Transportation Planning Rule A major goal of the TPR is reducing reliance on the automobile and encouraging pedestrian, bicy cle, and transit facilities as part of a m ulti-m odal transporta tion sy stem . For MPO areas, the TPR establishes three objectives for reducing autom obile vehicle m iles traveled (VMT) per capita: 1. No increase within 10 y ears 2. A 10 percent reduction in 20 y ears 3. A 20 percent reduction in 30 y ears. These objectives are to be achieved by increasing the shar e of non-autom obile trips (pedestrian, bicy cle or transit), reducing the num ber of single occupant vehi cle trips, increasing average vehicle occupancy , or reducing the num ber of trips and/or length of trips required through m ore intensive land use and/or a better m ix of land uses. Table 1 cross-references TPR requirem ents and Me dford’ s code provisions and other applicable regulations and plan language. E ach section is described below.
