Pollution Prevention Partnership - Launches
Transportation Web Site
The Pollution Prevention Partnership (PPP) at Texas A&M - Corpus
Christi (TAMU-CC) has developed a website that inventories and
reflects all transportation corridors - current and perhaps future -
that affect our region. Access the web site at
www.transportation.tamucc.edu to view various corridors with
"pop-up" features that provide specific information regarding the
corridor's service area, need, funding status, stakeholder groups,
and more.
OOThe purpose of the site is to offer
transportation planners in our region a tool that allows a glance at
current and planned corridors throughout the state, as well as
insight on how these various corridors may affect our region. The
site is intent on assisting with such questions as:
- Are there upcoming projects being planned for our area that are poorly served by existing corridors?
- Is there a future corridor under discussion that our area can benefit from?
- Are there overlaps in the service that - current or future -corridors provide?
- As future projects get up and running, are there possible areas of congestion?
The PPP, whose mission is to design and deliver programs that
will continue Corpus Christi's air quality attainment status, is
working with the MPO to plan for transportation because our region
continues to experience significant growth in vehicle miles traveled
daily. Additionally, numerous projects on the horizon will encourage
more trade traffic associated with this commerce - all a part of a
growing region and expanding business base.
OOTransportation
emissions associated with the growth can be minimized if emission
reductions are part of the transportation planning process. Planned
transportation minimizes congestion and bottlenecks as it moves
multiple modes of traffic efficiently with minimal idling, miles
traveled, and emission reducing infrastructure and technologies to
be implemented while the corridor is planned and developed.
OOVisit
the site (www.transportation.tamucc.edu) and use it for your
transportation planning needs . . . and perhaps most importantly -
provide your input! The Pollution Prevention Partnership is very
interested in your comments and suggestions.
If you have any questions please visit the Pollution Prevention Partnership website or contact Gretchen Arnold.
