I-95 Transit and TDM Plan I-95 Corridor Stakeholder and Service Provider Meeting #2 June 13, 2011
Meeting Agenda Review of Project Objectives/Scope Tech Memo #1 Overview Proposed Approach for Corridor Service, Facility and TDM Recommendations Next Steps Questions/Discussion
Project Overview Determine cost-effective transit and TDM improvements for I-95 corridor for 2015, 2035 and beyond 2035 Project is to refine prior Transit and TDP Plan based on current HOT/HOV Lane project definition Project is no longer directly tied to I-95 HOT/HOV Lane project, but will look at how transit and TDM measures can effectively utilize HOT/HOV Lanes There are no defined funding assumptions at this point. Funding is to be determined by the Secretary of Transportation
Project Objectives Preserve and increase transit capacity, use, and operational efficiency in I-95 corridor Increase transit levels of service in a cost-effective manner and provide increased service to activity centers Maintain or improve corridor transit market share Maximize transit utilization of HOT/HOV lanes
