CapitalWays Transportation Plan
The CapitalWays Transportation Plan is a forward-looking plan, anticipating the needs of Central Ohio through the year 2030. Predicting how busy roads will likely be, how much people will travel, and where people will be going, a Regional Transportation Plan pinpoints where we will need new roads, repairs to old roads, expanded transit service, and more bikeways.
The CapitalWays Plan entails many components: safety, freight, roads, bikeways, pedestrian services, public transit, transportation maintenance, transportation security, the Intelligent Transportation System (which includes computerized message boards), analysis for air quality, and the forecasting of future land use.
MORPC develops its regional transportation plan over the course of four years. First, transportation planners analyze land use and development data and establish the region’s future situation in terms of the numbers and locations of people and jobs. Then, they work with local governments, transit agencies, state agencies, and members of the private sector that have a role in transportation to identify viable transportation projects. Finally, they devise strategies to meet the transportation needs of the people studied in the original analysis.
The CapitalWays Transportation Plan was adopted by the Policy Committee on May 8, 2008.
