2030 Hennepin County Transportation Systems Plan (HC-TSP)

As part of the 2030 Hennepin County Comprehensive Plan, the 2030 Hennepin County Transportation Systems Plan represents an on-going transportation planning effort that:

• Articulates a transportation vision
• Updates previous planning work
• Provides guidance for future transportation decisions
• Is a multi-modal plan that addresses the needs of all transportation users and modes

The purpose of the Hennepin County Transportation Systems Plan (2030 HC-TSP) is to set the stage for future transportation investments that will keep the county competitive in attracting businesses and future work force, and will sustain a high quality of life for county residents into the future. The 2030 Hennepin County Transportation Systems Plan was adopted by the County Board of Commissioners on June 28, 2011 (Resolution No. 11-2075R1).

Hennepin County is a great place to live and work with diverse land use patterns and close proximity to employment centers. The county's transportation vision is to sustain and enhance the economic competitiveness of Hennepin County and the quality of life of its residents by enhancing transportation mobility, improving transportation safety, and increasing transportation choice. These efforts will focus on marshalling multi-agency resources along with private sector funds to shape development and transportation improvements (place-making) to enhance competitiveness and sustainability within the county.

The goals of the 2030 HC-TSP are
