How do we get to Service, Facility and TDM
Recommendations?
I-95 Transit & TDM Plan
1. Define “Universe” of Reasonable Service and Facility Improvements Prior I-95/I-395 Study Recommendations Recently Completed TDP’s Discussions with Stakeholders Project Team Observations
2. Define “Districts” and Categorize Potential Improvements by District
3. Determine Potential Capital and O&M Costs for Improvements
Proposed Methodology
