Today’s Presentation • Travel Demand • Measures of Mobility • How Will We Respond?
How Will We Respond? Safety Mobility Options
How Will We Respond? • Safety • Implement the Strategic Highway Safety Plan • Aggressive Driving/Driving Under the Influence • Increase Seat Belt Use • Improved Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety • High Accident Intersections and Vehicle Run-Off and Cross Over Locations
How Will We Respond? • Improve Mobility • Maximize the capacity of the existing transportation systems • Technological/Operational Improvements • Focus funding on congested corridors and "bottlenecks" • Improve Timeliness of Project Development and Delivery • Look at Short-term and Long-term Funding Options
How Will We Respond? • Mobility Options • Managed Lanes/Hot lanes • Invest in Public Transportation • Support local transit initiatives • Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) • Increased "Regional" Emphasis • Consider new corridors and alternatives to "built out" corridors
