    City of Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan – It’s Our Future: A Choice City May 17, 2016 2.1 – MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN ISSUES CONFRONTING OUR TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM… TODAY • Land use largely accommodates automobile-oriented corridors • Suburban land use design for majority of developed City • Transportation infrastructure investment supporting suburban roadway system • Increasing travel times • Many older narrow roadways, particularly in the rural area of the City IN THE FUTURE • Improve and sustain the City’s existing suburban and rural roadway network • Facilitate strategic growth within the City’s Strategic Growth Areas, including Transit- Oriented Development, will need to be supported by a multi-modal transportation system • New or renovated roadway projects to follow a Complete Streets approach • Emphasis on regional coordination to fund and implement transportation mega-projects • Maximize Transportation Demand Management to complement transportation infrastructure investments as another tool to reduce traffic congestion The following topics in relation to goals, policies, and action strategies are all equally important in the development of the City’s transportation network and this Master Transportation Plan. The framework for the Master Transportation Plan is: • Citywide Transportation Policies/Complete Streets • Roadways • Transit • Active Transportation • Other Regional Scale Transportation Planning • Transportation Demand Management • Intelligent Transportation Systems INTRODUCTION The City of Virginia Beach Master Transportation Plan (MTP) envisions the future of a multi-modal local and regional transportation network. The City of Virginia Beach has the largest population of any city in the Commonwealth and projections indicate our city will continue to grow. In the next ten years, changing demographics, technology, and environmental changes will have major impacts driving transportation choices and strategies.

  • Affected Environment and Environmental Consequences
    Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement Chapter 3: Affected Environment & Environmental Consequences 3.15 INDIRECT AND CUMULATIVE IMPACTS 3.15.1 Regulatory Context and Methodology NEPA legislation does not mention indirect or cumulative impacts; however, the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations for implementing NEPA address federal agency responsibilities applicable to indirect and cumulative considerations, analysis, and documentation requirements (40 CFR 1508.25) for the environmental consequences section of an EIS (40 CFR 1502.16) (FHWA, 2014). In addition to CEQ’s regulations, indirect and cumulative effects assessment is conducted in accordance with the requirements and processes outlined in 23 CFR Part 771, FHWA Interim Guidance: Indirect and Cumulative Impacts in NEPA (2003), FHWA Position Paper on Secondary and Cumulative Impact Assessment (1992), FHWA’s Questions and Answers on Considering Indirect and Cumulative Impacts in the NEPA Process (2015), the Transportation Research Board’s (TRB) National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 466: Desk Reference for Estimating the Indirect Effect of Proposed Transportation Projects (TRB, 2002), NCHRP Project 25-25 Task 22: Land Use Forecasting for Indirect Impacts Analysis (TRB, 2005), NCHRP Project 25-25 Task 11: Secondary/Indirect and Cumulative Effects Analysis (TRB, 2006), as well as CEQ’s Considering Cumulative Effects under the National Environmental Policy Act (1997) and Guidance on the Consideration of Past Actions in Cumulative Effects Analysis (2005). CEQ defines indirect effects as “…effects which are caused by the action and are later in time or farther removed in distance, but are still reasonably foreseeable (40 CFR 1508.8[b]). Indirect effects may include growth-inducing effects and other effects related to induced changes in the pattern of land use, population density or growth rate, and related effects on air and water and other natural systems, including ecosystems” (40 CFR 1508.8[b]).

  • Special Report #7: All Aboard! Rail Travel in Hampton Roads
    Special Report #07 Molly Ward, Chair • Alan Krasnoff, Vice-Chair • Dwight Farmer, Exec. Director/Sec. August 20, 2012 Special Report: All Aboard! Rail Travel in Hampton Roads By Keith Nichols, PE, Senior Transportation Engineer Rail travel is becoming more prominent in Hampton Roads with the introduction of light rail service, up- coming Amtrak service to the Southside, and ongoing studies regarding improved passenger rail service both into and throughout the region. One year ago, Hampton Roads Transit (HRT) began light rail service in the city of Norfolk. This light rail system, referred to as The Tide, serves a 7.4 mile corridor be- tween the Medical Center Complex through Downtown Norfolk to Newtown Road at the Virginia Beach city line. Nearly 1.7 million passengers have used The Tide as of the end of July 2012. This averages to 4,818 daily pas- sengers, or 5,228 passengers each weekday, much high- er than the 2,900 passengers HRT estimated would use The Tide each weekday. HRT Tide Intercity passenger rail service is provided to Hampton Roads by Amtrak at stations in Newport News and Williamsburg. There were a total of 175,500 passengers who boarded or departed Amtrak trains in Hampton Roads in 2011, with 122,400 passengers at the Newport News station and 53,100 passengers at the Williamsburg station. The number of Amtrak passengers boarding or departing trains in Hampton Roads increased 17% be- tween 2002 and 2011, but has increased 36% since the lows seen in the middle of the 2000s. This number of pas- sengers is likely to increase when direct Amtrak service to the Southside begins in December 2012.
