- Supports safe and sustainable strategies for the County’s street network.
- Creates better access to communities, job centers, and places of interest.
- Recommends complete streets for transportation options for all users.
- Recommends new or improved streets, services, and bicycle/pedestrian facilities.
- Enhances implementation tools to support capital improvement projects and development review processes.
“We are proud of our collaborative work with residents, various government agency partners, and the incorporated municipalities located across Prince George’s County to establish a vision for a safe, sustainable, and equitable multimodal transportation network, to integrate new technology and innovation that has emerged over the past decade, and to incorporate various new ways we move including micromobility, air mobility, water mobility, goods movement, and super commuting,” said Lakisha Hull, Director of the M-NCPPC Prince George’s County Planning Department.
