I-66 Multimodal Study Final Report - Virginia Department of ...

Multimodal Packages3.0 Multimodal PackagesBased on the analysis of the mobility options, described in Section 2.0, and input from theParticipating Agency Representatives Committee (PARC) and stakeholders, four multimodalpackages were developed. Each package included a variety of projects and programs to reducecongestion and improve mobility within the study area.These four packages were comprised of elements of previously tested mobility options withsome modifications and enhancements to address the congestion and mobility goals of thecorridor. All packages include a highway and transit component, integrated corridor management(ICM) solutions, transportation demand management (TDM) programs, and a range ofpedestrian and bicycle improvements.3.1 Approach to Building Multimodal PackagesThe assessment of the mobility options described in Section 2.0 was advanced for more detailedevaluation and included both qualitative and quantitative analyses.Facilitated Workshop to Determine PackagesTo move from mobility options to multimodal packages, a facilitated workshop with the PublicAgency Representative Committee (PARC) was conducted to collaboratively formulate packages,giving consideration to the following aspects of each mobility option:Technical analysis of the measures of effectiveness;Market research findings;Stakeholder and elected official interview input; andPublic comments.This approach expanded the travel demand forecasting model evaluation that was applied forthe mobility options and allowed an opportunity for a variety of perspectives to be consideredin formulating the packages.As described in Section 2.0, the process of testing solutions for addressing congestion andmobility in the I-66 corridor uses information generated from the mobility option technicalanalysis to organize mobility options into multimodal packages. The purpose of the abbreviatedmodeling process described in Section 2.3 was to evaluate each mobility option so thatstrategies could be carried forward into the multimodal packages. Overall, the technical analysiswas focused on:3-1
