Plan Development
A systematic work program
has been designed to develop an effective and successful City of Georgetown Overall
Transportation Plan. The scope of work consists of four task areas
that address:
1. Project Administration;
2. Transportation Model;
3. Overall Transportation Plan; and,
4. Public Involvement Process;
TASK I - Project Administration
The management of project activities will ensure the efficient and timely
delivery of study results. Three objectives for the project management
program are Cost Control, Schedule Control, and Quality Control.
TASK II –
Transportation Model
The development of the Georgetown Modeling System will involve a detailed
data collection effort, compiling secondary data from various sources
supplemented with limited field reconnaissance. The system will be built
using a focused zone structuring technique beginning with the CAMPO regional
model as a base. Trip rates, trip length frequencies, mode split factors, and
other parameters will be calibrated for the Georgetown model. Several alternative
scenarios will be run for 2010 and 2025 and used for input into the Overall
Transportation Plan and as project selection criteria for the GTEC TIP
Process.
TASK III –
Overall Transportation Plan
The development
of the Overall Transportation Plan includes the development of construction
cost estimates, identification of mobility improvements, and evaluation of
social, economic, and environmental impacts. Alternative improvements will be
prioritized according to the short- and long-term objectives of the study and
the feasibility of project implementation. This task involves the preparation
of a Draft and Final Transportation Plan. All study activity will be
documented throughout the duration of the project so as to maintain accurate
and consistent records of all data collection and forecast activities and
alternative assessments and recommendations.
See the
2003-04 Transportation Improvement Program Project List and Map, approved by the Georgetown Transportation
Enhancement Corporation (GTEC) on August
6, 2003. These projects, along with today's existing roadways, are
being used as the 2010 Existing Plus Committed Network.
TASK IV –
Public Involvement Process
Several key areas
of communications with the public will be addressed by the team.
