The Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Council of Governments’ (BCDCOG) existing Mobility Management Program (MM) is a strategic approach to managing transportation resources. Because the BCDCOG MM program serves as a centralized system for transportation options and coordinates requests for transportation services, the BCDCOG staff is positioned to provide residents, commuters, and employers of both the I-26 and the I-526 corridor with a menu of transportation services and coordination options. Specifically, the MM program directs BCDCOG and consultant resources to implement the recommended Transportation Demand Management strategies for employees and employers in the I-26/I-526 corridor through education, promotion and marketing projects and programs that focus on the following: Moving people instead of moving vehicles Identifying the travel needs of individual consumers Assisting with the entire trip, not just that a portion of the trip on one mode or another Promoting vanpool, carpool and rideshare matching initiatives Emphasizing opportunities to expand traditional business practices to include programs such as flex time, telecommuting, compressed work week, and staggered work hours Promoting transit oriented developments II.

  • Final EIS Chapter
    CHAPTER 3 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT Summer Flounder The recreational and commercially important summer flounder are managed under the Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Fishery Management Plan directed by the MAFMC (NMFS 2008). The summer flounder ranges from the shallow estuarine and outer continental shelf waters from Nova Scotia to Florida to the northern Gulf of Mexico (NEFSC 1999). Summer flounder exhibit seasonal inshore/offshore migration patterns from late spring through early fall in estuaries and sounds, and migrate offshore on the outer continental shelf during the winter (NEFSC 1999; ASMFC 2014b). The adults primarily inhabit sandy substrates but can also be found in seagrass beds, marsh creeks, and sand flats. They are quick predators, ambushing their prey and making full use of their camouflage and bottom positioning for efficient predation on small fish and squid. Crustaceans make up a large percentage of their diet (ASMFC 2014b; NEFSC 1999). The EFH habitats within the study area support the larval, juvenile, and adult developmental life stages of the summer flounder (NMFS 2008; ASMFC 2014b). 3.8 TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION This section describes the infrastructure of the existing transportation system within the Transpor- tation Study Area (TSA). The section is broken down into the following sections: Roadways, Railroad, Port of Charleston, Pedestrian and Bicycle, and Transit. The TSA, as shown in Figure 3.8-1, covers a greater area than the general study area due to the need to analyze the impacts to the surrounding transportation network as a result of the Navy Base ICTF, two existing rail-truck intermodal facilities (CSX’s Bennet Yard and NS’s 7-Mile Yard), and three Port facilities that handle containerized cargo (Future HLT, Wando Welch, and North Charleston port facilities).

  • South Carolina Hurricane Evacuation Operations
    Best Practices for Road Weather Management South Carolina Hurricane Evacuation Operations In September 1999 roughly three million people were evacuated from coastal areas in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina prior to landfall of Hurricane Floyd. Over 500,000 South Carolinians evacuated from six coastal counties. Because managers with the South Carolina Department of Transportation (DOT) and the South Carolina Department of Public Safety had not agreed on a lane reversal plan prior to Hurricane Floyd, contraflow (i.e., lane reversal) was not employed during the evacuation. Consequently, there was severe congestion on Interstate 26 between Charleston and Columbia. Traffic and emergency managers quickly developed a contraflow plan for reentry operations after the hurricane. System Components: Managers utilized storm track, wind speed, and precipitation forecast data in combination with population density and topographic information to identify areas threatened by storm surge and inland flooding. Emergency managers consulted various information sources including the National Weather Service, the National Hurricane Center, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, as well as decision support applications such as HURREVAC (www.hurrevac.com) and HurrTrak (www.weathergraphics.com/ht/). Traffic managers monitored traffic flow with two permanent vehicle detection sites along the highway and portable detection equipment on other road facilities. During reentry operations, portable Dynamic Message Signs (DMS) and Highway Advisory Radio (HAR) transmitters were positioned along the interstate to alert drivers of contraflow operations. System Operations: DOT managers worked closely with Highway Patrol personnel during evacuation and reentry operations. Traffic and emergency managers also coordinated with other local, state, and federal agencies. Before traffic flow on westbound lanes could be reversed for reentry (i.e., contraflowed from Columbia to Charleston), DOT and DPS personnel were mobilized and equipment was prepositioned.
