These measures can include <br />physical changes to the road layout, like speed bumps or roundabouts, as well as visual cues and <br />environmental improvements. <br />Transit – Public transportation network(s) designed to move large numbers of people efficiently within <br />and between urban areas or cities. <br />Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) — Development that is within one-half mile walking distance from <br />and oriented toward a transit station that provides frequent, reliable service. TOD supports transit use <br />through a compact mix of housing, retail and office uses and a walkable, pedestrian-oriented character. <br />Transportation 2050 — An action plan produced by the Puget Sound Regional Council for transportation <br />in the Central Puget Sound Region. <br />Transportation Analysis Zone (TAZ) – A geographic unit used in transportation planning models to <br />represent the spatial distribution of trip origins and destinations. <br />Trip Generation – The process of estimating the number of trips that are produced (originating from) <br />and attracted (destined to) a particular area or land use. <br />Underserved Communities – Communities that have been systemically underserved due to their <br />identity, including but not limited to Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC), LGBTQIA2S+ <br />individuals, immigrants and refugees, individuals with limited English proficiency, households with low <br />incomes and people with disabilities. The lack of service has often resulted in limited access to <br />resources, opportunities, and equitable services, leading to disparities in areas such as housing, <br />education, employment, and healthcare. <br />Universal Design — A system of design that helps ensure that buildings and public spaces are accessible <br />to people with or without disabilities and regardless of age or ability. <br />Urban Center — Areas designated by the Countywide Planning Policies located on existing or planned <br />transit corridors where there will be higher levels of residential density and employment intensity that <br />support regional land use and transportation goals. <br />Vanpool — An organized ridesharing arrangement for people, typically 6 to 15, travel together between <br />fixed points on a regular basis in a van. Expenses are shared with a volunteer driver or drivers. <br />Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) — A metric that measures the total miles traveled by all vehicles within a <br />specific area over a defined period. For transit, it is same metric for the number of vehicle miles <br />operated on a given route, line, or network. <br />Very Low-Income Housing — Housing that is affordable to a household that earns between 30 and 50 <br />percent of the area median income, adjusted for household size. <br />Vision – Broad, aspirational statement of what an organization or individual wants to achieve in the <br />future. <br />VISION 2050 — The Puget Sound regional growth strategy for King, Pierce, Snohomish, and Kitsap <br />counties.
