DEIS Traffic Modeling

• MCB Quantico Transportation Working Group
• The base model used for this effort was the
  Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments
  (MWCOG) Version 2.1D 50.
• The input data used included the 2006 Constrained
  Long Range Plan (CLRP) compiled from VDOT, FAMPO,
  Prince William County, and Stafford County and
  the Cooperative Land Use Forecasts Round 7.0a.
• Traffic Model
• Timeframe 2011 (BRAC) and 2030
• Evaluated four alternatives/options and no action
• Traffic Working group agreed on areas for traffic
  modeling
• Focus on key intersections, entrance/exit ramps
• On Base and off base traffic modeled
• 2011 No Action alternative served as Baseline for
  Defense Access Road (DAR) program eligibility

9
Traffic Improvement Findings

• BRAC traffic impacts are spread over commuting
  area
• The Ingress / Egress routes where 3000 commuters
  converge required evaluation
• Focus on key intersections, entrance/exit ramps
• Requirement to move traffic efficiently through
  key nodes, across base and into BRAC site to
  prevent backup at key transportation nodes
• Russell Road
• I-95 and Route 1 Ramps and Russell Road
  Intersections
• Telegraph road intersection with Route 1
• Onville Road Intersection with Route 610

Traffic Recommendations
Proposed Traffic Recommendations

• Major MCBQ access points currently perform
  unacceptably.
• Regional growth will further degrade
  intersections unless improvements are made.
• Alternatives have unacceptable levels of service
  at U.S. Route 1 and I-95 intersections, and at
  proposed development sites.
• Traffic impacts at base access points are similar
  for both alternatives.
• Recommended mitigation measures include
• road widening,
• additional turning lanes,
• signalization.
