Task 1: Existing Transportation System Assessment ● Inventory and analysis of all existing transportation infrastructure, including roads, bridges, public transit routes, and pedestrian/bicycle facilities. ● Evaluation of the current state of trac ow, congestion levels, and transportation demand. ● Assessment of the effectiveness of existing transportation policies, regulations, and programs. Task 2: Future Transportation Needs Projection ● Analysis of projected growth patterns within the NAVSTA, including population, employment, and economic development. ● Forecasting of future transportation demand, including vehicle trac, public transit usage, and alternative transportation modes such as the potential for ferry usage. This can also include a review of potential connection to the MBTA station in Fall River and unused rail on Aquidneck Island as well as driverless vehicles and increased electric vehicles. ● Identication of potential transportation-related challenges and risks associated with growth. Task 3: Infrastructure Assessment and Risk Evaluation ● Evaluation of the condition and capacity of existing road infrastructure, including pavement quality, bridge safety, and trac signal systems. Ensure Bruma Road and municipally owned roads are central to analysis. Also, coordinate with state planning that is underway currently. ● Identication of potential infrastructure deciencies and their associated risks. ● Assessment of the vulnerability of the transportation system to natural disasters, climate change, and other external factors.
