Hampton Roads Military Transportation Needs Study Phase I: Highway Network Analysis (FY 2011)  Approved by HRTPO Board – September 2011. Phase II: Military Commuter Survey (FY 2012)  Approved by HRTPO Board – September 2012. Phase III: Roadways Serving the Military and Sea Level Rise/Storm Surge (FY 2013)  Builds on previous studies and related work to estimate the relative sea level rise and potential storm surge threats to the “Roadways Serving the Military” network established in Phase I. 2 / 9

Recommendations For HRTPO Board • Consider relative sea level rise/storm surge impacts when selecting future transportation projects. For Military and Supporting Sites • Encourage operators at each site to work with VDOT/Cities/Counties to develop detour plans for potentially submerged “Roadways Serving the Military”. For VDOT, Cities, and Counties • Consider latest projections for relative sea level rise/storm surge when a roadway project is designed. • Conduct further studies to determine impact on drainage systems. 9 / 9
