I-66 Transit/Transportation Demand Management Study

About the Study

DRPT, in coordination with local jurisdictions and partnering agencies, conducted a transit/transportation demand management (TDM) study for the I-66 Corridor from Washington, D.C., to Haymarket, Virginia.

The study includes a review of potential short- and medium-term transit and TDM improvements for the I-66 Corridor that will increase mobility along the corridor.

DRPT managed the study in coordination with a Technical Advisory Committee comprised of local, state, regional and federal/jurisdictional/agency staff.

Goals and Objectives

• Address local concerns of transit/TDM
• Identify more transportation choices through transit and TDM enhancements that will increase mobility in the I-66 corridor
• Recommend a plan for short- and medium-term transit and TDM service improvements in the I-66 corridor.

Study Recommendations

• Priority Bus Stations and Ramps - direct access ramps in several locations
• Runningway Improvements - signing and marking improvements
• Recommended Transit Services - includes many elements of BRT that will improve the quality and dependability of transit service provided in the corridor
• Park and Ride Lots - the addition of 3,000 spaces through capacity expansions at three existing lots and the construction of four new lots in the western end of the corridor
• TDM Strategies - fifteen TDM strategies recommended to reduce vehicle trips, provide a range of travel options, and raise awareness of transit services
