Ohio Conference on Freight

Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission


2

Metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for the Columbus urbanized area.

The United States Code requires that MPOs plan for multimodal and intermodal facilities as part of…

“an integrated metropolitan transportation system, giving emphasis to those facilities that serve important national

and regional transportation functions.”

For that reason, the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) is actively involved in goods movement planning.

3

To engage leaders in the central Ohio region in a public/private

partnership for our economy and for the mobility of freight and

goods, in order to advance the region’s freight movement in a

reliable, multimodal and intermodal, efficient, cost-effective,

safe, and environmentally responsible manner.

Fostered relationship with the railroads through work on a light rail transit study, including examination of rail bottlenecks in central Ohio.

NS began working with the CRAA to pursue the addition of a rail intermodal facility at Rickenbacker International Airport.

MORPC began work on a transportation study in the Rickenbacker area in 2003.

Purpose of Study Study area growth. Have local government

cooperation. No coordinated plans in the

Rickenbacker area at the time.

Need for coordinated road improvements to make the area successful.

Goals Better integration of transportation and land use Assess Rickenbacker area highway needs. Recommend a functional highway network to

accommodate existing and future traffic safely. Tool to reserve future road rights-of-way. Guide public agencies and developers on access

management. Coordinate local and ODOT transportation plans.

9

Tasks included: Review existing/proposed land use in the area Develop a series of “land use scenarios” depicting modest

to aggressive development. Sketch thoroughfare plans based on the land use scenarios. Determine traffic volumes and traffic impact for each land

use scenario using MORPC’s travel demand model. Make recommendations for roadway facility as deficiencies

are identified. Include conceptual costs and implementation plan for

improvements.

This project is one element of a much larger project: The Heartland Corridor Project.

In this context, ORDC’s involvement has been significant.

Inside the Fence: Not so much.

Project Sponsor in Feasibility Study

Project Advocate at State and Federal Level

Funding Source

Project Oversight / State Contact

In 2003 ORDC entered into a contract with the Nick J. Rahall Appalachian Transportation Institute at Marshall University.

Purpose of the Study: Determine what it would take to a provide double stack clearance route through Virginia, West Virginia and Ohio.

Within State Government, become a project advocate.

Support with Congressional Delegation

State level Cheerleader for the project.

May 2006: ORDC passes Res. 06-06

Provides 90% of the costs of double stack clearance projects in Ohio, or up to $836,355 as part of the $150 million “Heartland Corridor” project to provide a double stack cleared line for NS from Columbus, through West Virginia, to the port of Hampton Roads/Norfolk.

Project oversight of Heartland Corridor rests with FHWA as a “Project of National Significance”

ORDC is point of contact agency for Ohio.
