A Latte Republic Venti: The GMA Goals Priority Countdown (#9)

I'm ApexNerd, welcome back to our countdown...

Our Number 9 Goal on the priority countdown is the winner of the three way tie between 9, 10, and 11.

Number 9 is...


Regional Transportation

The Language
"Encourage efficient multimodal transportation systems that are based on regional priorities and coordinated with county and city comprehensive plans"

The Score
Priority Index: 73.1

The Reason
This goal clearly comes into play in all jurisdictions, and it will directly affect every local citizen.

However, even at this point in the countdown, the goals are still light on imperative language. The word "encourage" has been defining these goals for the entire countdown so far.

It was the tie breaker factor that placed this goal ahead of the other two. What is the tie breaking factor?

Find out at the end of our program...
