Data & Statistics
Tracking trends in transportation allows for a better understanding of where we are succeeding in advancing our transportation sustainability goals and where we are falling short. The following transportation goals related to the environment, economy and healthy communities have been developed for the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Plan and are the basis for the data that is being compiled.
GOAL 1. Reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in order to establish livable communities that improve people’s access to their regular needs.
GOAL 2. Eliminate transportation related fatalities and serious injuries for all transportation modes.
GOAL 3. Deliver transportation improvements and maintenance cost effectively and responsive to the needs of all users of the transportation system.
GOAL 4. Establish a climate-resilient transportation system that anticipates, adapts to, and mitigates the impacts of climate change.
GOAL 5. Ensure that plans, investments, policies, and transportation decisions will reduce disparities for historically and systemically marginalized, underserved, and excluded populations.
