This report documents the undertakings, findings and recommendations of a multi-municipal transportation planning study to accommodate regional development and travel in Greater Phoenixville to the year 2025. The work was performed with the direct participation of member governments and regional transportation providers. Public involvement was conducted formally and informally. Transportation strategies and improvements were identified and evaluated to reduce congestion and promote travel options to single occupant vehicles. Improvement recommendations, emanating from the evaluations, support or augment those determined independently within the study area by: adopting multi-modal and area-wide perspectives; applying regional planning initiatives (PA Congestion Management Systems, Mobility Alternatives Programs, etc.), and; using regional evaluation procedures (the regional travel demand forecasting model).A total of 66 highway, transit, travel demand management and multi-use trail improvement recommendations are enumerated to directly solve current and future mobility problems in the study area. Five technical studies are also recommended to promote intermodal opportunities and to strengthen transportation-land use linkages within the study area. The recommendations are enveloped into a staged Mobility Improvement Plan (MIP) totaling $173.5 million. As a complement to the MIP, the report also contains a comprehensive discussion of management measures which should be practiced to help deliver and maintain mobility throughout the study area.
