The Master Highway Plan consisted of a map depicting what would for today be considered an aggressive plan for new highways throughout the County. As has been the case in jurisdictions throughout the metropolitan area, subsequent updates of the highway plan have resulted in many of the proposed highways being deleted for a variety of reasons including environmental impacts and property impacts among others. Beginning in 1984 the County established a land use planning process based on planning regions that provided the basis for the detailed land use plans and highway plans. This regional approach has diminished somewhat the countywide perspective for transportation planning particularly with regards to the highway plans. Purpose of the Plan An obvious and perhaps the primary purpose of the this plan is to provide for a countywide focus for transportation planning. Aside from the countywide focus of the plan are a number of other goals that this plan will address. • Compile into one document the goals, objectives, policies, and projects of individual transportation plans, reports, and studies. • Improve the implementation of multi-modal planning in the County and ensure coordination efforts with county and state agencies. • Provide guidance to County officials with regards to transportation policy, funding decisions, and strategic planning efforts. • Identify a comprehensive list of short-term and long-term transportation projects. • Establish a basis for identification and analysis of additional transportation needs including the prioritization of projects in the short-term programs. • Address the transportation needs of the public and businesses. Frederick County Master Transportation Plan 3 Context with County Plans and Programs The Countywide Comprehensive Plan, last adopted in 1998, has provided for the general guidance regarding the various transportation elements including highways, transit, and bikeways. The Countywide Plan identifies a number of policies for the highway and non- highway transportation systems that are implemented through the regional plans and through plans and studies specifically addressing transportation needs. Existing policy and goal statements from current plans and studies are included in this plan as well. This Plan will supplement the current Countywide Comprehensive Plan and will provide a countywide context for the regional plans as well as for plans and studies addressing other transportation modes such as transit and bikeways. In 2000 the County initiated a strategic planning process that has identified specific goals and objectives related to long range financial planning, providing adequate funding for the County’s infrastructure needs, and assuring orderly growth. Update Process The Plan update process will be divided into an annual review for the short-term projects/priorities and a five-year update cycle that will address the long-term projects and the overall policy direction. Annual Transportation Priorities Review • Review would identify priorities that would be addressed in upcoming CIP preparations for highway, transit, bikeway/pedestrian facilities, and the airport. • The following groups would be part of the review process: County Planning Commission, Roads Board, Transportation Services Advisory Council, Frederick COG, State Delegation and the Board of Commissioners. Public input would be allowed via the individual meetings of these boards and commissions. • Identify revisions to the short-term projects based on current CIP programs from the County and the State. • Assess implementation of the action recommendations. Master Transportation Plan Update • Update would focus on the general policy direction and revisions to the long-term projects. The update would occur either as part of the Countywide Comprehensive Plan update that occurs every 7-8 years, or on a five-year update cycle on its own. • Assess implementation of the actions recommendations and identify new or revised recommendations. • Conduct countywide traffic modeling/travel forecasting study. Alternatively, this could be conducted as part of the individual region plan updates. Multi-Modal Approach to Transportation Planning An important purpose of this plan is the consideration of all modes of transportation in addressing the mobility needs of the County. This is a significant departure from the early Frederick County Master Transportation Plan 4 County plans that focused solely on highways. While this plan recognizes that automobiles will remain as the most prevalent means of transportation it also emphasizes the need to provide for a more balanced transportation system. This becomes more apparent when one looks at the proportion of the population that cannot make use of an automobile due to: age, too young and the elderly; having a physical or mental disability; or not being able to afford an automobile. Based on the 1990 Census approximately 35-40 % of the County’s population fit into one of these categories. For 2000 we would expect this proportion to be higher based on increases in the minimum driving age and continued increase in the elderly population. The focus of a balanced, multi-modal transportation system needs to be on providing mobility for people and not just automobiles. In many communities that have focused primarily on building additional road capacity this can be a significant departure in the mindset for addressing the increasing level of congestion. Many people, including planners, elected officials, and the public will agree that we will not be able to build enough road capacity to ever provide a significant relief to congestion. In many areas, and Maryland fits this category as well, the increase in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) is far outpacing the rate of population growth and the ability of communities to increase road capacity. In Frederick County VMT on all roads, state and county, has increased by 145% since 1980 while the County’s population has increased by 70%. The difference is even more dramatic when travel only on County maintained roads is considered. The VMT on the County maintained road system increased by 214% since 1980, over 3 times the rate of population growth in the same period. This situation requires communities to improve transportation choices such as transit and bicycle facilities in an effort to address the shortfall in road capacity. To provide a balanced transportation system, that meets the needs of the transportation disadvantaged and others that are able to use an automobile, will require the County to focus on two basic approaches to transportation or mobility planning: travel demand management and support of alternative transportation modes. Travel Demand Management (TDM) Travel Demand Management (TDM) takes the approach that rather than continually looking to expand road capacity in an attempt to meet the travel demand, that strategies be implemented to reduce the demand for automobile use in the first place. It is important to note, however, that while the focus for TDM strategies have been on the typical work trip during the morning and evening peak hours, many communities are finding that non-work trips related to shopping, running errands etc. during the mid-day and on weekends represents a greater proportion of the total traffic. Some of the TDM strategies used by communities are listed below and are almost exclusively oriented to work related trips. • Employer sponsored carpool and vanpool matching • Stagger work schedules and flextime • Telecommuting • Subsidize transit fares • Provide bicycle racks and shower facilities for bicyclists • Provide preferential parking for
