EXISTING CONDITIONS TRAVEL PATTERNS IN THREE INTERCITY CORRIDORS On November, 2002, NTRAC decided to focus its analysis on three corridors. The decision was based primarily on the observation of the statewide travel patterns represented in Figure 2-1. These corridors are: 1. Omaha-Lincoln-York-Grand Island-Kearney 2. Norfolk-Fremont-Omaha (alternatives include a routing via Columbus and another direct between Fremont and Norfolk) 3. South Sioux City-Fremont-Omaha-Nebraska City A discussion of intercity travel patterns along the corridors appears below. This chapter defines the patterns in terms of estimates of daily motor vehicle volume between the major city pairs in each corridor. The Planning and Project Development Division of the Nebraska Department of Roads prepared these estimates. The Year 2000 origin and destination (O&D) information was developed from the Nebraska Statewide Traffic Model 2000 trip matrix and the 2000 Statewide Traffic Assignment Network. The statewide traffic model was developed in the early 1970s based on an intensive statewide O&D study. It has been updated with decennial Census data in 1980, 1990, and 2000. The model was designed to estimate traffic in the rural areas on the State highway system. The model does not include internal circulating traffic within the major metropolitan areas. For this reason, the sections of the State highway systems that fell within Lancaster, Douglas and Sarpy Counties were excluded from all calculations. The 2000 O&D trip totals were adjusted to 2000 volumes applying an adjustment factor. This factor was calculated by dividing the 2000 Traffic Count Miles of Travel (CMT) by the 2000 traffic assignment Vehicle Miles of Travel (VMT) for each O&D path. The daily volume estimates in the three corridors were prepared using minimum time paths between the city pairs. Corridor 1: Kearney-Grand Island-York-Lincoln-Omaha As shown in Table 2-1, there are over 10,000 daily trips in this corridor. About two-thirds are between Lincoln and Omaha. Other origin and destination pairs are substantially smaller. Of these, three are noticeably larger than the rest. These are Grand Island-Omaha, Kearney-Grand Island, and York-Lincoln. All trips occur on Interstate 80 (I-80). 384180 NEBRASKA TRANSIT CORRIDORS STUDY Page 2 - 8 WILBUR SMITH ASSOCIATES

One is Norfolk-Fremont-Omaha, and the other is Norfolk- Columbus-Fremont-Omaha. These two routes are reflected in the traffic counts shown in Table 2-2. The corridor has over 5,300 intercity trips per day. The largest flow is between Fremont and Omaha. A distant second is between Columbus and Fremont. The Norfolk-Columbus- Fremont-Omaha corridor sees about 400 more intercity trips daily than does the Norfolk- Fremont-Omaha corridor.

Three-quarters of the trips occur between Blair and Omaha. The second largest flow is between Omaha and Nebraska City. What is not shown in this table are trips made between Omaha and Sioux City on I-29 through Iowa. 384180 NEBRASKA TRANSIT CORRIDORS STUDY Page 2 - 9 WILBUR SMITH ASSOCIATES
