I-95 Corridor Coalition
Fifth Mid-Atlantic Regional Planning RoundtablePhiladelphia, Pennsylvania
November 7, 2008
The I-95 Corridor Coalition:Transportation in the I-95 Corridor –
the Mid-Atlantic Segment
www.i95coalition.org
I-95 Corridor Coalition
• The Coalition:– An alliance of transportation agencies, toll authorities and related
organizations, working together to accelerate improvements in long-distance freight movement and passenger travel.
• The Region:– 40,000 National Highway System Miles– 22,000 miles of Class I rail mileage– 46 major seaports– 103 commercial airports
• The Economy:– $4.5 trillion economy (40% of US GDP)– 5.3 billion tons of freight shipments annually– 21% of nation’s road miles (35% of VMT)
www.i95coalition.org
The I-95 Region has: 3 Mega-Regions

Addressing Issues Within & Between Mega-Regions:
Developing a Long-Range Transportation Strategic Vision for the Corridor
Transportation Vision 2040: Supporting Economic Growth in a Carbon-Constrained Environment
www.i95coalition.org
Transportation Vision 2040
• Consequences of “Business as Usual”
• 2040 Vision Principles
• What Will It Take to Achieve the Vision?
• What Will It Cost?
www.i95coalition.org
Continuing a “Business as Usual” Approach to Transportation Will Lead to Dire Consequences
• Continuing existing trends in vehicle-miles-traveled (VMT) and in investment levels results in the following in 2040:– 70% increase in VMT– Dramatic increases in congestion levels
• 84% delay increase on urban Interstate• 49% all systems
– Doubling of freight carried on trucks– Loss of mode share by freight rail and marine shipping– 34% increase in fuel consumption and greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions (in spite of more stringent fuel efficiency standards)
Business as Usual

Many Major Highways Along the East Coast Will be Completely Clogged in Peak Periods
Business as Usual

Cost of Goods Will Increase with the Doubling of Truck Freight Movement Along Congested Highways

A Better Way: A Strategic Vision for Transportation in the Region in 2040
Significant Change Is Needed to Support Continuing Economic
Growth in a Carbon Constrained Environment
2040 Vision
www.i95coalition.org
“Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men’s blood.”
Daniel Burnham, 1893
2040 Vision
www.i95coalition.org
A Set of Consensus Policy Principles Guided Development of the Vision
• Support Continuing Economic Growth
• Support Sustainable Environmental and Energy Policies
• Support Sustainable Land Use Practices
• Provide a Balanced Multimodal Transportation System
2040 Vision

What Will It Take to Achieve the Vision?
• Increased Vehicle Fuel Efficiency• Increased Use of Alternative Fuels• Reduced Rate of VMT Growth• Greater use of Alternative Modes• Aggressive Transportation System
Management– Including Pricing and VII
• Additional Highway Capacity– Especially Managed Lanes
Achieving the Vision
www.i95coalition.org
A Multimodal Transportation System Enables Greater Use of Non-Highway Modes
• Transit ridership is tripled in concert with transit oriented development
• Passenger rail ridership increases 8-fold; reduces aviation and highway congestion
• Freight rail ton miles increase 20% • A marine highway network and reduces the
number of trucks on the region’s highways• Improved port access enhances intermodal
connectivity
Achieving the Vision
www.i95coalition.org
Additional Highway Capacity is Needed to Improved System Performance
• 15,000 additional interstate lane miles will be required throughout the region– Much of which will be managed lanes
• An array of highway system improvements will complement the additional capacity:– Major reconstruction of aging infrastructure– Bottleneck elimination
Achieving the Vision
www.i95coalition.org
A 60-80% Reduction in 2005 Greenhouse Gas Emission Levels Will Be Achieved
Achieving the Vision
www.i95coalition.org
More than Doubling of Investment in all Modes is Needed

Addressing Issues Within & Between Mega-Regions:
Developing a Plan to Address Rail Choke Points in the Mid-Atlantic Region
www.i95coalition.org
Mid-Atlantic Rail Operations Study, Phase I (MAROps I)
• Participants– CSX, NS, and Amtrak
– NJ, PA, DE, MD, and VA
– I-95 Corridor Coalition
– U.S. DOT/FHWA and FRA
• Process– Bottoms up look at the regional rail system
– Identified critical rail choke points; driven by railroad and state planning and rail operations experts
– Identified improvements needed from system perspective
– Developed strategic, phased program
www.i95coalition.org
MAROps I Program
Source: Cambridge Systematics, Mid-Atlantic Rail Operations Study.
The MAROps Study identified 71 major rail choke points
requiring $6.2 billion in improvements
over 20 years
www.i95coalition.org
Rail, Bridge, and Tunnel Choke Points
Identified chokepoints by
type and estimated cost
to mitigate
www.i95coalition.org
Near-Term, Five-Year Program, $2.4 Billion
Organized projects into three five-year programs based on
contribution to system performance,
lead time required, and cost
www.i95coalition.org
Mid-Atlantic Rail Operations Study, Phase II (MAROps II)
• Participants– Same plus New York State
• Process– Update condition and performance of rail and highway
networks (supply)– Examine commodity flows and supply chains (demand)– Update MAROps program– Estimate MAROps program benefits– Develop transferable institutional mechanisms for
implementing regional rail programs
