These FHWA Proven Safety Countermeasures emphasized the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists through risk and exposure reduction at intersections. This innovative approach to more rapidly deploy safety countermeasures was funded by the FHWA’s State Transportation Innovation Council (STIC) Incentive program. Foundational to the approach of this project were the goals of the Technology and Innovation Deployment Program (TIDP) that emphasized innovative practices, improvements to safety, quick construction/ deployment, new tools and techniques, and improvements to mobility. The term “interim design” was used throughout the life of the project to communicate that the deployment of the safety countermeasures is a step toward a more permanent solution. https://connect.ncdot.gov/projects/BikePed/Documents/interim-design-safety-pilot-program.pdf NCDOT’s Integrated Mobility Division (IMD) is holding its next quarterly Multimodal Updates Webinar on Thursday, May 23rd at 10am.

Each year, Congress appropriates funding, establishes funding programs, and provides procedural guidance. The budget is passed down to each state’s Transportation Department, which distributes the funds to MPOs. Reaching the regional MPOs allows each community to use this funding to address their community’s unique needs. One tool used to evaluate the need for future investments in roads, highways, rail, aviation, and public transportation is a travel demand model. PART is responsible for leading the development and maintenance of our region’s travel demand model. The Piedmont Triad Regional Modeling Program (PTRM) has been in place since February 2003 and began with the development of a regional travel demand model. Today it includes a four-step travel demand model, a tour-based freight model, a growth allocation model, and a transit ridership projection model. PART’s team is updating the model in preparation for the 2025 Metropolitan Transportation Plans by the region’s four MPOs. This revision of the travel demand model will include several first: · A more detailed freight movement analysis using the tour-based freight model; · Scenario planning and the allocation of future population and employment growth across each MPO using CommunityViz, a powerful analysis tool used for urban planning, land use planning, geodesign, transportation planning, and resource management applications; · Household travel data from the Triad Travel Counts’ state-wide survey and; · The inclusion of future public transportation projects, along with the projected growth of transit ridership These enhancements to the PTRM represent PART’s continued commitment to ensuring that our transportation infrastructure meets the community’s future needs and provides the highest level of transportation planning for the benefit of our MPOs and the NCDOT.

Earth Day 2024 PART was proud to sponsor the Piedmont Environmental Alliance’s Earth Day Celebration for another year. Once again, we partnered with our friends at Winston-Salem Transit Authority and tabled with Forsyth County Office of Environmental Assistance and Protection. Over 8,500 people attended this year’s event. We understand the significance of this global event and are committed to supporting initiatives that promote environmental awareness and sustainability. Bringing Back the Buddy Ride! As part of a regional initiative with universities and colleges, lead my PART’s Transportation Demand Management and Marketing Departments, PART is offering a ride incentive for Join us for a students—a revamped PART program originally dubbed “Buddy Rides.” Our goal is to encourage and promote the use of public transportation among college students. Buddy Rides will offer a unique opportunity for participating students to experience the convenience, affordability, and environmental benefits of public transportation. By riding with PART representatives, students will gain valuable insights into navigating the bus system, discovering the best routes, and optimizing travel time. We kick off our first Buddy Ride in August 2024 with three participating colleges. We will take advantage of our new Transit To Trails initiative and visit Purgatory Trail directly outside of the North Carolina Zoo. Students and our PART representatives will take Greensboro Transit Authority into the Galyon Depot and ride PART’s Route 10 Randolph County Express directly into the North Carolina Zoo. From there, we will hike Purgatory Trail, a public trail that is part of the Uwharrie Mountain Range and is accessed RideTheTriad.org without paid entrance into the Zoo. Students will be given the opportunity to stay after the hike and visit the Zoo, a true We want to take you for a FREE ride!
