APPENDIX ‘B’ TRANSPORTATION VISION SCENARIOS 1 ’2 & 3

Scenario 1, Sustaining Existing Service Levels - represents a continuation of current trends in the provision of transportation infrastructure and services, land use approaches and policy directions (similar fo Capacity Enhancement Strategy contained in the 200 TMP).

Scenario 2, Balanced Approach - involves a moderate policy shiff relative to current trends aiming at less dependence on the automobile (similar to the Transpodation Strategy contained in the 2004 TMP); and

Scenario 3, Transit Focus - represents a significant policy shiff aimed at substantially less dependence on the automobile (goes beyond the 2004 TMP Transportation Strategy).
