Population and Job Growth in Activity Centers

• The majority of new jobs and population are forecast to be in Regional Activity Centers. • Though the majority of the regional population will remain outside of Activity Centers in 2040,

population is forecast to increase at a faster rate inside Activity Centers over the next 25 years. • The majority of jobs today are located in Activity Centers, and this trend will continue in the

future.

• The region is forecast to be home to 24% more residents and 36% more jobs in 2040. To accommodate growth, 7% more lane miles of roadway and 14% more transit rail miles are planned to be constructed.

• The total number of trips taken is expected to increase by 23%, while transit, walk, and bike trips together are expected to increase at a faster rate than single driver trips.

• The overall amount of driving (VMT) is expected to grow by 22%. This is slightly less than forecast population growth, which means that VMT per capita is expected to drop by 2%.

• The increase in demand on the roadways is forecast to out-pace the increase in supply, leading to a significantincreaseincongestion.

2015 Performance Analysis Summary


Mode Choice: Growth in Trips by Mode (2015-2040)

Growth in carpooling, transit, walking, and bicycling is expected to out pace growth in single occupancy driver trips, for all trips and work trips alike.

WORKTRIPSALLTRIPS• Despite faster growth in carpooling, transit, walking, and bicycling trips, the relative shares of all trips that each mode makes up aren’t expected to change much by 2040.

• For all trips, the share of single driver trips is expected to decline in favor of walking and bicycling trips.

• For work trips, the share of single driver trips is expected to decline in favor of increases in the share of carpooling, transit, walking, and bicycling trips.

Work trips account for 22% of all trips taken but 40% of all vehicle miles traveled, and this trend is expected to continue through 2040.

• In the travel demand model used to analyze future trends under the 2015 CLRP, Metrorail trips through the core of the region were capped to 2020 levels. Therefore, in 2040 approximately 125,000 trips that would have been expected on Metrorail have been reassigned to buses and automobiles.

• If the transit constraint is removed, 35,000 of the automobile trips could be taken on Metrorail, which would increase transit mode share by 0.8%.

• Throughout all areas of the region, the share of single occupancy vehicle commute trips is expected to decline between now and 2040.

• For commuters living in the Regional Core, walking and biking are forecast to become more popular. • The greatest number of trips will continue to be made by those living in the region’s populous Inner Suburbs.

• In the Outer Suburbs, carpool and transit trips will increase due to the presence of new facilities and services.

All Trips By Regional Core, Inner Suburbs, and Outer Suburbs (2015-2040)



• The majority of all trips in the region will continue to be generated in the region’s populous Inner Suburbs. • Throughout all areas of the region, the share of single occupancy vehicle commute trips is expected to

decline and the share of walking and bicycling trips is expected to increase. • Compared to work trips, the share of carpool trips will continue to be substantially higher in all areas.• While the percentage of daily transit trips is forecast to double by 2040, this mode will still account for the

smallest number of trips in the outer suburbs.

VMT Per Capita

• The total amount of driving in the region, measured in vehicle-miles travel (VMT), is expected to grow over the next 25 years, but at a slightly lower rate than population. This means that the average amount of driving per person will be less in 2040 than it is today, which is consistent with the TPB Vision.

• Though the drop in VMT per capita is slight, it is noteworthy because it signals the reversal of a decades-long trend of ever-increasing per-capita driving in this region.

The average amount of driving per person will be less in 2040 than it is today.

• Although the number of lane-miles of roadway in the region that are congested during peak periods is expected to increase substantially between now and 2040, congested lanes make up a small portion of the roadways in the region.

• Congestion on this small portion of roadways will affect a greater share of vehicle-miles traveled (VMT) as more and more trips are added to these highly traveled routes.

Congestion will continue to be concentrated in a few key segments of our region’s roadways, but impact a greater share of travelers and trips.

• Congested lane miles will make up a relatively small proportion of the total lane miles in all areas of the region both today and in 2040.

• The total number of congested lane miles is forecast to go up in all 3 sub-areas with the greatest expected increase in the inner suburbs.

• The share of lane miles that are congested is also expected to increase in all sub-areas, but the highest rate of increase is expected in the outer suburbs.

Though congestion on many segments of the region’s major highway system is expected to get worse over this period of time, some segments of highway will see slight relief in congestion thanks to capacity expansions or changes in travel behavior.

Access to Jobs:Change in Access to Jobs by Automobile (2015-2040)

• Many areas, mainly on the eastern side of the region, will see declines in accessibility.

• These declines are the result of two important factors: one, anticipated increases in roadway congestion, which makeitmoredifficulttoreachotherparts of the region by car within 45 minutes, and, two, the fact that more of the new jobs anticipated between now and 2040 are forecast to be located on the western side of the region, more than 45 minutes from those living on the eastern side.

Significant declines in job accessibility by automobile are expected on the eastern side of the region.

Access to Jobs:Change in Access to Jobs by Transit(2015-2040)

• Most places with access to transit, will experience increases in the number of jobs that are accessible within a 45 minute commute.

• However, in 2040 transit will still not be a viable commute options for many people in the region due to lack of access to transit facilities and potentially long travel times.

• Total CO2e emissions under the 2015 CLRP are forecast to drop by 22% by 2040, while CO2e emissions per capita are expected to drop at an even greater rate of 44%.

• Asignificantamountofthegreenhousegasreductionsareduetonewtougherfederalfuelefficiencystandards. In addition changes in development patterns and investments in transit and other travel options will contribute to reductions.

• Currently no federal standards exist for greenhouse gas emissions. These emissions are not a required part of the transportation Air Quality Conformity Analysis.

Regional Transportation Priorities Assessment:

• The Regional Transportation Priorities Plan, adopted by the TPB in January 2014, identifiesstrategieswiththegreatestpotentialtoadvanceregionalgoalsrootedintheTPB Vision.

• The TPB has committed to using the Priorities Plan on a regular basis to assess the CLRP.

Priority 1: Meet Our Existing Obligations• The region’s commitment to

maintenance is solid: The CLRP demonstrates full funding for maintenance, operations, and state of good repair of the region’s highway and transit systems.

Priority 2: Strengthen Public Confidence and Ensure Fairness• Regional economic disparities

continue to affect transportation patterns:

• The TPB is seeking to improve public information and analysis.


• Individuals, on average, are expected to drive less in the future than they do today.

• Theregionhasunfinishedbusinesswhen it comes to maximizing use of existing transit systems.

• The region is effectively using its Activity Centers to focus growth, enhance non-motorized circulation, and improve regional connections

- DC bike lane projects

Priority 3: Move More People and Goods More Efficiently• The region is diversifying its public

transit systems by developing new, cost-efficientoptionslikeBRTandstreetcars.

- New BRT Projects in VA

• New tolling projects are managing demand while raising revenue.

- I-66 Projects

• Projects target bottleneck relief.

- The region’s commitment to maintenance is solid - Regional Disparities will continue to affect transportation patterns - Regional Agencies are planning projects that will provide new ways to move people and

goods more efficiently, but there is still work to be done to maximize use of the existing transit system.
