7. Central New Jersey Transportation Forum Update
The Central New Jersey Transportation Forum provides a unique opportunity to bring together many regional organizations with a stake in the transportation systems of this area of Central New Jersey. The mission of the Forum is to develop a consensus for the appropriate planning strategies which will address the identified critical transportation and land use issues while maintaining consistency with the State Development and Redevelopment Plan.
8. PATCO Parking Needs Assessment Study
The purpose of this study is to project the parking needs of the PATCO system and identify and thoroughly understand the factors that influence these needs. A list of those factors would include population growth trends, employment growth projections, population aging, fare increase impacts, parking fee increase impacts, the influence of proposed mass transit improvements within the region, etc., now and for the foreseeable future.
9. External Trip Survey
This survey will determine the origin-destination travel patterns, travel activity, and travel mode of a sample of vehicles crossing the nine-county DVRPC cordon. The external and through trip travel patterns are especially critical for transportation facilities located near the region's nine-county boundary, as this is an area where in recent years major new development has occurred. The project will update travel characteristics that were last collected in 1988.
