It aligns with the city’s 2013-2030 comprehensive plan, which identified multimodal support as one of the guiding principles for transportation. Hitchcock said multimodal transportation is crucial to those who don’t have a car to ensure that everyone can access food, health care, school and other essential services. Quintero added that the multimodal plan is also a central strategy for the city’s economic development. That’s where the Lynchburg Multimodal Plan and its two data-packed maps come in. The goal is to adopt a transportation plan by the end of the fall season, according to the project webpage.
