The document provides incident responders with uniform operational guidelines to ensure safe operations on the following limited access highway in Camden and Gloucester Counties: NJ 42, NJ 55, I-676, I-76, and I-295. These guidelines were formulated based on input from representatives of the New Jersey Southern Area First Responders (NJ SAFR) Incident Management Task Force (IMTF), previously known……

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) commissioned the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) to construct a powerful computer model capable of simulating, visualizing, and assessing traffic conditions along the Schuylkill Expressway (I-76) to use as a practical research tool. The tool can be used to determine the effects of growth, predict outcomes of changes to……

This technical report compiles aircraft operations estimates from four non-towered airports located north and northwest of the Delaware Valley region. Eight acoustic samples were taken at each airport, starting in November 2010 and ending in September 2011. Each sample extended over the period of one week. The samples were extrapolated over the entire year. The survey results in general are used by……

This technical report compiles aircraft operations estimates for five non-towered airports in the Delaware Valley region. Eight acoustic counts were taken at each airport, starting in April 2010 and ending in March 2011; each sample extended over the period of one week. The samples were extrapolated over the entire year and the results are presented in this report. Results are used by multiple sources……

SEPTA is presently in the process of modernizing its fare collection system through the New Payment Technology project. This process offers an opportunity to evaluate the existing fare structure and current fare policies and make adjustments to take advantage of the added flexibility smart cards will offer. Many peer agencies altered fare policies, including transfer policies, when introducing new……

The Highlights for the DVRPC FY2013 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for Pennsylvania briefly describes the region’s TIP as a federally required, multi-modal, four year constrained program of planned transportation infrastructure investment.

This report details the safety review process of a 6.3-mile segment of CR 541 in Burlington County, New Jersey, undertaken by the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission. The review examines corridor-wide crash findings and cluster location findings from two analysis periods: 2005-2007, and 2008-2010. Data from the two periods is examined for changes over time, and compared to statewide averages……

This report presents the results of the first year’s analyses for the VISSIM Standards Project. Three VISSIM model calibration factors were quantified in the project’s first year; free-flow speed, signal throughput, and rolling stop speed. The results can be used to improve micro simulation modeling conducted by DVRPC staff and the region’s traffic engineers.

The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) document contains a listing of all transit, highway, bridge, bicycle, pedestrian, and multimodal projects in the Pennsylvania Subregion which will seek federal funding in fiscal years 2013 to 2016. This volume also contains the following five appendices: (a) Acknowledgement of Board Resolutions, (b) Financial and Procedural Guidance, (c) Acknowledgement……
