Executive Summary The Cities of Parkersburg and Vienna, WV, and Belpre and Marietta, OH are located in the Mid-Ohio Valley region along Ohio River and are a part of the Wood-Washington- Wirt (WWW) Interstate Planning Commission s transportation modeling network. WWW continually collects and records transportation and traffic data within its transportation network such as physical street conditions, traffic control, traffic volumes, traffic patterns, travel time, travel delay, accident information, and other general transportation data. This Continuing Planning Program Local Transportation and Traffic Data Product Report (Report) is a collection of travel time and delay data for seven specific corridors within the WWW study area. Travel time and delay surveys or runs were conducted during the morning (AM) and evening (PM) peak hour traffic times for each corridor. The AM runs were conducted from 7AM to 9AM and the PM runs were conducted from 3PM to 6PM. This Report presents the travel time and delay data for those corridors in the Ohio (OH) portion of the study area from July 1, 2008 to June 31, 2009. It also includes a summary of data from previous fiscal year studies. Information on the West Virginia (WV) corridors is available upon request. The OH corridors are listed below with a description of the location, longest travel time, and location of worst delay for the study period. The OH SR 618 (Washington Boulevard) westbound (WB) corridor starts at 5th and Ann Streets in Parkersburg and ends at SR 339 west of Belpre. The eastbound (EB) corridor runs from SR 339 west of Belpre to the intersection of 4th and Ann Streets in Parkersburg. This corridor is 5.4 miles in length and has an unimpeded travel time of 8 minutes 23 seconds. The longest average travel time occurred during the EB AM survey and lasted for 10 minutes 23 seconds. The longest individual delay lasted 40 seconds at the intersection of OH SR 618 and Main Street in Belpre during WB PM peak runs. Executive Summary 1

The OH SR 7 corridor starts at Acme Street in Marietta and ends at the entrance of Dimex Corporation in Reno. This corridor is 4.45 miles long and has an unimpeded travel time of 4 minutes 2 seconds. As a result of on-going construction activities. Travel time and delay surveys were not conducted in FY09. The OH SR 60 corridor in Marietta starts at the intersection of SR 7 (Pike St.) and Wayne St. and ends at the intersection of Muskingum Dr. (SR 60) and Colegate Dr. This corridor is 3.25 miles in length and takes 5 minutes 51 seconds to travel at the speed limit with no delays. The longest individual trip lasted 12 minutes 41 seconds during the FY09 survey. The longest delay occurred in the SB direction at the intersection of 3rd Street and Washington Street during the evening run and lasted 81 seconds. Travel times and delay data for each corridor as well as speed information are presented in the detailed analysis section of this report. Information from previous corridor runs is also provided for comparison, and to establish a historical database of information. Executive Summary 2

1.0 Introduction This Continuing Planning Program Local Transportation and Traffic Data Product Report (Report) is a collection of travel time and delay data for seven specific corridors within the WWW study area. Corridors were selected for study based on congestion or perceived congestion and those roadways that were most heavily traveled in the region based on ADT. WWW began conducting travel time and delay surveys for select corridors within the city limits of Belpre and Marietta, OH, and Vienna and Parkersburg, WV. Survey data was documented in Continuing Planning Program Local Transportation and Traffic Data Product Reports from Fiscal Year 1999 (FY99) to the present and is updated annually. WWW defines each fiscal year as the time from July 1 to June 31. This Report represents current conditions and provides a measure to determine the effectiveness of past improvements that may have been implemented along these corridors and trends in travel time and delay patterns. Although the purpose of this report is not to draw conclusions or recommendations from the data, it may serve to aid in the identification for project need and justification along the corridors. This Report supplements prior Reports to maintain a historical database of travel time and delay conditions. However, due to variances in the transportation position within the WWW organization, some data is unavailable or incomplete. Specific impacts to this report will be highlighted as they occur. This Report presents travel time and delay survey data for those corridors in the Ohio portion of the study area for FY09. Some historical comparisons are also provided. Information on the West Virginia corridors is available upon request. Introduction 1-1

1.1 Travel Time Travel time is a measure of transportation system performance and is measured by recording the amount of time it takes to reach control points along a corridor from beginning to end. Control points are discussed further in Section 2 of this Report. 1.2 Travel Delay Travel delay is also a measure of transportation system performance and can be caused by a variety of conditions. Bus stops, accidents, pedestrian or bicycle crossing, traffic signals, and turning movements are a few examples of factors impacting travel delay. Travel delay is a timed measure of where and why a delay occurred. Delay is timed and documented when the survey vehicle is slowed to a speed of 10 MPH or less. 1.3 Travel Time and Delay Surveys Travel time and delay surveys or runs were conducted during the morning (AM) and evening (PM) peak hour traffic times for each corridor. The AM runs were conducted from 7AM to 9AM and the PM runs were conducted from 3PM to 6PM. 1.4 Survey Locations A map of the survey corridors is included on Figure 1-1. The corridors are as follows: Washington Boulevard (in Belpre, OH) from 5th and Ann Street in Parkersburg, WV to SR 339 west of Belpre, OH. OH SR 60 (in Marietta, OH) from the intersection of SR 7 (Pike Street) and Wayne Street to the intersection with Colegate Drive. SR 7 from Court/Lafayette Streets (in Marietta, OH) to Dimex Corporation in Reno, OH. Although this Report does not include travel time and delay survey information for WV, the following corridors are included in that Report: Introduction 1-2

