The Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) has identified roadways that are beginning to experience capacity issues, and the Plan has also identified various roadways or areas for more detailed study.  The purpose of these studies is to prepare recommendations that will address current and projected capacity issues.  Development pressures in the MPO area have resulted in the governing bodies of local jurisdictions requesting that the MPO pursue these studies.  To date, four (4) corridors have been identified for more detailed studies:

1. Pemberton Drive Corridor Study (completed)
2. East Side Corridor Study (completed)
3. Mill Street/Riverside Drive (soon to be completed)
4. U.S. Route 13/Bi-State Blvd/Foskey Lane Planning Study (completed)

In addition to the above-mentioned corridor studies, the S/W MPO is also in the process of preparing a freight study, safety study, and traffic impact study.

1. MPO Freight Study (study underway)
2. Delmarva Freight Study (study underway)
3. Shore Transit Traffic Impact Study (study underway)
4. Beaglin Park Drive Safety Study (study underway)
