Help assure Silicon Valley’s long-term economic health and quality of life by increasing the ease by which Silicon Valley employees, residents and cargo move through and within the Valley and to do so in a manner that minimizes our impact on the environment. Specifically, seek to: • Expand the reach, modes, interconnectivity and quality of our transportation system; • Increase the capacity and maximize the efficiency of our transportation system; • Reduce transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions; • Seek opportunities to advance related organizational goals, such as protecting open space, promoting transit-oriented development and improving the quality of our air and water. Transportation Policy Committee: Mission Statement
Issues • Does the current Mission accurately reflect what we prioritize? • Is it too wordy? (yes) • Are there things we’re missing? Transportation Policy Committee: Mission Statement

Questions & Discussion • Does the TPC Mission accurately reflect our values? • Do you have questions about staff activities? About the regional transportation landscape? • What should SVLG’s transportation focus be? • From the perspective of your company? (quality of life, business) • From the perspective of the community/region? • What mix of projects, initiatives/programs (ie. Cool Commutes), and events would you find most useful? • Should we increase the frequency of member forums? • Are there things we are currently working on that we shouldn’t be? Or vice versa? • What should our role be in encouraging new transportation technologies?
