Description
DESCRIPTION:
In 2019, the NCC received government direction to develop a Long-Term Integrated Interprovincial Crossings Plan, which was approved by the NCC Board of Directors in early 2022 (https://ncc-ccn.gc.ca/our-plans/long-term-integrated-interprovincial-cr…). The Plan sets out a vision for the interprovincial movement of people and goods in the National Capital Region today and towards 2050. It includes key directions, strategies, and initiatives to help the region achieve common goals and objectives. Baseline and future scenarios were developed to compare how different transportation initiatives and investments will impact interprovincial travel patterns and behaviour in the National Capital Region (NCR), and how those scenarios help achieve the vision.
The Plan and its scenarios were developed using the most up-to-date regional travel data and long-range travel demand models (TRANS models) available at the time (2011). New regional residential travel data was collected in late 2022 and is expected to be available in mid-2023. In addition, new interprovincial commercial vehicle data and a new regional TRANS model are expected to be available in 2024. The NCC is now seeking the services of an experienced and qualified firm to assist with producing a Technical Update Addendum to the Plan based on these more recent regional travel data sets and travel demand models.
The primary focus of this assignment will include a significant amount of data review and traffic modelling from a regional perspective with the assumption that the current Plan’s vision and objectives, all remain valid and do not need to change.
