Transportation Terms Used in Comprehensive Plan Documents

The following transportation-related terms are commonly used in the Transportation Chapter: Access Management: The systematic control of the location, spacing, design, and operation of entrances, median openings/crossovers, traffic signals, and interchanges for the purpose of providing vehicular access to land development in a manner that preserves the safety and efficiency of the transportation system. Arterial: A major highway intended to serve through traffic where access is carefully controlled, generally highways of regional importance, intended to serve moderate to high volumes of traffic traveling relatively long distances and at higher speeds. A Principal Arterials are major highways intended to serve through traffic where access is carefully controlled, generally highways of regional importance, with moderate to high volumes of traffic traveling relatively long distances and at higher speeds. Minor Arterials are highways that interconnect with and augment the principal arterial system. Minor arterials distribute traffic to smaller geographic areas providing service between and within communities. Collector: The functional classification of a highway that provides land access service and traffic circulation within residential, commercial, and industrial areas. The collector system distributes trips from principal and minor arterials through the area to the ultimate destination. Conversely, collectors also collect traffic from local streets in residential neighborhoods and channel it into the arterial system. Collectors can be major or minor. Commonwealth Transportation Board CTB): Virginia’s Secretary of Transportation works with the Governor to develop an overall transportation budget and to identify strategies for generating and managing transportation funds. The CTB, oversees the development of the State’s long-range transportation plan, VTrans2035 and uses it as a policy guide for statewide transportation planning and decision-making. The CTB’s key decision-making responsibility is to allocate (or “program”) available funds to transportation projects across the Commonwealth, chiefly through the annually updated Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (SYIP). Complete street: A complete street is one that is designed and operated in manner that enables safe access for all users, creating multimodal transportation networks. Complete streets make it easier to cross the street, walk to shops, and bicycle to work. Roads in the Development Areas are expected to be “complete streets” that can accommodate and encourage pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit, in addition to cars. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA): A branch of the U.S. Department of Transportation that administers the federal-aid highway program, providing financial assistance to states to construct and improve highways, urban and rural roads, and bridges. The FHWA also administers the Federal Lands Highway Program, including survey, design, and construction of forest highway system roads, parkways and park roads, Indian reservation roads, defense access roads, and other Federal Lands roads. Federal Transit Administration (FTA): A branch of the U.S. Department of Transportation that administers federal funding to transportation authorities, local governments, and states to support a variety of locally planned, constructed, and operated public transportation systems throughout the U.S., including buses,


BACK TO TOP

subways, light rail, commuter rail, streetcars, monorail, passenger ferry boats, inclined railways, and people movers. Fiscal Constraint: Making sure that a given program or project can reasonably expect to receive funding within the time allotted for its implementation. Functional Classification: The federal system of classifying groups of highways according to the character of service they are intended to provide and classifications made by the VDOT Commissioner based on the operational characteristics of a highway. Each highway is assigned a functional classification based on the highway’s intended purpose of providing priority to through traffic movement or adjoining property access. The functional classification system groups highways into three basic categories identified as (1) arterial, with the function to provide through movement of traffic; (2) collector, with the function of supplying a combination of through movement and access to property; and (3) local, with the function of providing access to property. Interstates are principle arterials. Highway, street, or road: means a public way for purposes of vehicular travel, including the entire area within the right-of-way. Interstates: four to ten lane highways that connect states and major cities. Interstates have the functional classification of principle arterial. JAUNT, Inc.: Regional transit service provider to Charlottesville City, and Albemarle, Fluvanna, Louisa, Nelson, Buckingham, Greene and Orange Counties. Originally stood for Jefferson Area United Transportation, since 1982 JAUNT, Inc. has been the legal name not just an acronym. Long Range Transportation Plan: MPO area, currently known as the 2035 UnJAM Plan, the updated plan will be called LRTP 2040. Local streets/roads: Is the functional classification for highways that comprise all facilities that are not collectors or arterials. Local streets serve primarily to provide direct access to abutting land and to other streets. Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO): Charlottesville-Albemarle MPO is one of fourteen state MPOs that facilitate coordinated planning and programming of transportation projects in urban regions, particularly federally funded facilities. Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21): (legislation that governs the metropolitan planning process) funds Federal surface transportation programs for FY 2013 and 2014 - replaced SAFETEA-LU. In July 2012, Congress passed a Federal Transportation Act to update SAFETEA-LU. The 2012 update, MAP-21, carries forward the key planning requirements and provisions of SAFETEA-LU with an added emphasis on performance-based planning and programming. National Highway System (NHS): The National Highway System (NHS) consists of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility. Principal Arterials are part of the National Highway System. Planning District Commission (PDC): Thomas Jefferson PDC is one of twenty-one PDCs throughout Virginia that provide sponsored transportation planning services in Virginia’s rural regions and small urban areas. PDCs also provide a unique forum for coordinating multi-disciplinary regional plans that address economic, environmental, and social issues. VDOT and DRPT work actively with MPOs and PDCs on an individual basis and through statewide associations such as VAMPO and VAPDC.

