Transportation

Transportation moves people and goods from one place to another within a medium of transportation: land, sea, or air. Transportation enables the trade of goods and the movement of workers to occur. Transportation is a key component of a community’s development and quality of life.

Strategies within the Transportation element could include the development/support of transit services, airports, rail transportation, pedestrian infrastructure, bicycle infrastructure, trail development (including river trails), and other multimodal forms of transportation. Throughout the Regional Community Strategic Planning Process conducted as part of BRADD’s 2022-2027 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy, each of BRADD’s 10 counties set goals and objectives address transportation needs in their communities. Additionally, BRADD has several regional goals targeting transportation. A summary of both the regional goals and county goals and objectives can be found in the tabs to the right.
