Analytical support for the statewide multimodal long-range transportation plan

The goal of this effort is to develop methodology to aid the VTrans2025 steering committee in selecting and prioritizing multimodal transportation systems. The comparison tool allows decision makers to compare proposed multimodal projects using both quantitative and qualitative measures. Through case studies of each mode of transportation, aviation, port, public transit, and rail, the capabilities of the comparison tool are demonstrated. The comparison tool displays the motivations of the projects along with the cost and performance metrics specific to each mode. Officials in the multimodal steering committee and the various transportation agencies can use the information from the comparison tool when aggregating projects into multimodal systems.
