Explanation:
cross-cutting strategies are strategies but they are broad-based in scope and effecting other strategies. So here "transportation, economic development, air and water quality, social equity, growth" strategies are tought as cross-cutting strategies.

Explanation:
I'm not convinced by the English here at all; IMO, it was written by someone who has converted the expression "to cut across" into an adjective, and it doesn't work properly. In fact, I think what was meant is: "inter-related" - in other words, they all affect, or cut across, one another to a certain extent.
