The Total Mobility Plan

The CORE MPO Total Mobility Plan will expand upon the goals and policy framework established by the Framework Mobility Plan, adopted in September 2009, to address the full spectrum of transportation options and address the growing concerns of livability and sustainability in our community.  A key feature of the Total Mobility Plan will be the incorporation of detailed plans for corridors and subareas.  These detailed plans will complete the Transportation Amenities planning process begun in 2003 by providing specific concepts for planned road projects which address context sensitive design and complete streets principles in concert with adjacent land uses.  In addition to corridor and area plans, the Total Mobility Plan will incorporate the recommendations of a number of key planning studies currently underway including:  Transit Mobility Vision Plan, Streetcar Plan, Non-Motorized Transportation Plan, Detailed Plans for Corridors or Areas, Climate Change Assessment, I-16 Flyover Removal Study.  Learn more about these elements below.

How to get involved in the Total Mobility Plan

The first round of public workshops for the Total Mobility Plan were held in January of 2011. Participants helped develop the Plan's vision and growth principles.

Now, in January of 2012, a second round of public workshops will focus on planning and design of thoroughfares. Attendees will map context areas, around which thoroughfare standards will be developed, to address multiple modes of transportation. These meetings will be held at various locations throughout Chatham County in an effort to obtain as much input as possible. If you or someone you know is interested in the future of transportation in our community, please make an effort to attend one of the workshops.

Your input and participation is critical to the development of the plan, so please mark your calendars!
