... 28 Livable Transit Corridors: Methods, Metrics, and Strategies Transit Corridor Livability Principles Goal Name Description High-quality transit, walking, and bicycling opportunities Regional Access Integrate corridor transit, nonmotorized modes, and land uses to provide convenient access to economic, social, and other livability opportunities. Regional Connectivity Promote pedestrian and bicycle routes that offer reasonably direct routes to local destinations and transit stations/stops.
