6 The Cape Cod Metropolitan Planning Organization envisions a transportation system that supports the environmental and economic vitality of the region through infrastructure investment that focuses on livability, sustainability, equity, and preservation of the character that makes our special place special. Performance-Based Planning Vision Statement Establishes the overarching vision of the plan

7 DRAFT GOALS Safety Safety Environmental and Economic Vitality Environmental and Economic Vitality Livability and Sustainability Livability and Sustainability Multimodal Options/Healthy Transportation Multimodal Options/Healthy Transportation Congestion Reduction Congestion Reduction System Preservation System Preservation Freight Mobility Freight Mobility See handout for detailed Draft Vision Statement, Goals, Objectives, & Performance Measures

8 Goal 1: Provide safe travel options for all users Reduce the number and severity of crashes associated with all modes of transportation Reduce serious injuries and fatalities associated with all modes of transportation SAFETY Reduce crashes, injury crashes, fatal crashes, and crashes involving bicycles and pedestrians by 10% in 10 years

9 EXISTING CONDITIONS: INFRASTRUCTURE BY THE NUMBERS

10 Signalized or Circular Intersections 84% Signalized 16% Circular 154 3,863 Miles of Roadway 80% Local Roads 10% Regional Roads EXISTING CONDITIONS: INFRASTRUCTURE BY THE NUMBERS

11 Airfields and Airports 50% Scheduled Carrier Service 33% General Aviation 17% Military 6 102 Bridges 48% Over Roadways 40% Over Water 12% Over Railways EXISTING CONDITIONS: INFRASTRUCTURE BY THE NUMBERS

12 Navigational Aids 58% Navigational Lights 43% Fog Signals 10% Active Light Houses 29 Public Boat Ramps 55% Coastal 45% Ponds, Lakes, or Rivers 125 EXISTING CONDITIONS: INFRASTRUCTURE BY THE NUMBERS

13 Railroad Crossings 78% At-Grade 22% Grade Separated 102 54 Miles of Rail Track 59% Cape Cod Line 19% Otis Branch 13% Woods Hole Branch 8% Hyannis Branch EXISTING CONDITIONS: INFRASTRUCTURE BY THE NUMBERS

14 Miles of Roadway with Sidewalks 84% One Side 16% Two Sides 229 91 Miles of Paved Multi-Use Paths 42% Cape Cod National Seashore, Nickerson State Park, Other 32% Cape Cod Rail Trail 15% Cape Cod Canal Bikeway 12% Shining Sea Bikeway EXISTING CONDITIONS: INFRASTRUCTURE BY THE NUMBERS

15 RESILIENCY PLANNING: UPDATE Goal of UPWP + RTP: to assist local officials in adopting resiliency strategies for critical transportation infrastructure

16 RESILIENCY PLANNING: UPDATE Vulnerability Assessment in 2013 + 2014 There are transportation assets vulnerable to sea level rise in all 5 modes and 15 towns

17 RESILIENCY PLANNING: UPDATE Sub-regional approach to resiliency planning -Review transportation vulnerabilities -Investigate resiliency options

18 EXISTING CONDITIONS: SAFETY

19 SAFETY: Crashes by Severity

20 SAFETY: CRASHES ON ROUTES 6, 28, AND 6A Crashes per Year (Annual Average) Crashes per MVMT (Million Vehicle Miles Traveled) MassDOT RMV Crash Records (2009-2011)

21 SAFETY: FATAL CRASHES ON ROUTES 6, 28, AND 6A Fatal Crashes per Year (Annual Average) Fatal Crashes per 100 MVMT (Million Vehicle Miles Traveled) MassDOT RMV Crash Records (2009-2011)

22 EXISTING CONDITIONS: FREIGHT

23 FREIGHT: Routes and Reported Crashes

24 UNIVERSE OF PROJECTS +Under development, seeking input +Universe of projects must be evaluated and a decision made on projects to include within the financial constraint of the RTP

25 ADDRESSING CANAL CROSSING OPTIONS: APPROACHES FOR THE RPT 1. “Yes to a Canal Crossing Project.” Include a “Canal Crossing Project” with a cost estimate that may or may not be within the regions financial constraint. 2. “No to a Canal Crossing Project.” After explicit consideration, choose not to include any canal crossing options in the RTP. 3. “Include the a Canal Crossing Project, pending results of study.” Include a “Canal Crossing Project” with language indicating that it is anticipated that the project would be funded from sources other than the regional target funds (ie. a statewide fund or public-private approach). With additional language that the recommendation is conditional basis pending the resolution of concerns expressed in the project review process. 4. “No action, wait and see.” Wait to address with an amendment as needed after the study is complete. Potentially make reference to the study but note that given the early nature of the work. It will be readdressed by the MPO once a preferred alternative is identified.

26 NEXT STEPS +Public outreach +Ongoing – Review of draft sections +April – Discussion of project priorities +May – MPO Releases Draft RTP
