The plan was initially developed in 2007 and updated in 2020. This plan fulfills the requirements of the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, signed into law as a reauthorization of surface transportation programs through Fiscal Year 2020. According to requirements of the FAST Act, locally developed coordinated public transit-human services transportation plans must be updated to reflect the changes established by the FAST Act legislation. The FAST Act applies new programs and rules for all Fiscal Year 2016 funds and authorizes transit programs for five (5) years. Transportation is a critical component of the communities in Licking County. Transportation provides access to jobs, education, health care, human services and allows all community members, including older adults and people with disabilities, to live independently and engage in community life. It is the purpose of this plan for local stakeholders to work collaboratively to do the following activities: 1. Identify all community resources including: • Current primary and secondary transportation providers • Primary stakeholders/decision makers involved in transportation systems, including human services personnel • Available transportation equipment, including wheelchair accessible vehicles • Available transportation training programs • Transportation related technology in use • Current transportation expenses, revenues and funding sources • Served and underserved populations • Demographic and geographic characteristics of service area population 2. Identify and prioritize community transportation needs: 2 Local stakeholders can provide a greater understanding of a transit system’s needs, strengths, and opportunities for improvement. Table 1 provides a list of the stakeholders that have been consulted as part of the planning process to date. Input gathered from stakeholder meetings has and will continue to inform development of the Themes, Issues, and Opportunities identified in the Coordinated Plan (CP).

The purpose of both meetings was to introduce the project and gather an initial round of feedback. Approximately 50 people attended the meeting in Newark and approximately 10 people attended the meeting in Pataskala. Appendix D includes summaries of these meetings along with survey and interview questions and results. A set of major themes were drawn from the following sources early in the planning process: 3 • Community Survey • On-board Survey • Public Meetings (verbal and written comments) • Stakeholder Interviews • Driver/Staff

  • The Transportation System
    2020 – 2050 COLUMBUS AREA METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN CHAPTER 3: THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM The transportation system’s role is to accommodate the travel needs of the region. The entire transportation system, however, is made up of several components or sub-systems that should be seamlessly connected to provide fluid movement across the system. These include roadways, transit, bikeways, pedestrian facilities, and the unique intermodal facilities that interface these surface modes with ground and air freight. These components each serve their own particular and equally important role in providing for mobility for all persons throughout the region. This chapter describes these individual systems and intermodal connections that make up the entire surface transportation system. Page 3-1 2020 – 2050 COLUMBUS AREA METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN 3.a ROADWAY SYSTEM The roadway system is the primary component of the transportation system in central Ohio. Nearly all of the transportation systems described later in this chapter require access to the roadway system in order to function. To accommodate growth in travel, the capacity of the roadway system continues to expand through the widening of existing roads and the construction of new roads. Other physical improvements improve safety and access along existing roadways and intersections. For the purposes of the MTP, MORPC focuses on roads classified as “collectors” or higher. As of 2020, this includes 5,650 lane miles of roadways in the MPO planning area. This “lane mile” figure includes the length of each roadway (in miles), multiplied by the number of lanes in each roadway. That is, a mile of road with four lanes contributes four lane miles in the calculation.
