Here we are, at the end of what has been an exciting
18-month long planning process, ready to present to you the final moveDC plan. You can find the entire
plan at www.wemovedc.org/resources.
The moveDC plan
sets a transportation course in the District for the next twenty-five years. It
details a vision and a set of implementable investments and policies to build a
system that meets the needs of residents, commuters and visitors in a world
class city by creating a sustainable, safe, and efficient transportation
network.
While the process to develop the overall moveDC plan has concluded, we now move
into the next phase of moveDC:
implementation. DDOT has developed a 2-year Action Plan outlining
36 projects that DDOT and other District agencies will advance to realize the moveDC plan. The list of these actions
is not exhaustive—DDOT and other agencies will continue day-to-day activities
that also contribute to moveDC. DDOT also will report on the Action Plan through quarterly and annual updates.
DDOT is committed to continuing the dialogue with the public
and stakeholders as we move forward with moveDC. Before we sign off for the moveDC plan development effort, we
would like to take a minute to thank those who made this process and plan
possible.
DDOT would like to thank the thousands of people who participated in
the planning process—in meetings and
workshops, through social media, surveys, webinars, emails, and countless
conversations. Your suggestions, critical thinking, comments, and ideas contributed
significantly to the moveDC plan,
and to improving the future of transportation in the District of Columbia.
Thank you to the members of the following moveDC committees, for your guidance, input and discussions
throughout the planning process.
·
moveDC Transportation
Plan Advisory Committee (TPAC)
·
moveDC Agency
Advisory Committee (AAC)
·
moveDC Core
Technical Committee (CTC)
DDOT would also like to thank former Director Terry Bellamy for
initiating the moveDC process and
encouraging a forward-looking and inclusive planning process.
DDOT would also like to thank the consultant team that
assisted the agency in the preparation of the moveDC plan. Led by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., the
team also included Nelson\Nygaard; Cordell & Crumley; Nspiregreen; Sabra,
Wang & Associates; Foursquare Integrated Transportation Planning;
Southeastern Institute of Research; Nexus Infrastructure; and HR&A
Advisors.
DDOT is dedicated to achieving the moveDC vision, in partnership with the community and on a project
by project basis to build a better future for the District that we and the next
generations of Washingtonians can truly enjoy.
We hope that you will continue to be a part of the
investment in Our Transportation Future
for years to come.
Sincerely,
Your District Department of Transportation
