CASP and the TPB's Vision

In October 1998, the TPB unanimously adopted the Vision for the future of transportation in the region. The Vision is a policy document with eight key goals and associated objectives and strategies to guide transportation into the 21st century.

Goal 8 of the TPB's Vision reads: The Washington metropolitan region will support options for international and inter-regional travel and commerce.

Goal 8 has three objectives:

1. The Washington region will be among the most accessible in the nation for international and inter-regional passenger and goods movements.
2. Continued growth in passenger and goods movement between the Washington region and other nearby regions in the mid-Atlantic area.
3. Connectivity to and between Washington Dulles International, Ronald Reagan Washington National, and Baltimore-Washington Thurgood Marshall International Airports.

The first strategy for implementing goal 8 is: Maintain convenient access to all of the region's major airports for both people and goods.
