Great Things are Happening in Utah!

The “Utah Model”National Recognition of Utah Collaboration “As a practicing professional planner, I’ve

found it refreshing to visit a region that is so intently focused on moving forward with high value placed on the quality of civic engagement, and with leaders so committed to the value of place — and collaborative decision making.”

-- David Boyd, Citiwire (August 2010)

“While much of the nation sputters along, Utah continues to reinvent itself in dramatic ways.”

-- Allen Best, Planning Magazine (October 2010)

“The most cited success is Envision Utah.”-- The Washington Post (June 2006)

Regional Visioning A revolution in “scale

appropriate” problem solving Empowers regions to enhance

quality of life and successfully compete in the new global paradigm

Regional Visioning is the

Natural Evolution of “Place Making”

to a Larger Scale

Is it worth it?

Growth Strategy Implemented

save $4.5 billion in future infrastructure costs over the next 20 years

conserve more land (171 square miles)

provide more housing choices lower emissions resulting in less

pollution reduce water consumption make our transportation system

more efficient with less congestion on the roads

Mountain View Corridor – a multimodal parallel corridor to I-15

New Guiding Principles

Livability - Work to enhance the quality of life in the region by supporting initiatives that increase opportunities for affordable housing, education, jobs, recreation, and civic involvement without increasing the burden on citizens to enjoy their community.

Sustainability – Strive to support growth and prosperity without sacrificing the health, environment, natural and socio-cultural resources, or financial stability of this or future generations.

Prosperity – Contribute to the continued economic well-being of the greater Nashville area by investing in transportation solutions that increase access to education, jobs, and amenities, reduce the cost of living and doing business, and attract new investment to the region.

Diversity – Recognize the multitude of needs and the variety of perspectives and backgrounds of the people that live and work in the greater Nashville area by promoting a range of transportation choices that are designed with sensitivity to the desired context.

Water is our most precious natural resource. With only 3 percent of the world’s water existing as fresh water, nearly every continent is feeling the affects of the global water crisis. For some, it’s the lack of clean drinking water. For farmers,

it’s the inability to feed the thirst of valuable crops. Just as “easy oil” has dried up, fresh water

has become more difficult to access and transport.

How to Attain Stricter EPA Ozone Standard?

Reducing combustion emissions from:

Power Plants & Industry stationary sources– Industrial sites employ low-NOx boilers– TVA investments in air pollution control devices and retiring

older coal-fired plants

Vehicles & Transportation Fuels mobile sources (on-road and off-road)– Improved fleet and fuel economy– Changes in Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT)– EPA SmartWay Transportation Partnership
