Abstract

The goal of this effort is to aid the VTrans2025 Technical Committee in coordinating and prioritizing multimodal transportation projects. This project delineated the process through which a multimodal transportation project is developed and implemented for the Commonwealth of Virginia. Specifically, the project also developed and tested the application process for multimodal transportation projects. That application process includes developing various forms of reports, scoring the project based on criteria developed from the goals of VTrans2025, ranking multiple projects based on various sets of weights given to the criteria, and finally prioritizing the implementation and funding of those projects. Finally, a Web-based interface is developed to help manage the entire multimodal project development and prioritization process. State officials working with VTrans2025 use these prototypes, in finalized forms, to aid them in the development and prioritization of multimodal transportation projects in the future
