METROPOLITAN PLANNING AREA


WHAT IS THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP)?

• Identifies regional transportation strategies and projects

• Long-range (20+ years)

• Fiscally constrained

• Formal document submitted to ODOT and USDOT every 4 years


WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

• Central Ohio is growing

• Demographics are changing

• Preferences are changing

• Demands on the transportation system are changing

• Transportation projects must be on MTP to be eligible for federal funding

Hyperloop

• A new mode of transportation

• Freight or passengers are loaded into a pod

• Pods are accelerated via electric propulsion in a low-pressure tube

• Pods float above the track using magnetic levitation and glide at high

speeds

• Capable of moving freight or passengers quickly and safely

• Travel speeds of 600+ miles per hour

• Feasible given:• Certification of the technology

• Assumed optimal main line speed of 500 mph avg.

• Branch lines with slower speeds (portal connectors)

• Potential for initial phases with less tunneling

• Existing and new right of way, some tunneling (for main line primarily)

HYPERLOOP STUDY KEY FINDINGS

• Once fully operational, over 30 years:• 1.9 billion autos shifted to hyperloop passengers

• 2.4 million tons of reduced CO2 emissions

• $19 billion direct transportation benefit

• Reduction of 450 million commercial truck vehicles hours traveled

• Public meetings

• VHO certification segment – R&D collaboration opportunity

• Create a travel demand advisory panel (public agencies, academic institutions, VHO)

• Monitor NETT Council activities and opportunities to engage in federal regulatory framework

• Advance regulatory framework with appropriate agencies

• Continue to facilitate collaboration

HYPERLOOP NEXT STEPS

• Public meetings

• Secure funding to complete the environmental studies necessary for the federal construction approval process

• Engage and secure the support of communities east of Columbus

• Develop a strategy with other surrounding states to secure regulatory guidance
