Efficient Mobility Options – Invest in transportation systems, facilities and operations that provide multi-modal choices for the efficient and sustainable movement of people, goods, and services. VNT Guiding Principles Activity Centers – Create mixed use developments that are centers of neighborhoods and community activities and serve as hubs of non-automobile transportation systems. Environmental Stewardship – Protect, retain or enhance the region’s important natural assets (including its air, water, land and forests) and integrate these natural features and systems into the character of the region’s communities and the experiences of its residents. Quality Places – Strengthen the identities of the region’s diverse communities through preservation of significant historic structures and natural assets, creation of new landmarks and gathering spaces, use of compatible architectural and landscape design, and support for the activities and institutions that make each community unique.
