CHAPTER 5, MOBILITY ADOPTED 06.24.13 Mobility 5.1 INTRODUCTION A successful, thriving community depends, in part, on a well-planned transportation system.

Options are essential, both in terms of ways to move around the city (via car or by transit, bike, or on foot) and multiple, alternative paths to get places. Complete streets (sometimes The purpose of this chapter is to ensure orderly development, extension, and referred to as livable streets) are roadways that are designed and improvement of Valparaiso’s transportation system, both within the operated to enable safe, attractive, corporate limits and throughout the future growth areas.

Fractured Transit at Coordinating Bus and Train Times Between Agencies, but Each Operates with a Separate Budget and Separate Management
Multiple bus agencies and the South Shore commuter railroad provide mass transit services in Northwest Indiana. There have been some fledgling efforts Fractured transit at coordinating bus and train times between agencies, but each operates with a separate budget and separate management. Many bus routes stop at municipal borders, and there is no system in place for buying transfers when switching from one bus system to another. A report recently delivered to the Northwest Indiana Regional Development Authority found merging the bus systems of Hammond, East Chicago and Gary could save up to $500,000 annually and set the stage for future expansion.
