <br />Administrative Order -- Page 3 of 5 <br />
