modal transportation system (a system that provides for pedestrian-
ism, bicycles, automobiles, watercraft, and transit) for the citizens of
Tequesta.
Objective: 1.1.0 Continue to provide an energy efficient multi -modal transportation
system that is efficiently managed, circulates traffic safely and
conveniently within the Village, reduces greenhouse gas emissions
through strategies to reduce the number of vehicle miles travelled, and
provides for the safe separation of vehicular and nonvehicular traffic.
Policy:1.1.1 Provide safe and convenient on -site traffic flow through the
implementation of the parking regulations in the land development
regulations.
Policy: 1.1.2 Construct or encourage the provision of multi -modal transportation
facilities as feasible and appropriate in the implementation of
transportation improvements, and require sidewalks in areas of new

Policy: 1.1.3 Promote traffic safety through the use of proper traffic control devices
and street design improvements.
Policy:1.1.4 Restrict fast through traffic to major or minor arterial roads.
Policy:1.1.5 The Village shall ensure the provision of multi -modal transportation

Policy:1.1.6 The Village shall coordinate with the Palm Beach Transportation
Planning Agency (TPA) in the implementation of strategies to reduce
per capita Vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and discourage single occupant
vehicle trips, recognizing that these programs assist in reducing

This can be accomplished through municipal representation on the
MPO and providing for Tri-Rail, alternative fuels, ride sharing,
alternative work hour programs, public transit, parking management
and other transportation control measures that are being continually
developed as part of a Countywide effort.
