Plans and Studies Shaping your community vision for the future Orchestrating movement in communities with diverse needs Addressing both immediate and long-term needs often requires a multifaceted approach that combines short-term actions with overarching policies and goals. Plans encompass a range of strategies and considerations to address transportation needs effectively. Our expertise includes: Comprehensive Plan Multimodal Planning Regional transportation Plans Sub Area Plans Client Projects A few of our recent favorites Long Range Transportation Plan Update Herkimer-Oneida Counties Transportation Council (HOCTC) Transpo delivered the 2020-2040 Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) for HOCTC, the designated metropolitan planning organization for the Utica, NY region. The LRTP will guide federal investment in the region’s transportation network over the plan’s 20-year horizon. This was the first edition of HOCTC’ LRTP to be branded (Going Places) and professionally graphically designed. The Plan recognizes the importance of both maintaining state-of-good-repair on the existing network, the potential to support economic development activities, and the opportunities created by emerging transportation technologies. The LRTP received a commendation from FHWA, in recognition of its innovative planning practices tailored to a resource-constrained funding environment. Downtown Subarea Plan Update and EIS City of Marysville, WA Transpo prepared the transportation analysis to support this Master Plan and EIS project for the City of Marysville. Travel Context Classification were developed as a tool for identifying whether auto/transit, bikes, or pedestrians are the priority for each street, as well as supporting the additional proposed densities. Multimodal transportation improvements and programs were identified including addressing pedestrian needs and technology to improve traffic flows. Transportation Master Plan City of Yakima, WA Transpo Group worked with the City of Yakima on an update to the City’s Transportation Plan. The update included an inventory and analysis of multimodal transportation facilities to understand the impact of land use changes over the next 25 years. Transpo focused on strategies based on implementing complete streets elements with a layered network approach. A layered network approach endorses complete street principles but acknowledges that some corridors should prioritize specific modes to improve level and quality of service and safety. Improvement projects and programs will be defined to address traffic safety, non-motorized travel, and transit service based on level of service standards set by the overall goals of the Plan.

California Street Pedestrian and Bicycle Corridor Improvements City of Everett, WA Improving and developing active mode connections to downtown Everett for pedestrians and cyclists. About the Project Transpo developed five creative bike facility alternatives, and an analysis of the benefits and drawbacks of each for consideration by the public and the City through a public outreach program, including an online open house website to solicit public feedback on the alternatives. Alternatives considered included cycle tracks, buffered bike lanes and shared use paths, along with multiple routing options. Transpo provided final engineering design services, completing fully designed plans, specifications and cost estimates of the preferred alternative bike and pedestrian improvements. The final design includes a two-way cycle track, new back-in angled parking, full sidewalks, new RRFB protected crossings, curb extensions, a raised intersection, and planting strips with street trees to enhance the corridor. The design was completed in 2023 with construction to follow in the next few years dependent on grant funding and phasing with adjacent complimentary bike and pedestrian projects. Services Provided Bicycle facility alternatives development and analysis Public Outreach, online and in-person Bicycle and pedestrian facility final PS&E design Curb Ramp and ADA parking design RRFB crossing and raised intersection design Project Challenges Transpo and the City were challenged with identifying the best facility design to meet the overall project goal while balancing the perceived lack of existing on-street parking, public familiarity with bike facility types, City long-term maintenance concerns and traffic operations concerns. Transpo developed and evaluated a wide range of alternative sections and facility types, considering everything from shared roadways to full shared use paths and a variety of striped on-road bike facilities. Our team evaluated parking use analysis at peak demand times to understand the existing parking supply and demands, even during overnight and weekend activities. Public input was sought with an online portal of information and surveys, along with in-person outreach to the extent feasible in the challenging COVID-19 affected environment of 2021 and 2022. City staff from operations and maintenance, along with public works, communications and traffic were consulted during the evaluation of alternatives and feedback was incorporated into the final evaluation. Our alternatives analysis was thorough and transparent to ensure that the public understood how the selected alternative balanced the competing needs while still meeting the project goal. The alternatives process was documented in a final report, available for the public prior to any final design efforts on the preferred alternative. Challenges during the design phase of the process included steep slopes at tie-ins to private property, ADA access and parking challenges, existing grant-funded electric vehicle charging that needed to be protected in-place, and addressing the visibility and comfort of all modes at the various intersections along the project corridor. The final design, incorporating a raised crossing, a mix of curb types, parking types and curb ramps to preserve ADA access and EV chargers, and curb extensions and treatments at crossings to slow vehicle turning speeds while also slowing cyclists approaching intersections, met all the design challenges.
