1 What Can be Done: Integrated Approach for I-95 in Philadelphia NYSMPO Conference June 22, 2015

2 DVRPC DVRPC is the MPO for nine-county, bi-state Philadelphia region Population = 5.5 million people Employment = 2.8 million jobs Land area = over 3,800 sq. miles Daily traffic = 112 million VMT Transit = 1 million trips per day

3 PennDOT I-95 Project Five sections with dozens of projects that will reconstruct, widen and improve approximately eight miles of I-95 between I-676 and Cottman Avenue north of Center City Philadelphia over the next decade. Part of larger project to rebuild all 51 miles of I-95 in Pennsylvania For more information see 95Revive.com, the source of much of the information in this presentation This is a regional planning presentation and does not represent PennDOT

6 DVRPC s Roles Convener of range of agencies for TIP and Long-Range Plan Convener/analytic role for Congestion Management Process (CMP) Facilitate implementation of CMP strategies Convener/leader role for Incident Management Task Forces and other operations efforts, Technical work such as modeling Gather data, provide analysis, help tell the story

7 Purpose of Work on I Part of the national and regional multimodal network 2. Part of neighborhoods 3. Uses evolving ways to be efficient 4. Effective at traditional ways of moving people and goods

8 Operations 1. Part of Multimodal Network Existing: online Interactive Detour Route Mapping (IDRuM) & Regional Integrated Multi-Modal Information Sharing (RIMIS) Underway: Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) Transit Done: expanded park & ride lots, flex $41m for additional rail cars Exploring BRT on US 1/Roosevelt Blvd Freight: Delaware River has major port facilities

9 Extent of Rail, Ports, and Other Infrastructure

10 2. Part of Neighborhoods Sustainable Action Committee since 2010 Incorporated: landscaping & rain gardens, noise walls, public art, lighting, improved connections to waterfront (new connections, sidewalk and bike lanes improvements, bike paths, trails), parks and gateways to neighborhoods Make using a range of modes more reasonable and have economic development benefits Also a new TIP project for concept development of capping an additional section of I-95 south of Center City

11 Extent of Trail & Related Improvements

12 PennDOT Renderings

13 Outreach Examples

14 Other Communities Freight Regular presentations at DVRPC Goods Movement Task Force, cooperation has led to refinements in access to ports and shipping facilities Emergency responders Philadelphia Incident Management Task Force Megaregion - Balancing loads on park & ride lots across state lines with New Jersey

15 3. Uses Evolving Ways to be Efficient Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Transportation Management Associations (TMA)s contract Variable message boards with train and drive times Operations Investing in fiber & hardware on many alternate routes Helping fund Philadelphia Traffic Operations Center (TOC) Need legislative approval for speed harmonization & automated enforcement Crash analysis & Road Safety & Operations Audits (RSOAs)

16 Harnessing Data Origins/destinations, speeds, vehicle classes Recurring and non-recurring congestion/reliability What goods are being shipped & implications Impacts of construction Impacts of events such as closure of Northeast Corridor

17 Data Construction Impacts

18 Data Impact of Northeast Corridor Closure

19 4. Moving People & Goods Careful construction management Coordinating with other big construction projects Extensive, ongoing planning and financial preparations

20 Closing Thoughts PennDOT has taken intermodal planning seriously as part of getting the most effect possible in a constrained situation Regional, multimodal, and neighborhood planning are innovations even without major new infrastructure Elements that made this possible were openness by PennDOT (Main Office & District 6), strong existing partners, and a history of working together
