8. Proposed Interchange Between Pennsylvania Turnpike and I-95
DVRPC has completed traffic volume forecasts for the proposed interchange between the Pennsylvania Turnpike and I-95, an important project in the Delaware Valley Region. This effort updated previously published work and includes some new assumptions - such as the inclusion of Electronic Toll Collection (E.T.C.). In addition, this work included data provided to the Pennsylvania Economy League for their work in determining the economic impact of the interchange.
9. Region-wide Transportation Geographic Information System (GIS)
DVRPC is currently initiating the Region-Wide Transportation GIS Project which is funded through the Transportation Improvement Program. This effort is designed to create a uniform transportation GIS file architecture for the region and to implement that design. DVRPC member governments will be funded to participate in the process. A Request For Proposal (RFP) is being developed to initiate that effort.