Primary roads: State road classification for two to six lane roads that connect cities and towns with each other and with interstates. Generally routes numbered under 600. Rideshare: Travel Demand Management (TDM) services housed at TJPDC that promote congestion relief and air quality improvement through carpool matching, vanpool formation, Guaranteed Ride Home, employer outreach, telework consulting and multimedia marketing programs for the City of Charlottesville, and Albemarle, Fluvanna, Louisa, Nelson, and Greene Counties Roadway: The portion of a highway, including shoulders, for vehicular use. A divided highway has two or more roadways. Rural Area: The areas outside the boundaries of urbanized areas and urban places (see Urban Area). The Charlottesville-Albemarle MPO is an urbanized area with a population of over 50,000. Therefore, the land area in Albemarle County not within the MPO Urban Area is in the Rural Area. This Rural Area is not the same Albemarle County’s Comprehensive Plan Rural Areas. The County’s Rural Area boundaries and non-urban area boundaries cover much of the same area but are not exactly the same. Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act (SAFETEA-LU): A Legacy for Users – Funded Federal surface transportation programs from 2005 – 2012. Replaced and built upon the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) and the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21). SAFETEA-LU was replaced by MAP-21 in July 2012. Secondary roads: State road classification for state maintained roads with routes numbered 600 and above. Secondary roads are owned by localities but maintained by VDOT. Secondary roads are the majority of roadways in the Rural Areas. Travel Demand Management (TDM): also known as transportation demand management, TDM is the application of strategies and policies to reduce travel demand by reducing the emphasis on single-occupant vehicles or redistributing transportation demand in space or time. Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP): A statement of work identifying the planning priorities and activities to be carried out within the MPO. At a minimum, a UPWP includes a description of the planning work and resulting products, who will perform the work, time frames for completing the work, the cost of the work, and the source(s) of funds. Urban Area: For MPO planning purposes, an urban area is either an urbanized area (population of 50,000 and over), or an urban place as designated by the Bureau of the Census (population of 5,000 or more) and not within any urbanized area, with boundaries fixed by State and local officials and approved by the Federal Highway Administration. The Charlottesville-Albemarle MPO is an urbanized area with a population of over 50,000. This Urban Area is not the same Albemarle County’s Comprehensive Plan Development Area boundaries. The County’s Development Area boundaries and the MPO Urban Area boundaries cover much of the same area but are not exactly the same.

Federal Functional Classification System of Public Roadways in Albemarle County

The three main functional categories of County roadways are arterial, collector, and local. Arterial roadways are divided into the sub-categories of principal and minor arterials. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) further defines principal arterials as roadways classified as interstates, other freeways and expressways, and other principal arterials. All Principal Arterials are included in the National Highway System of Roads. Collector roadways are divided into sub-categories of major and minor collectors. VDOT is currently in the process of updating the functional classification of roadways throughout the State as is done following a decennial census and, in this case, in response to new Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) guidance for the functional classification system. Maps showing the updated Functional Classifications will be available in late 2013. The highest functional class of roadway in Albemarle County is the principal arterial. Interstate 64 is classified as a principal arterial and part of the National Highway System. I-64 traverses the County and connects the Charlottesville-Albemarle County region to major north-south interstates (I-81 and 1-95) and the Richmond and Norfolk metropolitan areas. Interstate highways are the highest level of functional road and are part of a national system of freeways and expressways, providing long distance traffic, high speed and limited access connections. I-64 has seven grade-separated interchanges in the County at Route 616 (Exit 126), Route 250 (Exit 124), Route 20 (Exit 121), 5th Street Extended (Exit 120), and Routes 20/250 (Exit 118), Route 637 (Exit 114) and Route 250 (Exit 107). Three of the interchanges are located in the County’s Development Areas – Exits 118, 120 and 121 and are addressed in the Master Plan for the Southern and Western Neighborhoods. The remaining four interchanges are in the Rural Area and are discussed in greater depth in the Rural Area Section of the Plan. VDOT maintains a safety rest area along eastbound I-64 (at mile marker 105). Other principal arterials include Route 29 and Route 250 from the I-64 east intercharge at Shadwell to the I250 Ivy Road interchange Route 29. The County is connected to the Interstate by way of the arterial and collector roadway network that runs through the County. Updates to the roadway functional classifications will be available once the updated functional classification maps are adopted by the Commonwealth Transportation Board in late 2013.

