1. Multimodal Maturity of Virginia’s Transportation Corridors April 19, 2006 presented by Alex Linthicum

2. Overview • Introduction to VTrans2025 • Multimodal Corridors • Multimodal Corridor Maturity Model • Future work

3. Introduction to VTrans2025 • Implementation of a statewide multi-modal long-range transportation plan is both a federal and state legislative requirement • The Federal Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) establishes procedures for statewide transportation planning • The Code of Virginia requires the state to prepare a statewide transportation plan • VTrans 2025 fulfills the  requirements of both TEA-21 and the Code of Virginia

4. Introduction to VTrans2025 • TEA-21 requires the following considerations as part of the LRTP • Support economic vitality • Increase the safety and security for motorized and non-motorized users • Increase the accessibility and mobility options available • Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, and improve quality of life • Enhance the integrationand connectivityacross and between modes • Promote efficient system management and operation • Emphasize the preservation of the existing transportation system

5. Introduction to VTrans2025 • The legislation required presentation of the plan to the Governor and General Assembly, December 2002, and every five years thereafter • The plan must • Contain a comprehensive review of statewide transportation needs • Establish goals, objectives, and priorities covering a 20-year planning horizon • Consider all modes of transportation • Promote economic development, multi-modal connectivity, environmental quality, accessibility, and safety

6. Introduction to VTrans2025 • Responsible for creating and maintaining the statewide multimodal long-range transportation plan is the Vtrans2025 Technical Committee • Developed by the Secretary of Transportation • Department of Aviation (DOAV) • Department of Rail and Public Transportation (VDRPT) • Port Authority (VPA) • Department of Transportation (VDOT)

7. What is VTrans2025? The 2002 VTrans2025 Final report projects $108 Billionin unmet needs over the next 20 years Our work is to assist the state in determining strategies for cost effective allocation of transportation funding

8. Multimodal Corridors • Cost effective strategies include • Improving efficiency using existing network capacity • Balancing traffic of passengers and goods across modes • Concentrating improvements in corridors of statewide significance • The above strategies are manifested in Virginia’s Multimodal Corridors • Major transportation links for people and/or goods • Multiple modes • Automobiles / Trucks • Rail • Transit • Air

9. Multimodal Corridors

10. Multimodal Corridor Maturity Model Projects located within a corridor might receive priority for investment, but how should corridor investments be judged against one another? Which corridors benefit most from multimodal investment?

11. Multimodal Corridor Maturity Model • Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute developed the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) • A maturity model provides a • Common language and a shared vision • Framework for prioritizing actions • Way to define improvement • Can benchmark different organizations for equivalent comparison

12. Potential Maturity Multimodal Corridor Maturity Model • Instead of software design capability of organizations, we focus on ability of statewide transportation corridors to provide robust and varied service • The Multimodal Corridor Maturity Model borrows from the CMMI framework, viewing each corridor in terms of its • Potential for multimodal investment • Existing multimodal maturity

13. Multimodal Corridor Maturity Model • We can create stages of maturity based on performance metrics • Density (population, housing, jobs, attractions) • Accessibility to attractions by mode within time radius • Percent/amount of mixed use zoning • Mode split • Presence / Quality of intermodal facilities • Multimodal LOS • Accidents/injuries/fatalities by mode, normalized by person-mile traveled

14. Multimodal Corridor Maturity Model • Density example • Census 2000 blockgroup density maps • Transit requires density Gray, George. 1992. Systems and service planning in Gray & Hoel, eds. Public Transportation, 2nd edition. Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice-Hall, pg. 369-406.

19. Future work • Define the maturity levels of the MCMM based on performance metrics • Integrate further data into model • Accessibility index • Multimodal “LOS” • Number and quality of intermodal facilities • Zoning regulations • Density • Mixes of Use

20. Future Work • Accessibility – number of opportunities (jobs) within a specific amount of time (45min) by a particular mode (auto) provided by Wendy Klancher, MWCOG
