The following planning strategies will be researched during the development of the GO TO 2040 regional comprehensive plan. Most of these have been recommended for implementation by past plans; others, such as infrastructure privatization, have arisen as major issues recently. CMAP intends to conduct research on these strategies to determine what effect each strategy would have if it were implemented.
Please note that this is a draft list that is continually being expanded and changed through discussion with partner agencies and CMAP’s working committees. The finalized strategies will be evaluated to determine which are most effective at meeting regional goals. In the fourth stage of our planning process, several alternative future scenarios for the region's development will be created, each combining a number of planning strategies. For more information, download our Planning Process brochure (4.2 MB PDF).

* The Volpe Center, part of the USDOT’s Research and Innovative Technology Administration, has provided recommendations on how CMAP might incorporate goals to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and reduce energy use in the GO TO 2040 plan. The intent is to assist CMAP as it incorporates policies, investments, and other actions within the scenario planning process to accomplish climate change and energy goals. This paper is meant to gather background information, clarify issues, and present recommendations, but does not reflect adopted CMAP policy. It is meant to spark discussion by stakeholders on the GO TO 2040 plan’s role in climate change mitigation. Contact Jesse Elam (312-386-8688) with any feedback on this report (PDF 836 KB).
