By 2005, the Upstate has a regional transportation public relations and marketing plan underway. By 2025, the public is educated on the advantages of a multi-modal transportation system and uses alternate modes of transportation.
A well-planned transportation system allows motorists within the Upstate to access jobs, shopping, entertainment events, and allows businesses access to the employees, goods, and services they need to flourish.
A multi-modal transportation system provides an efficient, effective, safe, and interrelated transportation system that includes roads, mass transit, aviation, rail, bicycle and pedestrian ways needed for mobility in the rapidly growing Upstate South Carolina. This multi-modal transportation system will serve as a catalyst to economic growth and prosperity. |
| Vision Goals |
 |
A regional multi-modal system connects cities, airports, rails, public transit and loops to businesses, shopping centers, universities and other areas of interest. |
|
An Upstate Regional Transportation Authority serves as the governing board presiding over the planning, implementation and operation of a multimodal transportation system for the region. The Authority will have jurisdiction over all modes of transportation that are not already governed by federal or state statutes. |
|
All airports in the Upstate are working together to serve the region's transportation needs. An air service plan is present and publicized throughout the Upstate. |
|
In 2025, Greenville county will be a place where parks, greenways, open spaces and other destination points of interest such as residential communities, business and retail centers, hospitals, downtown areas, and multi-modal centers are connected via a system of bikeways and, walkways, thereby enhancing the quality of life for all residents of the County while at the same time providing an alternate means of transportation movement within the County. |
|
Bicycling is thoroughly integrated into the planning, design and construction of all new transportation facilities. |
|
Existing facilities are retrofitted to better accommodate the needs of bicycle transportation. |
|
Sidewalks, crosswalks, pedestrian signals and other facilities make it easier, safer and more enjoyable for people to walk. |
