Reg icnalstakehclders completed a new <br /> generation(TRM D ) model for the 2020 base year_ <br /> A key component of the TRM is a Triangle-wide land use model that forecasts where people will <br /> lire, work, shop,and get services through the year 2050_ <br /> Congestion Management Process(CMP)and Mobility Report Caryl(MRC) <br /> - A systematic approach to managing new and existing transportation systemsfor relieving <br /> congestion and maximizing the safety and mobility of people and goads, <br /> - This work focuses on data collection,such as roadway weekday count,turning movement count <br /> (TM )of intersections,and transit ridership data produce performance measures- <br /> 2 <br /> 3 Doug Plachcinski said their models forecast future demand. He said they are also <br /> 4 promoting alternative transportation forms, reducing congestion, and emissions. <br /> 5 <br /> 6 <br /> 7 Slide #7 <br /> CURRENTYEAR DC <br /> TRANSIT PLANNING <br /> • Orange County Transit Plan and Durham County Transit Plan Updates <br /> Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Grant <br /> - Improve seniors' and persons'with dlaabllltles moblilty by removing transportation service barrkers and <br /> expanding transportation optlons. <br /> DCHC MPO served as the Designated Recipient of FTA funds.and coordinated a competitive selection <br /> process for projects. <br /> Awards to Orange County Department on Aging.OoDurham,and Chapel Hill Transit. <br /> TECHNICAL SERVICFS <br /> • Rapid Policy Assessment Tool (RPAT) <br /> Used to suppvrtthe MTP development process by prod ucingkey performance measures, such as VMT, from <br /> scenarios that differ in land use,transportation network and services, and policies, <br /> Big Data <br /> - Produces current system performance data such as vehkle speeds,travel time, volumes,and traveler <br /> orlginMestinatlon to supportdeclslon-making_ <br /> 8 <br /> 9 <br /> 10 <br />
