2 Foreword I. Transportation and People movedc is a plan for the future of the city and how its residents, workers, and visitors will move around the city. Throughout the planning process, transportation was a significant focus, but it was not considered in a vacuum. Recognizing the comple nature of the effects of transportation on cities, the process purposefully eplored transportation s role in making the city more livable and prosperous for everyone; contributing to better environmental quality; making neighborhoods more livable and successful; and keeping the District a locally, regionally, and globally competitive place. At the end of the day, transportation is about moving people by whatever mode they choose to use for travel. Understanding that the people who use the system often have the best perspective about what the eisting system has to offer and what a system of the future could offer, movedc purposefully sought to epand the public dialogue to a broad base of people in the District. At a human and individual level, the movedc engagement initiative purposefully connected with groups, agencies, and individuals traditionally not involved in planning and the public discourse, but who could share invaluable stories and ideas. Recognizing the value of people s insight to guide and inspire the overall engagement initiative for movedc, the process set the ambitious goal from its first day which it ultimately met to engage a unique one percent of the District s daytime population (more than 11,000 people). This goal of the process was achieved through major events, three rounds of workshops, webinars, social media, blogging, committee meetings, conversations with special groups, and survey interactions. II. Our Transportation Future This document is simultaneously a transportation plan and an investment strategy supporting significant city goals. Like all good plans and strategies, it will need to be updated from time to time every 5 years is a reasonable epectation. The need for updates is not an acknowledgement of specific flaws of the movedc Plan, but a recognition that some things will change in the city that no one can anticipate today. If the movedc Plan is to remain a valuable tool, some level of continuing investment in it is needed. This document presents a vision and specific recommendations for our transportation future as residents, workers, and visitors of the District of Columbia. The plan comes at a time of significant growth to more than 900,000 residents and 1,000,000 jobs by 2040, based on forecasts by the District Office of Planning (2013); to more visitors; and to more local, regional, national, and international activity. The plan is focused on improving transportation conditions in the District for all its residents, workers, and visitors by making strategic investments in its significant networks transit, bicycle, pedestrian, and vehicles while also supporting significant District goals related to neighborhood vitality, environmental stewardship, and global competitiveness.

3 III. Our Vision and Goals The movedc vision and goals set a high bar for the District s transportation future. The vision and goals were developed through etensive public engagement and are described in greater detail in Chapter 1. Vision The District of Columbia will have a world-class transportation system serving the people who live, work, and visit the city. The transportation system will make the city more livable, sustainable, prosperous, and attractive. It will offer everyone in the District eceptional travel choices. As the transportation system evolves over time, the District will: Be more competitive and attractive locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally Have safer and more vibrant streets and neighborhoods Have cleaner air, streams, and rivers, and be more responsive to climate change Accommodate the travel needs of all residents, workers, and visitors regardless of age or ability Integrate the District s transportation system with the region s transportation network GOALS movedc s goals and objectives are derived from eisting District plans, including Sustainable D.C. and the Strategic Highway Safety Plan, prior DDOT vision and goal statements, and input from the public during the movedc process. ÎÎSustainability and Health: Achieve 75% of all commute trips in the District by non-auto modes Î ÎPublic Space: Reinforce, D.C. s historic landscapes and quality of neighborhood public space ÎÎCitywide Accessibility and Mobility: Maimize system reliability and capacity for moving people and goods Î ÎNeighborhood Accessibility and Connectivity: Support neighborhood vitality and economic development ÎPreservation: Î Maimize reliability for all District transportation infrastructure by investing in maintenance and asset management Î ÎFunding and Financing: Invest in transportation to achieve outcomes within the plan horizon ÎÎSafety and Security: Achieve zero fatalities and serious injuries on the District transportation network ii District Department of Transportation

4 The National Mall is a signature place for the nation and increasingly accessible by all transportation modes A TRANSFORMATIVE OUTCOME At its core, movedc is a transportation plan, but in actual fact, it is a mechanism to support and contribute to the city s prosperity and health. Early in the planning process, many voices contributed to identifying the general and specific needs that movedc would need to address. The following is a brief summary on the ways in which movedc addresses the broadly epressed needs for transportation in the District today and in the years to come. ÎÎFor residents, more Capital Bikeshare, faster and more reliable transit, streetcars, more Metrorail, bike lanes and cycle tracks in more places, sidewalks citywide, improved streetscapes, and more efficient traffic operations on streets. ÎÎFor commuters, more commuter rail, more Metrorail, more and better surface transit, more efficient freeway and major arterial operations through careful management, strategies to reduce downtown congestion, and more regional coordination. ÎÎFor visitors, an easier to understand and use transportation system, more choices in more places, an even more beautiful city, and even more reasons to not drive, whether people s trips start from near or far. ÎÎFor business, support for innovation, streetcars, more travel choices in more places, better freight and delivery eperience, management of downtown traffic and highway congestion, better access to and from the District, more reliable transportation system, and sustained investment in the city s infrastructure. ÎÎFor the environment, more effective use of the transportation system to improve water and air quality, more walking, bicycling, and transit use, and preservation and enhancement of the natural, cultural, and historic landscape. ÎÎFor the most vulnerable, safe routes to schools and for seniors, quality travel choices in more places, safer streets for everyone, support and subsidy, more effective local services, and continued opportunity to drive. ÎÎFor a lifetime, a complete, interconnected, and effective transportation system that allows people at every stage of their life find a place in the city that meets their needs.
