Download or read book Federal Surface Transportation Programs and Transportation Planning for Federal Land Management Agencies a Guidebook written by U. S. Department of Transportation and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-01-31 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multiple governmental jurisdictions have responsibilities for the transportation systems that provide access to or within Federal lands. Transportation networks are seamless only when these networks are managed holistically. It is critical that Federal agency transportation planning efforts be integrated with those of the States, other Federal agencies, Tribal governments, Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), counties, and communities to improve the effectiveness of the entire system. Local communities—and the Federal lands that border them—are intricately linked. Federal lands adjacent to communities contribute significantly to the economy, cultural identity, and quality of life in these communities. They provide scenic beauty and recreational opportunities and help nourish ecological values, benefiting local communities and nearby metropolitan areas. As members of the greater community, Federal land management agency transportation planners and other managers need to work with area leaders to create transportation, land use, and economic development strategies that preserve natural resources while supporting local economic and other community objectives. Better transportation links are emerging between State and local transportation systems including transit systems and Federal land transportation systems to help people access Federal land. As the connection between these systems becomes more seamless, this coordinated transportation network stimulates new Federal land uses and activities for recreation, allows for more effective land management, and enhances rural transportation infrastructure for surrounding private land. However, this increased use creates challenges for maintaining natural resources such as wildlife, fish, plants, cultural resources, water quality, stream function, and environmental quality overall. The guidebook is designed to assist Federal land managers, staff, and partners in developing relationships and in maximizing participation in Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) surface transportation programs. With the technical assistance available through the FHWA and the FTA, the agencies can help further regional and local community goals and better fulfill their mission including resource protection and environmental quality. Seamless transportation systems and Federal land management agencies' commitment to building better relationships with States and other partners helps agencies achieve their mission and provide effective land stewardship and public service. The FHWA and FTA funding is very flexible and can be used for many activities beyond just constructing roads including enhancing roadside areas, providing traveler services, constructing trails, and improving environmental conditions alongside roads and trails. Most of the funding available through Federal surface transportation programs cannot be accessed directly by the Federal land management agencies (FLMAs). To benefit from most of these FHWA and FTA funding programs, the Federal agencies must partner with the State or local governments. Agencies must participate in the State's and/or region's transportation planning process to ensure that projects that are important to the agencies are included in the State's project priority list known as the statewide transportation improvement program or STIP. In a metropolitan area, projects must be included in a similar list called the transportation improvement program or TIP, which is ultimately incorporated into the STIP, either directly or by reference. This guidebook outlines the transportation planning process and serves as a primer on: Which activities are eligible for funding; Where to find funding; Actions required for Federal land managers to access and benefit from these funds and programs; Which agencies to partner with; How to integrate Federal land management objectives with State and local objectives.

This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Wichita Mountains Alternative Transportation Study, completed by the U.S. Department of Transportation Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, in cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service(FWS), Central Federal Lands Highway Division, and the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge (the “refuge” or “Wichita Mountains”), evaluates alternative transportation methods that encourage visitors to travel to and within the refuge by alternative modes to address refuge and community desiresto accommodate additional visitors without adding to the existing footprint of the refuge. Wichita Mountains is located in southwest Oklahoma, roughly 30 miles from the City of Lawton and the U.S. Army - Fort Sill, and within walking distance of the small community of Medicine Park. The primary access route to the refuge is Interstate 44, which connects the cities of Wichita Falls, Texas, Oklahoma City and Tulsato the refuge. Wichita Mountains receives approximately 1.6 million recreational visitors a year, thegreatmajority of whom arrive by private vehicles.

Download or read book Alternative Transportation System Demand Estimation for Federal Land Management Agencies written by and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Structure of This Report: Chapter II reviews traditional models for estimating transportation demand. It introduces the 'four-step model' that is usually applied for transportation systems with extensive data available to support the modeling effort. The chapter also describes factors that make a public lands setting different from traditional transportation agencies, and therefore why traditional modeling techniques may be less applicable for FLMAs. Chapter III introduces the data tools and approaches available that are better tailored to the needs of FLMAs. Following a brief introduction to the different types of data that are available, the chapter describes both the data sources and collection methods that will greatly aid federal public land sites as they begin to approach ATS demand estimation. The following three chapters describe some of the key considerations associated with ATS demand on federal public lands: service considerations, visitation considerations, and site-specific considerations. Finally, the report concludes with a framework in the form of a matrix that summarizes the key factors of importance to different visitors when deciding whether or not to utilize a voluntary ATS service. The matrix describes such factors as scheduling, accommodations, fare, and destinations served."--Structure of This Report (p. 3).
