efforts to improve transportation efficiency, safety and sustainability on critical
highway corridors through its Comprehensive Highway Corridor (CHC) program.
It is important for planners to be able to compare various types of highway
improvement options during the needs analysis and long-range planning
processes to select the best program-level plans for the corridor. SHA funded a
research project titled “Comprehensive Highway Corridor Planning with
Sustainability Indicators” to support the CHC and Sustainability Initiatives and to
develop a Model Of Sustainability and Integrated Corridors (MOSAIC), which
will help SHA estimate the sustainability impact of multimodal highway
improvement options early in the transportation planning and environmental
screening processes. The results from this research project can also help SHA
achieve its mobility, safety, socio-economic and environmental stewardship
objectives.
