what Corridor planning in transportation is all about

1. CORRIDOR PLANNING in transportation Rennie Mae B. Chua

2. Questions Have you ever been frustrated because you can’t walk to a convenience store that is only a few hundred feet away because there are no sidewalks?  Or because your children can’t safely ride their bikes to a school located only a mile away?  Corridor Planning An approach that considers multiple forms of transportation, adjacent land uses and the connecting street network can transform the transportation planning process into one that respects and enhances our natural and human environments.

3. Corridor (google) a hall or way through a building, passageway: pasilyo , daan , daanan . 2. passing: paglipas . 3. a means of passing, a way through: pagdaan , pagdaraan . Corridor(Transportation Planning) A broad geographic band connecting population and employment centers served by various transportation modes within which person and freight, travel, land use, topography, environment and other characteristics are evaluated- Vermont Agency of transportation. Defined in the Urban Hamilton Official Plan (2011) as areas of street oriented uses which incorporate a mix of retail, employment and residential uses, developed at overall greater densities, located along arterial roads serving as major transit routes .

4. Corridor Planning It is a multimodal transportation planning approach that recognizes that transportation needs are based on the complex geographic, demographic, economic, and social characteristics of communities provide the state departments of transportation, local governments (including municipal and county), landowners, developers, and residents along the corridor with an overall vision, as well as guidance and coordination on what future infrastructure improvements are needed Why do a corridor Plan/Study? Developing a strategy to address current or future transportation problems. Relating a corridor strategy to a larger system plan. Identifying land use strategies that complement transportation investments. Identifying improvements to include within a local or regional plan. Setting the conditions for setting aside right-of-way within the corridor. Allowing more detailed cost estimates to be prepared

5. Purpose of a Corridor Plan Establish a vision for transportation and land use Long Term Short Term Evaluate the full range of strategies Identify specific projects, strategies and actions for more detailed analysis and implementation Components of a Corridor Plan Visioning and Consensus Planning and Conceptual Design

6. Objective of a Corridor Plan (Montgomery County DOT, 2015) Improve vehicular safety. Enhance the efficiency of the roadway network and improve the connections among economic centers. Accommodate planned land use and future growth. Provide bicycle and pedestrian connections. Enhance emergency response. Vision of a Corridor Plan (Virginia, 2009) Control access points to the corridor. Influence the type of access/connection type. Enhance overall mobility and reduce congestion. Expand travel mode choices. Encourage corridor planning for land use and transportation. Enhance stewardship role for VDOT to preserve transportation investment. Preserve the integrity of corridor as a statewide scenic resource.

7. Traditional Corridor Planning Smart Corridor Planning Examines transportation systems within corridor and identifies improvements to meet long term needs Multi-discipline Conducted between the long range transportation plan and project development Fully integrates land use and transportation planning activities and stakeholders Heavily influenced by safety and mobility needs Sustainable over the long term by creating streetscapes and transportation mode options Led by engineers Recognizes that corridors create communities and places for social interactions

11. Basis of the corridor planning Transportation Environmental and Natural Resources Regional characters Capacity and expansion Preservation of natural resources Land-use regulations and policies Right-of-way Drainage wetlands and water courses Transferable development rights Access Scenic views Local control and regional consistency Local networks Design regulations Interchange design and spacing Approved development and zoning Travel modes Linkages Consistency and Coordination

12. Benefits of a Corridor Study? Improved access along a corridor when land use and transportation planning is coordinated Connecting infrastructure to development decisions, reducing infrastructure costs Coordinated redevelopment and economic development along a corridor Resolution of major planning issues prior to the initiation of project development Identification and possibly preservation of transportation right-of-way Protection of transportation investments Intergovernmental cooperation, partnerships with diverse public and private agencies and organizations Asset management

14. Key points about Corridor plans One size does not fit all—tailor the corridor plan to the problems being addressed. Clearly articulate why the corridor study should be conducted, when it should be initiated, and how the issues will be considered. Relate the corridor plan to regional decisions that set the context for the issues being examined. Identify logical termini for the study. Identify key stakeholders and a public involvement process for informing these stakeholders. Identify a timeline for the completion of the study. Focus on developing and documenting relevant and accurate information that leads to decisions being made within the corridor
