Editor's Notes
Let’s start with insight2050
Last year through insight2050, we learned that over 300,000 jobs and upwards of a million people are expected to come to our region in the next 35 years. For those unfamiliar with insight2050, it is a collaborative effort designed to help communities proactively plan for development and population growth over the next 30+ years.
Planning ahead for this forecasted growth is extremely important as it will have a significant impact on our region and the rest of Ohio.
We learned from insight2050 that Central Ohio’s population growth will largely occur in the age group of the millennials and those 65 and older. And as insight2050 has revealed, preferences and needs have changed. As older adults migrate closer to their children, seek housing and amenities more conducive to aging, they ultimately will shift how we do business today.
These eight factors, or metrics, let us see, in actual numbers, the effects of each growth scenario. The insight2050 metrics are objective and data-driven, creating a common language. I should note that the numbers for each of the metrics are still based on population growth of 500,000 people, but the relative differences between these metrics are still accurate even if our region grows by more than 500,000 people.
MORPC is the federally mandated and federally funded metropolitan planning organization for Central Ohio.
As the MPO we produce three products: Planning Work Program, the Metropolitan Transportation Plan and the Transportation Improvement Program for the region which incorporates all modes of transportation.
The plan is viewable at www.morpc.org/mtp2040 and is updated once every four years.
The Planning Work Program is our scope of services with ODOT which outlines our annual responsibilities.
The Metropolitan Transportation Plan is a plan we develop every 4 years that identifies deficiencies in the transportation system and provide possible solutions.
The Transportation Improvement Program is updated every two years and implements the MTP by scheduling and funding transportation improvements recommended in the Plan.
The MTP provides strategies for improving the transportation system which includes roadways, transit, freeways, bicycle and pedestrian facilities and intelligent transportation systems. All projects considering federal funding must be included in the MTP.
Before the Transportation Improvement Program is updated, we solicit applications seeking MORPC Attributable funds. These funds are federal funds passed down through ODOT. We are currently in the process of gathering the applications for the next TIP. As you can see the draft list of projects seeking MORPC’s funding will be available for public review and comment this month. Once the projects are adopted, they will be added to the TIP along with other State and Locally funded projects. The draft TIP will then go back out for review and comment before adoption.
On July 1, 2013, ODOT began a two-year pilot program with five multi-county planning organizations (or councils of government) providing them with funding to conduct regional transportation planning in coordination with local stakeholders, Ohio MPOs, and ODOT. Intended to assist non-MPO counties with transportation planning, projects and funding. On January 27, 2016, Kasich formally designated these agencies as Ohio RTPOs. Other states are doing this as well.
