Such planning shall be directed to, among other things:
(a) Identification of corridors of travel.

(c) Definition of the transportation goals for each corridor.
(d) Definition of land use goals, with the concurrence of affected local jurisdictions, that should be supported by transportation investment decisions in each corridor.

(i) Determination of regional priorities and an annual regional program for the use of federal-aid urban system funds, and funds to be expended pursuant to Section 1604 of Title 49 of the United States Code, based on the priorities of projects appearing in the short-range transportation improvement program adopted by each commission.
(j) Review and comment concerning all near-term transportation improvement programs after the development of, but prior to, adoption of such programs by the commission. The review shall be conducted pursuant to Section 130059 and in such a manner so that it does not unnecessarily slow or impede the transportation planning and programming process.
(k) Development of an annual unified work program for all transportation planning activities within the jurisdiction of the multicounty designated transportation planning agency in cooperation and coordination with the Department of Transportation and the commission and in conformance with federal laws and rules and regulations. Such cooperation and coordination shall specifically apply to the determination of appropriate planning methods for projecting and planning transportation use, and its effect on land use, within the jurisdiction of the agency.
