Provide greater universal access and affordability to mobility that improves access to opportunities and daily necessities, with particular attention to more vulnerable populations -- persistent areas of poverty and historically disadvantaged communities – with documented inequities in access and affordability.

Transportation related actions that expand economic opportunity, improve community sustainability, reduce negative environmental impacts (including life cycle considerations and future needs; GHG reduction and air quality improvements), i.e., pedestrian, biking, low and zero-emission, energy efficient, affordable modes of transportation and supporting infrastructure – including ZEVs, more robust supply chains and freight movement; greater domestic self-sufficiency, supportive land use policies, public health benefits, housing policies and development choices that promote healthier  lifestyles and living are examples 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 transportation sector and related positions and projected career growth areas -- with emphasis on attracting, recruiting, hiring, and retaining a diverse, quality workforce.

Innovative uses 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, inter-disciplinary approaches and recommendations that address and advance solutions to identified mobility needs, i.e., improve safety, universal access, support local economic development plans, enhance efficiency.

Greater public participation and transparency, ready and affordable access to public information re: transportation and related services, systems, plans, business, and decision-making processes – with the overarching objective to advance expanded opportunity and shared prosperity for all residents and communities.

Meaningfully engage youth, enhance and expand overall community participation opportunities -- in transportation/mobility project planning, design, building, operation and evaluation – including consideration of potential good jobs creation/retention and business opportunities.
