East-West Mobility Study

About the Study

Automobile congestion is a major problem in our region. Major road and rail improvements under construction or planned for the near future have focused on north-south movements of people and goods. The FAMPO Intraregional Multimodal East-West Mobility Study will examine the east-west movement of people and goods in the FAMPO region. The study will reveal problem areas and provide possible solutions for reducing traffic congestion and increasing access to a variety of transportation modes.

The project will be divided into two phases.

Phase I will identify multimodal transit options, transportation demand management strategies, and related transportation improvements to improve intraregional east-west mobility. Bike and pedestrian links to transit will also be examined. 

Phase II will identify roadway, bike, and pedestrian changes that could improve east-west mobility. This phase will include detailed route alignment and right-of-way engineering for all modes, where applicable.
