The Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho
(COMPASS) is the metropolitan planning organization
(MPO) for Ada and Canyon Counties. COMPASS has
developed this checklist as a tool for local governments to
evaluate whether land developments are consistent with
the goals of Communities in Motion 2040 (CIM 2040), the
regional long-range transportation plan for Ada and
Canyon Counties. CIM 2040 was developed through a
collaborative approach with COMPASS member agencies
and adopted by the COMPASS Board on July 21, 2014.
This checklist is not intended to be prescriptive, but rather
a guidance document based on CIM 2040 goals,
objectives, and performance measures. A checklist user
guide is available here; and more information about the
CIM 2040 goals can be found here; and information on
the CIM 2040 Vision can be found here.
