Provide greater equity in accessibility and affordability to mobility that improves access to opportunities and daily necessities, with particular attention to more vulnerable groups of the population who need it most, marginalized/at-risk high-needs communities and priority populations; and areas/populations with documented historic inequities in access and affordability, i.e., the disability community and universal access.

Result in greener transportation options that reduce overall negative environmental impacts (reduce, reuse, and recycle -- including life cycle considerations and future needs; GHG reduction and air quality improvements), i.e., low and zero-emission, energy efficient, affordable modes of transport and supporting infrastructure – including electric and alternative – fuel vehicles; more robust supply chains and freight movement; greater domestic self-sufficiency; and supportive land use,  housing policies and choices are an example of important interdependencies.

Actionable, innovative “people-readiness” and “workforce development” strategies, programs and plans specifically focused on addressing current workforce shortages in “essential” high needs positions and projected career growth areas -- with emphasis on attracting, recruiting, hiring, and retaining a diverse, quality workforce.

Innovative use of data and identification of important data “gaps”, improving ready access to useful information that enhances data analytics and critical thinking, use of new technologies that improve the transport/mobility network for all users; projects that advance proficiency in digitalization, computing, and cybersecurity hygiene practices – major 21^stcentury workplace and workforce game changers – that are also critical to eliminating the “digital divide”.

Collaborative, cross-sectoral, interdisciplinary approaches, and recommendations that reduce disparities, promote fairness, and foster expanded opportunities for all people and communities (improve safety, enhance efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of overall public service delivery).

Provide greater transparency, ready and affordable access to public information re:  transport/sustainable mobility career, educational, and training opportunities – “jobs” and “business” opportunities – with the overarching objective to advance “diversity, equity, and inclusion” and expand career opportunities.

Meaningfully engage and expand citizen/community participation – including meaningful “youth voice” -- in all phases of project planning, design, implementation, and evaluation that is focused on reducing/eliminating disparities.
