Dear Mr. Sagha!

I assume you refer to transport infrastructure investments - these have visions to reach:

Yours sincerely, Bulcsu Szekely

A vision statement ideally should be somewhat crowd-sourced and crowd-vetted to see what the public primarily and the stakeholders (politicians, suppliers, labor especially) seek. Is this for transit in particular or transport overall?

Several questions to consider (and prioritize):

- Assuming this is for transport overall, is the focus on vehicle throughput (reduce delay) or people and freight throughput?

- Which environmental concern is more acute, climate change or particulates (which trigger asthma)? If Climate Change, then electrification may be a response. If particulates, then Compressed Natural Gas will suffice. The vision should influence adopted strategies.

- Are your public health professionals involved in the process, to encourage walkability and cycling?

- Is Access to (sometimes exurban) Jobs a focus (both for low-income residents and employers)?

_ Does Safety come First (the standard motto in Transit)?

Will this vision statement lead to a structured analysis of funding submittals to include planning requirements and ranking priorities/methods?

Vision should lead to Mission, Strategies, Performance Indicators, and targets for those KPIs by (not too aspirational) fiscal years (assuming in a peaceful setting that doesn't draw away resources).

Have you any sample from a city?
