(4) Develop strategies to gradually reduce the per capita vehicle miles traveled based on consideration of a range of reduction methods;

(5) Consider efficiency tools, including high occupancy vehicle and high occupancy toll lanes, corridor-specific and systemwide pricing strategies, active traffic management, commute trip reduction, and other demand management tools;
