Ty pical projects included in the TSP m ulti-m odal action plan include the remainder of the 17-project list; safety projects that address existing high crash rate locations and other potentially high risk safety needs; projects that address current and anticipated congestion problem locations; projects to encourage the use of alternative travel modes such as walking, bicy cling and transit through the provision of needed infrastructure; econom ic developm ent projects; and projects that m ake more efficient use of the existing transportation sy stem .
