Connections 2050 sets a goal to increase the region’s mobility and reliability, while reducing congestion and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) by developing a safe, integrated, and accessible multimodal transportation network. Decreasing VMT can reduce a number of negative environmental impacts from transportation—air and noise pollution, greenhouse gas emissions—and lessen the demand to widen roads—which can increase stormwater runoff, fragment green space and wildlife habitat, and reinforce auto dependence.
