Spatial Scenarios Urban core repopulates
• People go to urbanized areas to live and work, net population unchanged• Public transportation increases, clean transportation
Sprawl accelerates• Private automobile become main mode, vehicle miles traveled increases• Land consumption, energy usage increase, resource depletion
Information technology amenities grow• More workers telecommute so sprawl continues• Flexible work hours result in justifying transit service to certain areas
Region undivided• Shift job and household growth from west to east
Transit oriented development• More people live and work closer to transit

Economical Scenarios Regional economy strengthens
• Many workers move to region, sprawl continues
Global trade intensifies• Population decreases, increased use of automobiles
Energy cost rises• People relocate to more transit-oriented locations• Decreased use of automobile, air quality increases
Infrastructure investment expands• May draw people to area in the long run

Other Scenarios “Green” region emphasized
• Use of public transit, bike, etc.
Crisis of national significance occurs/ homeland security tightened• Sprawl accelerates, shun public transportation• Airlines suffer, intermodal connection not emphasized
Carbon constrained future Energy constrained future
• Global price shocks and shortagesSources: www.dvrpc.org/LongRangePlan/2030/WhatIfFinal.pdf

Methodologies for Scenario Development
Royal Dutch Shell Approach Decide drivers for change/assumptions through
brainstorming Bring drivers together into a viable framework
• Recognize relation among factors and group scenarios Produce initial (7-9) mini scenarios Reduce to 2-3 scenarios
• Complementary to avoid having to pick a preferred one• Test – is it logical and intuitive?
Draft qualitative scenarios Identify the issues arising
• What will have greatest impact, potential for crisis

Suggested Policies Set of policies presented by Vtrans2025 Presented in phase 3 final report to
General Assembly Focuses on four policy areas
• Funding/Investment• Land use• Connectivity• Priority Setting
![Page 19: 1 Prioritizing Long Term Multimodal Transportation Policies for Virginia Megan Kersh Asad Saqib Matthew Schroeder Ward Williams](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2b5503460f94a01423/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
20
Funding/Investment
Invest More in Transportation• User fees and taxes must be increased, new sources of funding,
such as indexing fuel taxes to inflation, and greater use of tolling and General Funds must be considered in order to address investment needs and increase system capacity.
Support Transit Remove Bias
• The state should not bias the local choice of transit versus roadways by the way in which it funds the modes
Fund Rail Protect Transportation Trust Fund Revenues
![Page 20: 1 Prioritizing Long Term Multimodal Transportation Policies for Virginia Megan Kersh Asad Saqib Matthew Schroeder Ward Williams](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2b5503460f94a01423/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
21
Land Use Strengthen Planning Including Modeling Land
Use Impacts• Strengthen local and regional planning and enhance
the role of the state as a reliable and active partner in those planning efforts.
Manage Access• Implement access management policies that ensure
greater compatibility of land use and transportation priorities
Consider State Versus Local Roles Address the Transportation/Land Use Conflict
![Page 21: 1 Prioritizing Long Term Multimodal Transportation Policies for Virginia Megan Kersh Asad Saqib Matthew Schroeder Ward Williams](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2b5503460f94a01423/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
22
Connectivity Improve Connections Think Multimodally
• Transit, pedestrian, bike and rail-friendly design features included in new construction
Take the Lead• Virginia must lead in connectivity of interstate
corridors
Invest in Technology• Maximize the efficiency of the existing transportation
system through developing technology
![Page 22: 1 Prioritizing Long Term Multimodal Transportation Policies for Virginia Megan Kersh Asad Saqib Matthew Schroeder Ward Williams](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2b5503460f94a01423/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
23
Priority Setting Use Objective Criteria
• Establish objective criteria for all modes in order to measure success of projects and predict success of investments
Plan Multimodally• Continue development of the Multimodal
Investment Network (MIN) approach as a framework for planning and prioritizing multimodal projects at the state level

Other Research
FHWA future scenario planning policy Washington State case study Futuristic transportation policies Research on other case studies that
involve future scenarios and policies

Overview of FHWA Future Scenario Planning Methodology
Step 1: Research the driving forces• Define the major sources of change that impact the future
Step 2: Determine patterns of interaction• How driving forces could combine to determine future conditions
Step 3: Create scenarios• Think about implications that different situations could bring about• Create basic stories based upon the interaction of drivers
Step 4: Analyze implications• Try to make graphic visualizations of the scenarios
Step 5: Evaluate scenarios• Present to stakeholders and public graphically if possible• Formulate reasoned responses to respond to change
Step 6: Monitor indicators• Scenario planning is an on-going process for a region

Transportation improvement between two cities
Evaluating 3 alternatives using: Net Present Value Internal Rate of Return Cost/Benefit Ratio Opportunity Cost Timing

Three Alternatives
Alternative 1 – The Build Alternative. This scenario is to construct a 6 mile limited access highway to connect roads.
Alternative 2 – Widening of road. This scenario would involve the addition of another general purpose traffic lane.
Alternative 3 – Transit Enhancement. This scenario would involve the building of a light rail system This would be the first direct east-west transit link between the two cities.
