Maintenance/preservation projects across all transportation modes Reduce congestion by highway capacity expansion Improving ports in support of Louisiana industry Reduce congestion by improving operations with low cost projects Reduce congestion by increasing transit and non- motorized services Safety-related investments across all transportation modes Increased modal choices for passengers Improving airports to better accommodate tourism, business travel, personal travel, and air cargo Improving freight railroads to enhance service and reliability in support of Louisiana industry

A state with small and medium-sized cities with open space between them A state with large cities like Atlanta or Dallas with suburban-type development A state with large cities like Atlanta or Dallas with higher density development Does not matter 13
– Most likely scenario is status quo of continued suburban development BUT preferred scenario is Town Centers with growth in small to mid- size cities and towns with quality green space in-between except for New Orleans that has growth concentrated in the urban area
– Preferred scenario is continuation of focus on extractive and resource industries (a current focus in the state), but with more emphasis on arts/retirement/tourism as well as research/technology developments
– The preferred scenarios require changes in public policy and state/federal/local cooperation
– Streamline existing 7 goals and 49 objectives
23
– Infrastructure Preservation and Maintenance – Safety – Economic Competitiveness – Community Development and Enhancement – Environmental Stewardship
– Mostly small and medium-sized communities with quality open space in-between – But also higher-growth, dense, compact urban areas such as New Orleans – Support extractive and resource industries, a major economic driver in the state – Consider and support the potential for increased economic activity associated with arts, entertainment, retirement and tourism as well as a research & technology
