VDOT Park & Ride Lot Investment Strategies Study Step 1: Recommendations VDOT completed a P&R Lot Inventory and Usage Study from 2011-2013 http://www.virginiadot.org/projects/park_and_ride_lot_inventory_and_usage_study.asp Step 2: Priority Investment Areas (PIAs) VDOT staff compiled various data on each of the recommendations. A GIS Methodology was conducted with this data to identify Priority Investment Areas (PIAs): areas with a convergence of population density, high peak hourly traffic volumes and the proximity of the nearest existing P&R lot Major corridor that would be served by the potential P&R lot. The following data was used in this analysis: 1. 2010 Census Population Density 2. Volume per hour along routes 3. Location of existing lots 12
