The starting point for the development of the Volusia TPO 2035 LRTP included identifying a vision for the effort as well as a set of goals to help guide the planning process. The Vision statement and goals should be clear and understandable to everyone involved and should reflect the values of the community. 

We will continue to re-visit our vision and goals throughout the planning effort to ensure our activities proceed with consideration to these attributes. We also welcome the thoughts of our community in shaping these statements as we move through the planning effort. Please read these items and feel free to make suggestions if you believe they should be modified.
