Mobility OptionsFigure 2.1Issues and Needs Translation to Mobility SolutionsHighwayIssues and Needs1. Westbound roadway congestion2. Eastbound roadway congestion (includeinterchange capacity constraints at theDulles Toll Road)3. Capacity issues at I‐<strong>66</strong>/arterial interchanges4. Non‐HOV users during HOV operation hoursTransit5. Orange Line Metrorail congestion6. Adverse impact <strong>of</strong> roadway congestion on bus service7. Challenges to intermodal transfers (rail, bus, bike, car)Bike & Pedestrian8. Bottlenecks on W&OD and Custis Trails9. Limitations/gaps in bicycle and pedestrian accessibilityand connectivityMobility Solutions• I‐<strong>66</strong> Capacity Enhancement• Arterial Capacity Enhancement• I‐<strong>66</strong> HOT System• HOV Restrictions/Exemptions• ITS/System Operations• Metrorail Level‐<strong>of</strong>‐Service and Capacity• Bus Transit Level‐<strong>of</strong>‐Service and Capacity• Intermodal Connections/Station Access• Bike/Pedestrian SystemThe mobility solutions represent a distinct set <strong>of</strong> corridor implementation objectives thatrespond to the issues and needs in the corridor. The potential mobility options also wereorganized by mode and submode, or transportation system element. The details <strong>of</strong> thesolutions are listed below.Highway Mobility SolutionsI-<strong>66</strong> Capacity Enhancement – Responds to issues and needs statements 1, 2, and 3. Thefocus <strong>of</strong> this solution is to address congestion on I-<strong>66</strong> through capacity enhancements to theI-<strong>66</strong> mainline and interchange ramps. Arterial Capacity Enhancement – Responds to issues and needs statements 1, 2, 3, and 6.The focus <strong>of</strong> this solution is to address arterial capacity bottlenecks through capacityenhancements to major arterials in the I-<strong>66</strong> corridor and I-<strong>66</strong> interchange improvements.I-<strong>66</strong> HOT Lane System – Responds to issues and needs statements 1, 2, 3, and 4. The focus<strong>of</strong> this solution is to address I-<strong>66</strong> congestion through implementation <strong>of</strong> a HOT lane system. HOV Restrictions/Exemptions – Responds to issues and needs statements 1, 2, 3, and 4.The focus <strong>of</strong> this solution is to address I-<strong>66</strong> congestion by changing HOV rules andupdating or removing other vehicle exemptions on I-<strong>66</strong>.2-2 I-<strong>66</strong> <strong>Multimodal</strong> <strong>Study</strong>
