The goals for Communities in Motion, identified in
a series of community "café" style
workshops in late 2003 and early 2004, resulted in the following goals,
which are in DRAFT form. The COMPASS Board of Directors will approve
the goals in the near future.

system improvements and maintenance.
Objective 1.3 – Develop and provide transportation alternatives
to the single-occupancy vehicle.
Objective 1.4 – Determine strategies for improving the ability