Emerson Avenue from 30th Street to Cypress St. in Parkersburg. Murdoch/Grand Central Avenue o Northbound from 8th and Ann Streets in Parkersburg, WV to 28th Street in Vienna, WV. o Southbound from 28th Street in Vienna, WV to 4th and Ann Streets in Parkersburg, WV. 7th Street from the I-77 interchange to Quincy Street in Parkersburg, WV.

2.0 Travel Time and Delay Procedures The following sub-sections describe the purpose, methodologies, and analysis procedures utilized in the development of this Report for the OH corridors. 2.1 Purpose As described in Section 1.0 of this report, travel time and delay are measures of transportation system performance. Travel time and delay surveys are conducted to evaluate the quality of traffic movement along a roadway and determine the locations, types, and extent of traffic delays by using a moving test vehicle. There are many uses for the data generated by this Report, including: Comparison of operational conditions before and after an intersection or roadway improvement. Prioritization of system improvements. Determining Level of Service (LOS) of a roadway or intersection. Determining the need for improvements such as traffic signal timing, safety, traffic channelization, or the addition of turn lanes. The identification of traffic congestion and potential causes. Generating travel-time contour maps. 2.2 Definitions The following definitions are commonly used in transportation studies including this Report: Control Point (CP): Control points are pre-determined locations along the corridor, which serve as data collection sites to indicate the start, intermediate, and end locations where the cumulative time of travel is documented. Delay (D): The elapsed time (in seconds) spent driving at a speed less than 10 mph. Travel Time and Delay Procedures 2-1

Travel Time: The time taken by a vehicle to traverse a given segment of street or highway. Running Time (RT): The time a vehicle is actually in motion (or moving faster than a pre-designated speed) while traversing a given segment of street or highway. Distance: The length of a link or the length of a corridor (in miles). Running Speed (RS): The test vehicle s average speed (in miles per hour) while the vehicle is in motion (does not include delay time), which can be calculated by the formula: RS = Dis tan ce TravelTime Delay Travel Speed: The distance traveled divided by the travel time. Space-Mean Speed: The segment distance divided by mean travel time over the segment of several vehicles, or of a single vehicle completing several trips. Operational Delay: The component of delay caused by the presence and interference of other traffic. This type of delay might be in the form of side friction, where other traffic interferes with the traffic stream (e.g., parking maneuvers) or in the form of internal friction, where the interference takes place within the traffic stream (e.g., encountering a reduction in capacity). Fixed Delay: It is the component of delay caused by traffic control devices which is independent of traffic volume and operational delay. Stopped Time Delay: It is the part of delay when the vehicle is not moving (or moving slower than a pre-designated speed). Travel Time Delay: It is the difference between actual travel time and travel time based on a vehicle traversing the study segment at an average speed equal to that for uncontested traffic flow on the segment. 2.3 Survey Methodology For this and previous Reports, the Average Speed Test Car method was utilized to conduct travel time and delay surveys. This method utilizes a test vehicle to traverse the Travel Time and Delay Procedures 2-2

corridors to measure or time the travel time and delay. The test vehicle contains a driver and a passenger to collect data. The test vehicle driver moves with the traffic flow utilizing the floating car technique. The floating car technique requires the driver to move with the flow of traffic, safely passing as many vehicles as pass the test vehicle. As mentioned in Section 1.4 of this Report, travel time and delay surveys or runs were conducted during the AM and PM peak hour traffic times. Surveys were conducted during Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday (excluding holidays) to avoid unusual traffic conditions. Travel time and delay is timed by a stopwatch and recorded by the test vehicle passenger. For travel time, the passenger records the stopwatch reading each time a control point is traversed. The amount of travel time required to reach each point is a reflection of traffic volume and congestion. To facilitate historical comparisons, the control points utilized within the corridors have remained essentially the same as in previous reports. Some intermediate control points have been added to corridors where appropriate. For travel delay, the test vehicle passenger records the amount of time, location, and cause of delay when the test vehicle slows to a speed of 10 MPH or less. 2.4 Analysis The average cumulative travel times were calculated for each corridor and plotted on graphs. These graphs also contain a depiction of the unimpeded travel time or the amount of travel time required for a vehicle to travel at the posted speed limit. Unimpeded travel times were computed by dividing the distance between control points by the posted speed limit of a corridor. The graphs were examined to identify locations where the actual travel time varied significantly from travel time at speed limit. For example, when the slope of a line depicting actual travel time was greater than the slope of a line depicting unimpeded travel time, the test vehicle was delayed. Conversely, if two graphs were parallel, the test vehicle was traveling at or near the speed limit. To provide additional information, the Travel Time and Delay Procedures 2-3

