MOVE 2040 25-year planning horizon Performance-based planning Broad input MOVE 2040 is a look over the transportation system for the next 25 years. It shows what are existing conditions, what the system may be in 2040, and shows the actions to be taken to get to that 2040. It lists the projects to be undertaken, the planning initiatives to complete, the technologies to apply and the transportation policies to be used to guide future decision making.

TRANSPORTATION: The Circulatory System Thriving Businesses Moving People Moving Goods Transportation is about moving people and goods. An efficient, safe, well maintained coordinated set of transportation networks that provide access and accessibility for the activities of businesses , residents and visitors to a metropolitan area contribute to a healthy growing metropolitan area

CURRENT CONDITIONS Well-developed road/bridge network Good overall condition Able to accommodate new growth Ease of vehicular travel Transit service requires attention The overall condition of the road and bridge network is good. The current road network can absorb all the growth projected during the 25 year period of MOVE 2040 There is little to no congestion on the transportation system now or projected through 2040 Transit service requires attention. The current system operates primarily within the City of Wichita

CHALLENGES FACING OUR SYSTEM Maintenance More transportation choices More regional focus Limited funds availability While the portions of the system receiving federal or state funds is in good shape for the most part. Continuing maintenance to keep the current conditions will be challenging. Participants in the previous outreach activities have often mentioned the desire for more choices beyond their person vehicles for some trip making Funds are projected to be less available and have less buying power over the planning period When project solicitation occurred $668 million in requests were received. The projected revenue during this same period was $154 million

DRIVERS Air Quality Changing Demographics Globalization Regional Significance Technology The issues facing the region include: Air Quality – the region is likely to be found not in compliance with the ozone standards Changing demographics – The system must accommodate the evolving needs of the aging population that is unlike any before it and balance with the need to have a system that attracts and retains the millennials. Regional Significance – Limited funds will drive decisions to be assessed with more attention to how large portions of the metropolitan area can benefit in addition to those businesses and residents proximate to the transportation investment Technology – Applications to inform about traffic conditions, vehicle conditions, alternative routes are rapidly changing and the future system must be able to accommodate the applications

VISION To provide a regional multimodal transportation system that is safe, permits equitable opportunity for its use, and advances the region’s ongoing vitality through cost conscious strategic investments.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY Focus on preservation Functionality of transportation networks Choices & Connectivity Technology “Live within our means”

STRATEGY ELEMENTS: Funding Assumptions Flat or declining growth in most revenue sources Significant decline in buying power (4%/year) No new actions to increase revenue sources Federal funds will not change Revenue partnerships with private and non-profit organizations
