Our Plan

The CONNECT Beyond Regional Mobility Plan serves as a roadmap to build a connected mobility network and shape how our region grows and moves in the future.

Our Key Initiatives

To lay the groundwork for a total mobility network, our initiatives align with a future-focused approach to promote modernization, embrace new technology and advance equity by reducing transportation barriers.

CONNECT Centralina

When alternatives to driving alone emerge, people travel smarter by managing their own mobility. These strategies either increase travel options or change behaviors to make commuting easier for everyone.

Passenger Rail

Passenger rail options make longer trips between cities smoother, more comfortable and more appealing. Passenger rail offers a smarter, long-term option that connects communities, supports regional growth and gives people an alternative to driving.

Mobility Hubs

Mobility hubs allow people to access and switch between different types of transportation easily. Because they offer various services and amenities, mobility hubs make commuting more efficient, enjoyable and easier.  

Seamless CONNECTions

A unified network of mobility options can make travel easier. By improving coordination opportunities between transit agencies, trip planning and transfers become easier for riders.

Emerging Mobility Trends

New technology and innovative solutions help shape the future of how our region moves and connects. CONNECT Beyond follows key emerging mobility trends and establishes programs and projects to impact communities across the region.