average cumulative travel time from the previous Report is also shown on the same graph. 2.5 Average Speeds Average speeds were calculated using the standard equation for rate of motion: Speed = Distance / Time The graphs illustrate the average speed between control points for the most current runs, the average speed between control points from the last survey, and speed limit. Average speed can be used to measure level of service (LOS) for the entire corridor as well as between control points. The average speed between control points can also help identify areas that may be experiencing traffic flow problems. Average speed from the previous Report is shown for historical comparison. 2.6 Delay at Specific Locations The delay data consists of duration (actual time the vehicle was moving at 10 MPH or less), location, direction of travel, and cause (signal, pedestrian, turning vehicle, etc.) of each delay encountered by the test vehicle. The total delay for the data collection dates was computed for each direction of travel and then used to calculate the average delay per test run. The average delay should give an indication of the amount of delay that can be expected when driving the route during the hours studied. The percentage of total delay by location was also computed for each corridor and test date. Travel Time and Delay Procedures 2-4

3.0 Travel Time and Delay Analysis 3.1 OH SR 618 or Washington Boulevard The OH SR 618 or Washington Boulevard Corridor was studied from OH SR 339 in Belpre, Ohio to the intersection of 4 th /Ann Streets just beyond the Parkersburg-Belpre Bridge in Parkersburg, WV. Ten control points were utilized along the 5.4 miles of the corridor: OH SR 339, the Kraton warning light, Farson Street, Middle Street, the Belpre Plaza shopping center, Lee Street, Stone Road, Maple Street, Main Street, and 4 th /Ann Streets (EB) or 5 th /Ann Streets (WB). These control points were utilized in previous studies and are illustrated in Figure 3-1. 3.1.1 Historical Travel Time, Speeds, and Delay Table 3-1 is a comprehensive summary of travel time and delay data that has been collected from FY00 to FY09. As noted in the table travel time data was not available in FY05 and collected data was incomplete in FY07. This information was omitted from the graphic depictions of this data contained in Figure 3-2 to Figure 3-4 to demonstrate this data in the most effective manner. Travel time and delay data was collected in FY08, which allows for previous year comparisons in the latter Sections of this report. The EB AM average travel time trends fluctuate between 543.0 seconds and 654.0 seconds. There has been a general improvement in average travel time between FY04 and FY09. This is reflective of the average travel speeds for EB AM traffic. However, travel delay has remained fairly steady from FY03 to FY09. WB AM average travel times ranged from 507.0 seconds to 606.0 seconds. Travel speeds have improved from FY06 to FY09. The lowest average travel speed was 26.8 mph in FY04. The highest was 36.6 mph in FY06. Average travel delay per run decreased from FY03 to FY08 with a slight increase in FY09. Travel Time and Delay Analysis OH SR 618 3-1

Average travel times in the PM runs in the EB and WB directions were in similar ranges from 540 seconds (EB PM) to 630 seconds (WB PM). However, EB PM runs did not follow the historic trend lines of the other surveys. Travel time decreased in FY03, with an apparent increase in travel delay and decrease in average travel speed. WB PM runs exhibited the same trend as other runs with an increase from FY00 to FY04, and then improved travel time from FY04 to FY09. Travel Time and Delay Analysis OH SR 618 3-2

The total WB AM average travel times for the current and previous years were slightly longer than the total unimpeded travel time, but were slightly better than the unimpeded travel time to the Farson Street intersection. This is also evident in the travel speed graphs, where speeds averaged higher than the posted speed limit.

3.1.3 Analysis of Travel Speed Graphical depictions of the average travel speeds for the EB and WB directions in the AM and PM peak hours can be found on Figures 3-9 through 3-12. EB AM and EB PM average travel speed graphs show similar spikes in travel time, which surpass the posted speed limit from the shopping center to Lee Street, Maple Street to Main Street, and the segment on the Parkersburg-Belpre Bridge. Conversely, the WB AM and WB PM the same spikes occurred, with the addition of elevated speeds from Middle Street to Farson Street. These speeds are correlative to the average travel time comparisons between the survey data and the unimpeded travel time calculations. Travel Time and Delay Analysis OH SR 618 3-9

3.1.4 Analysis of Travel Delay In the EB direction, the largest peak hour delay was attributed to Main Street in the AM and Lee Street in the PM. However, both Main Street and Lee Street were the top two delay locations during both peak hours. In the WB AM, Middle Street comprised the most delay along the corridor. This was preceded by the Stone Road and Main Street intersections. During the PM surveys, the Main Street intersection was responsible for 51% of the total average delay.

