  • Regional Context
    August 2007 REGIONAL CONTEXT Regional Transportation System Defining Regional Context The purpose of this task was to identify and summarize community specific and regional needs within and adjacent to the influence area. The recent update to the Wichita area’s Long Range Transportation Plan was a starting point with its identification of development trends and potential future transportation projects as well as its information on commuting patterns and trends, freight flows and use of all modes of transportation. The needs may include access to recreation/natural areas, development potential, and travel efficiency. System continuity at both a regional and local level was reviewed, including limited opportunities for east-west travel crossing the Wichita Valley Center Floodway commonly referred to as the “Big Ditch”. The system needs will take into account the Kansas Department of Transportation’s (KDOT) existing and proposed roadway system, including the Northwest Bypass, potential transportation improvements to be defined through the on-going South Area Transportation Study as well as any improvements completed or proposed by City or County offices. Access to regionally significant land uses in the immediate vicinity were considered including Towne West Mall, Mid-Continent Airport, Dugan Business area and several aviation manufacturers. The MPO planning area, Sedgwick County, and the Wichita Metropolitan Statistical Area, each of which has a unique boundary, are referenced in the following sections of this report. WAMPO LRTP Goals and Objectives The 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) is guided by a set of goals, objectives and strategies that were recommended by the LRTP Advisory Committee and approved by the Wichita Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (WAMPO).
