DEMOGRAPHICS
Charlotte is becoming increasingly older and more diverse , reshaping the very nature of who we are and what we need . We must re-balance our mobility choices to fit the changing needs of our future city .
REGIONAL
We are the center of the region . How we invest shapes lives within , and beyond Charlotte ’ s borders . Our mobility and investment strategy must build and strengthen regional partnerships and define shared success .
ALIGNMENT
We are envisioning our future at all levels with transformational plans underway shaping our growth , development , land use , transit , and recreational space . Mobility is a common thread throughout these efforts , and now is the time to align a shared vision .
TRADEOFFS
Our space and resources are limited ; accommodating each need equally simply is not possible . We must face the difficult tradeoffs necessary to support under-invested modes of transportation ( e . g ., walking , biking , transit ) to help ensure safe and comfortable transportation choices .