3.2 Ohio State Route 7 The OH SR 7 corridor is located in Marietta, Ohio and consists of 10 control points from Acme Street to the south Dimex Corporation entrance. The control points utilized are at Acme Street, the I-77 NB exit, Cogswell Lane, Capt D Seeley Drive, CR 344, TWP 345, CR 9, CR 20, Kardex, and the Dimex S entrance. The corridor extends from the north to south and is a total of 4.45 miles in length. The corridor is shown with its respective control points in Figure 3-17. This corridor was successfully studied last in April 2006 for the FY05-FY06 report. Data is not available for this corridor subsequent to that report as a consequence of staffing changes within WWW and construction activities on OH SR 7. Currently, OH SR 7 is being widened from two lanes to four lanes from the I-77 interchange through to Reno, Ohio. Therefore, a travel time and delay survey could not be conducted for the FY09 report. 3.2.1 Historical Travel Time and Delay Comparisons A summary of historic data from FY01 to FY06 has been prepared and presented in Table 3-2. A graphical depiction of this information has been provided in Figure 3-18 to Figure 3-20. Travel Time and Delay Analysis OH SR 7 3-15

3.3 Ohio State Route 60 The OH SR 60 corridor is located in Marietta, Ohio and consists of 12 control points along its 3.25 mile length. The corridor extends from Wayne Street (in the south) to Colegate Drive (in the north) along OH SR 60. The control points utilized include Wayne Street, 7 th Street/Pike Street/Green Street, the Williamstown Bridge intersection, 4 th Street, 3 rd Street, Butler Street, Putnam Street, Scammel Street, Washington Street, Marion Street, Davis Drive, and Colegate Drive. These intersections were also utilized in the previous Reports and are labeled on Figure 3-21. 3.3.1 Historical Travel Time and Delay Comparisons A comprehensive summary of the travel time and delay data that has been collected from FY00 to FY09 can be found in Table 3-3. Travel time and delay was not collected in FY08 due to transitions in WWW staffing. Therefore, the previous year comparisons referenced in this section of the report are from FY07. A graphical representation of the historic data contained in Table 3-3 can be found in Figure 3-22, Figure 3-23, and Figure 3-24. The total average travel time trends have been similar over time in the NB and SB directions. Travel times during the AM and PM runs in the NB and SB directions have historically undulated from a low in the beginning, with an increase in time through FY04/FY06, back to lows similar to those of the FY01 surveys. NB and SB AM travel times were similar as were the NB and SB PM survey times, with a strong fluctuation between the FY04/FY06 survey years. This trend is also evident in the average travel speed data. Over time there has been a slight decrease in the average travel speeds throughout the corridor. In correlation to these findings, the average travel delay per run has undulated in an equivalent fashion to the average travel time and average travel speed.

Throughout the survey, travel times in FY09 were longer than the previous survey. Unimpeded travel time is nearly 3 minutes less than the total travel time tracked in the FY09 survey. This difference was closer to 4 minutes during the NB PM survey. Additionally, the FY09 NB PM results were slightly better than those of the FY07 runs. The results of the SB AM runs were similar for both the FY09 and FY07 surveys. Both totals were approximately 2.5 minutes longer than the unimpeded travel time. While the results were close for the SB PM surveys, there was less than one minutes difference between the FY09 survey and the FY07 survey, with the former maintaining an increase Travel Time and Delay Analysis OH SR 60 3-24

in travel time. When compared to unimpeded travel time, the FY09 actual survey time was approximately 3.5 minutes longer. Figures 3-25 through 3-28 illustrate the cumulative average travel times for the OH SR 60 Corridor. Travel Time and Delay Analysis OH SR 60 3-25

3.3.3 Analysis of Travel Speed Average travel speeds throughout the OH SR 60 corridor demonstrate similar highs and lows amongst the FY09 and FY07 surveys, which correlates to the overall delay experienced during those runs. Overall and in succinct with the travel time data, travel speeds have decreased in FY09 in comparison to FY07. Travel speeds in the NB PM are also reflective of the travel times. As travel time shows improvement in FY09, so have travel speeds increased. Travel speeds were below the posted speed limit in the SB direction during both the AM and PM peak hours. While FY09 AM travel times closely resembled FY07 travel times, the same is not true of the average travel speeds exhibited in the results. This points to travel delays as the probable cause for increasing travel times. Graphical depictions of the average travel speeds for the NB and SB directions in the AM and PM peak hours on WV RT 14 can be found on Figures 3-29 through 3-32.
