This project will improve the efficiency of the region's transportation network by preparing special sub-regional studies to supplement core planning efforts.
Through the Supportive Regional Highway Planning Program (SRHPP)and Transit Support Program (TSP), DVRPC passes through federal funds to member governments to support their core planning functions and their participation in the regional transportation planning process. The funds assist these organizations to develop and maintain their own plans, programs and data which helps inform the development of regional plans and programs such as the TIP, Long-Range Plan, and Congestion Management Process. In addition to providing direct support, both programs offer a limited amount of funding for special planning studies to address current areas of need for the recipients. In some cases, the recipients pass back the Special Study funding and request that the studies be conducted by DVRPC staff because of some specific expertise or staff capacity. Detailed individual scopes of work for each Special Study are found in Chapters Three and Four of this document. This project represents the tasks and combined budgets of those Special Studies.
