multi-modal planning effort with the goal of improving communication and coordination among partner agencies, geographic areas, and planning efforts. The intent of the Connecting Nevada Plan is to develop an umbrella framework that coordinates and integrates the results of the multitude of planning efforts into a unified, consistent vision.
Through this Plan, the individual goals of various studies, focus areas, and state, regional, and local plans can be synchronized into a concise set of larger, multi-modal transportation goals. Furthermore, the Connecting Nevada Plan provides a broad structure for previous ideas to be reconsidered under changed conditions. The intent is not to replace existing plans, studies, or processes but to enhance their effect across the transportation planning spectrum.
The concept originated from the Nevada Statewide Transportation Technical Advisory Committee (STTAC) as a means to identify and preserve priority right-of-way corridors for transportation. During the Connecting Nevada Plan process, the participating stakeholders recognized the opportunities associated with a coordinated planning structure and process across transportation disciplines and modes, as well as, the ability to better identify priority right-of-way corridors as originally intended. The Connecting Nevada Plan is mid-way through a two-part, multi-agency development process. The Connecting Nevada Interim Report documents the progress the twenty two participating agencies made to date and illustrates the plan moving forward.
Through this Plan, the individual goals of various studies, focus areas, and state, regional, and local plans can be synchronized into a concise set of larger, multi-modal transportation goals.
