A near-unanimous response to this week’s question on National Journal's Transportation Experts Blog was that we are far from being intermodal.
Intermodal transportation; Multi-modal transportation
Chattanooga Bicycle Facilities Master Plan
In 2007, a $50,000 Chattanooga Bicycle Facilities Master Plan had been produced and adopted by 10 neighboring communities and $300,000 in federal Surface Transportation Program had been obtained to add even more miles of bike lanes and routes. The Chattanooga Urban Area Bicycle Facilities Master Plan, presented originally on April 2002 at a public meeting, builds upon the 140 miles of existing and previously planned greenways within the planning area. The plan identifies 382 miles of additional facilities to be created.
Thinking BIG
In Beckley, West Virginia, planners are thinking BIG- the Beckley Intermodal Gateway, that is, a $24 million transportation hub that is partly funded by FTA grants. Of course, not everyone is getting what they want out of the project.
