PEL Implementation
Resource Guide
A community's vision and strategies are estab-
lished and continually validated through stake-
holder involvement. When there is a collaborative
partnership in place, the community vision and
strategies will respect and incorporate goals for both
natural resources and transportation. It is a "both/
and" approach, instead of "either/or," and it reflects
stakeholders' integrated thinking on these matters,
not separating everything out into jurisdictions
and regulatory or functional area "silos."
Thus, PEL begins by:
Grounding everyone's planning and under-
·
standing the community's vision and strategies;
Developing relationships among planning
·
partners so individual plans can be integrated;
and
Validating these efforts through
·
on-going dialogue with stakeholders.
These steps assure that information
provided really makes a difference in the
work that is done and the decisions that are
made.
Community Vision
And Strategies
The community vision and strategies should
be the basis for all transportation decision-
making starting with long-range planning
through environmental analysis, design, and
eventually implementation of transportation
projects and services. In addition, these
should be the foundation for all community
planning processes such as land use, trans-
portation, and economic development. They
can inform all related planning processes
such as conservation, watershed, and private
land development decisions. The community
vision and strategies can tie together all
public and private decisions to create the quality of
life that the citizens desire.
The community vision and strategies imply seeking
agreement about the desired outcome of a program
or project and articulating the kind of community its
residents want--5, 10, or 20 years into the future.
This agreement is not always easy to articulate. A
community's vision and strategies are the ideal and
may change over time. A community should revisit
the visioning process periodically to reaffirm where
it is heading, ideally through a collaborative stake-
holder involvement process that draws all segments
of the community into a dialogue about their
collective future.
