In this scenario, the funding priority is to enhance the vehicular network of the region: roads, highways and bridges (not public transportation). The goal is to expand capacity by adding new, viable highway interchanges; reinvigorating the arterial network; optimizing traffic signal timing; reducing average car commute times to major regional job hubs and regulating the flow of traffic that enters freeways (ramp metering). This scenario anticipates that employment and population will not change significantly from current numbers.
