It contains a fiscally constrained financial plan that compares available revenues with the region's vision for investing in transportation infrastructure, allocates revenue to projects based on policy and need, and considers different funding options that could help to more fully realize the vision. Last, the Plan presents actions we can all take to achieve the vision.
