I-95 Corridor Long-Range Vision Plan for 2035
The 15-state consortium of State Departments of Transportation along the Atlantic Seaboard performed a visioning study of the I-95 Corridor to set the framework for its continuing focus over the next decade. The I-95 Corridor Coalition is an alliance of the state transportation departments and agencies from Maine to Florida and provides a forum for key decision and policy makers to address transportation management and operations issues. Parsons Brinckerhoff, as part of a team, reviewed alternative long range futures for intercity travel in the corridor including estimates of demand and multimodal supply options.

Parsons Brinckerhoff contributed to the definition of alternative future scenarios for the corridor, recognizing significant differences among mega-regions. A series of supply, policy and institutional options were developed and evaluated and key issues for future consideration identified.