Ivy Road Improvement Study: PACC Report May 2008

BACKGROUND In 1994 the City, County and University jointly sponsored a design study of Ivy Road. The consultants who prepared the study were Lardner Klein (LK) Landscape Architects P.C. of Alexandria, Virginia. The introduction to the report states: “Ivy Road (Route 250 West) is a ‘front door’ to Charlottesville, Albemarle County, and the University of Virginia. As such, its appearance is second only in importance to its safety….As one of the primary entrances to the City, the County and the University, Ivy Road’s appearance and its function is a strong determinant of the general public’s perception of the area.” Thirteen years later, this description is no less true, although the University has implemented the recommended improvements along two borders of its property on Ivy Road. Since then, the City and County have included the implementation of the proposed improvements—road widening, bicycle lanes, sidewalks and plantings—in their requests to VDOT for funding through the regional Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) but the annual road funding allocations have to date been insufficient to accomplish the project. PACC proposes to study an alternate approach to funding by submitting a joint project request to the Commonwealth’s Revenue Sharing Program. Proposed Improvements The 1994 Study included proposals for bike lanes, continuous sidewalks, relocated utility wires, pedestrian scale street lighting, a raised planted median and other plantings, sign guidelines, and consistent street furnishing. The Study also called for road widening in certain areas; however, the thrust of this new initiative is related to alternative models of transit: bus, bike and pedestrian. Pedestrian safety in the corridor has become more important since the construction of the Ivy-Emmet garage and the JPJ Arena. It is also expected that the $100 million Arts Gateway to the University (currently in design) will attract more bicycles, transit users and pedestrians to this corridor. The University has also completed a more recent study to address current conditions at the Ivy-Emmet intersection. It is anticipated that the recommendations of that study will be included in the scope of the proposed joint project. Revenue Sharing Program VDOT administers a $50 m. program that provides additional funding for use by a county, city, or town to construct, maintain or improve the highway system by providing state funds to match local contributions for small, immediately needed improvements. Sidewalks and trails are eligible for this funding in the “Incidental improvements” category; however the focus of the program is to improve the highway system. The Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) allocates project funding based on a tiered priority system.

At least 50% match up to $1 million maximum state contribution per locality.

Highest priority is given to projects where the locality is giving more than $1 million for a $1 million match (more than 50%).

Projects may be administered locally or by VDOT.

Application must be submitted by the locality but 50% of match can be provided by other sources. Therefore if the City, County, and University each contributed $1 million, the state conceivably could match that with $2 million, if the terms of the program are not altered in the upcoming legislative session, providing $5 million in total project funding for improvements to this important entrance corridor. STUDY PROCESS The Study Group (participants noted below) met on February 28th, 2008 at UVA to discuss the process of preparing for an action plan and report to PACC in 2008. The objectives were to develop a proposal for state funding, improve multi-modal accessibility, and expand a collaborative approach to ongoing maintenance and improvements. The steps included:

Participants reviewed Lardner Study and other associated studies such as the 1989 Lewis Mountain – University Heights Area B Study, and the 2005 Ivy Emmet Intersection Area Study by Kimley-Horn.

Participants recorded recommendations made in plan, those that had been completed, and the recommendations that were no longer relevant per the City, County and University.


BACK TO TOP

Participants reviewed potential funding sources in addition to the revenue sharing program. The findings of this study process are presented on the following pages. In general, the majority of recommendations from the study have not been completed due to a lack of prioritization, funding, and the relatively minor amount of development that has occurred along the corridor since 1994. However, the study process was very useful to inform current staff of the recommendations and highlight the need to improve this important Entrance Corridor to our community. The City and County currently have established priorities for the near-term use of the Commonwealth’s Revenue Sharing Program, so use of this sharing program to support the Ivy Corridor would be a long term goal unless the City and County are willing to reconsider their priorities. Other programs could also be assessed for their potential to help support improvements, such as an assessment district, or through the Governor’s recent order on Sustainable Community Investment. PACC should make recommendations as to appropriate funding mechanisms for this community investment.

11. Construct the proposed long term plan in conjunction with VDOT (bike lanes, raised median, etc., page 41). County of Albemarle Improvements that have been completed from LK Study Item 1: The Study was adopted as part of Comprehensive Plan. The Study is referenced in the Land Use component of the Comprehensive Plan in the Profiles for Neighborhood Six and Seven. Item 2: Development proposals can be and are reviewed in regard to the Ivy Road Study recommendations. Specifically, Site Plan reviews are ministerial acts and the only improvements that can be required are those by the site plan ordinance based on the property zoning. The Commission cannot deny a site plan because it does meet the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan. Item 3: Addressed when the Western Bypass was an active project. Item 6: The UnJam Plan describes the Route 250 West project (listed as I-24) as: improve roadway safe to include restriping to accommodate new sidewalk and bike lanes. UnJam also recognizes the road cross-section as a 3-lane urban design (center turn lane). Item 7: Completed. County of Albemarle Prioritized list of remaining Study recommendations There are three areas of emphasis the County requests are addressed on Route 250: 1. Improve Route 250 West from Emmet Street to the Route 29/250 Bypass. This section is covered by the joint Ivy

Road Design Study conducted by the City, County and University of Virginia and originally recognized for improvement in the Lewis Mountain Neighborhood /University Heights (Area B) Study. Planting is subordinate to sidewalk and bike lanes. Any plans for the improvement of this section of Route 250 West need to be coordinated among the City, County and University.

2. Old Ivy Road (Rt. 601) is currently priority number 6 on the County Secondary Priority List. 3. Safety improvements for Route 250 West from the City limits to the Farmington/Ednam entrance and a sidewalk
