The goals and objectives a Long-Range Transportation Plan (Plan) establish a vision of what the region’s transportation network may be, based on past or current transportation issues, in a selected horizon year, typically 20-25 years into the future. Strategies on how to implement the objectives are then developed to direct transportation management policies and actions needed to achieve the goals. These strategies reflect a course of action that is realistic and regionally acceptable. BHJ MISSION As the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Weirton-Steubenville, WV-OH Urbanized Area, BHJ’s mission is: • To develop plans that address and identify funding, the actions and policies needed to maintain a safe, secure, and environmentally friendly intermodal transportation system that provides the three- county region with a foundation to compete in a global economy; and • To provide a continual, comprehensive, and coordinated 3-C transportation planning process that considers air, highway, rail, and water intermodal transportation. The “continual” process is grouped into three stages of planning: • Annual or routine reviews of the Plan • Update the Plan every four years • Major Review of the Plan in conjunction with the decennial census The “comprehensive” process includes: • A minimum of a twenty-year planning horizon • The metropolitan planning factors issued in the latest five-year federal transportation legislation Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act • A long-range and short-range planning element • An intermodal planning element • A financial plan that is fiscally constraint The “coordinated” process takes into account the following: • An open planning process that engages transportation decision makers and stakeholders consisting of elected officials, public interest groups, private industry, and state and federal highway officials. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ BHJ 2045 Transportation Plan – Goals & Objectives P a g e | 1 April 2020 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The Regional Long-Range Transportation Plan is centered upon the six regionally significant policy statements and strategies listed below by rank of importance: Listed below, by rank of importance, are five (5) strategies and policy statements taken from a Public Opinion Survey, that will guide the development of BHJ’s 2045 Regional Long-Range Transportation Plan. 1. Design an efficient Mobility Management Program with cooperation with the local public transportation providers and other human service transportation providers that are involved in elderly, people with disability and employment related transportation. Encourage expanded and improved public transportation services, and app-based ride systems such as Uber and Lyft in the community. Increase Ride

    UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY REGION III STATEMENT OF BASIS WHEELING PITTSBURGH STEEL CORPORATION Brooke Sr. Center Parcel Follansbee, West Virginia WVD004319539 I. Introduction The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has prepared this Statement of Basis (SB) to solicit public comment on its proposed remedy for a 2-acre parcel (Parcel) located within the former RG Steel-Wheeling facility (Facility), north of the city of Follansbee in Brooke County on West Virginia Route 2, Wheeling, West Virginia. EPA's review of available information indicates that there are no unaddressed releases of hazardous waste or hazardous constituents at the Parcel. Based on the review and the additional information discussed below, EPA's proposed remedy is that no further action is required at the Parcel. This SB highlights key information relied upon by EPA in making its proposed remedy. The Facility is subject to EPA's Corrective Action Program under the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976, and the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) of 1984, 42 U.S.C. §§ 6901 et seq. (Corrective Action Program). The Corrective Action Program is designed to ensure that any releases or hazardous waste and/or hazardous constituents identified at certain facilities subject to RCRA have investigated and remediated. · The Administrative Record (AR) for the Facility contains all documents, including data and quality assurance information, on which EPA's proposed remedy for the Parcel is based. See Section IV, Public Participation, for information on how you may review the AR. II.

  • Economic Conditions
    Final Report Economic Conditions Over the last thirty years, the BHJ region has been passing through a significant era of change due to national economic trends. For many years, this area has been included as an important part of the nation’s industrial heartland. Coal mining, electric power generation, various types of manufacturing, including steel making, formed the core of the area’s economy. Throughout the United States, all of these industries have been experiencing great change. Coal mining declined in northern West Virginia, eastern Ohio, and western Pennsylvania as coalfields were depleted and clean air regulations reduced the market for the high sulfur content coal in the area. Steel making and other types of manufacturing have increasingly faced stiff competition from overseas and have been forced to reduce labor costs to compete in the world market. Power generation, which also had been based on the supply of locally mined coal, has also suffered from changed circumstances due to the passage of clean air legislation. Consequently, the economic core of the region has eroded over time. Employers, in an effort to remain competitive, have tended to replace labor force with technological improvements designed to increase productivity. Nevertheless, the manufacturing sector remains the heart of the economic base of the BHJ region. Figure 3 shows the generalized distribution of existing major manufacturing employment in the Study Area. While employment is lower than it once was, these jobs tend to pay high wages and remain a very important piece of the regional economy. Currently, the manufacturing base of the BHJ region is concentrated in the Ohio River Valley in a linear pattern extending south from the Weirton-Steubenville area.
