Economic, Lifestyle/Demographic, Technology, Environment Drivers organized into three Greater Growth Scenarios with an equal amount of additional employment and population growth in each. Control totals, and assumptions about the drivers, translated through “Levers” in the land use and travel demand models.

Scenario Narratives
11
Greater Growth on the Water
Growth in water-oriented activity. Port of Virginia becomes even more competitive with freight more multimodal. More dispersed housing locations. Moderate assumptions for CAV adoption and network adaptation.
Greater Growth in Urban Centers
Significant economic
- diversification. Low space
requirements per job. Large role for “digital port.” New professionals prefer to live/work in urban settings. High level of CV adoption and low auto
- wnership/high TNC mode.
Greater Suburban/Greenfield Growth
Growth is suburban/ exurban, but growth includes walkable mixed-use centers. Port of Virginia becomes even more
- competitive. “Digital port” brings
additional jobs. Housing is more
- suburban. High level of AV
adoption and network adaptation.
NOTE: Sea Level Rise assumed as 3 ft. in all Scenarios
Test greater cross-harbor travel in particular. Test more urban and multimodal travel patterns. Test more overall regional travel.

Land Use Modeling for Greater Growth Scenarios
18
- 2045 land use map (place types and
locations) was validated by localities (based
- n each locality’s Comprehensive Plan)
- Differentiation in growth allocations for each
scenario was achieved through:
- Using Suitability Factors to guide
growth spatially
- A separate suitability map and factors
were developed based on each scenario narrative

Land Use Modeling Conclusions
24
- The results of the Suitability Factor calibrations yielded growth
allocation patterns that generally matched the Scenario Narratives
- There was sufficient differentiation between the scenario modeling
results to provide a good platform for travel demand model testing and for resilience testing of transportation alternatives
- If additional growth was added to the models, it is hard to predict
what the impacts would be on the land use model results and the relationship between additional growth and model results is not linear

Travel Demand Modeling Conclusions
35
- When comparing the 2045 Baseline scenarios, the model estimates
validate well to the input parameters that regulate the effects of technology on induced demand and mode shares.
- Without greater growth and considerations for induced demand as a
result of technology, there is a significant degradation in regional network level-of-service moving from 2017 travel conditions to 2045 with the baseline land use. Regional delay increases by over 200%. This delay is most likely muting some of the differences we can measure for the greater growth scenarios.
- Average vehicle trip lengths are trending shorter for the Urban and
Suburban scenarios. This trend is reinforced by the prevalence of zero-passenger vehicles in these scenarios.
Travel Demand Modeling Conclusions
36
- Moderate assumptions for CAV adoption. Model estimate at 28%.
- Greater demand for cross harbor travel. Model estimate for
increased delay at 14% compared with 7-8% for other scenarios.
Growth on the Water
- High level of CAV adoption. Model estimate at 38%.
- High TNC (MaaS) usage; multimodal travel. Model estimate at
52%.
- Low auto ownership. Model estimates for increased vehicle trips
at 7% and is the lowest of all scenarios.
Growth in Urban Centers
- High level of CAV adoption. Model estimate at 70%.
- More overall regional travel. Model estimates for increased
person trips at 11% and is the greatest of all scenarios.
Suburban/Greenfield Growth
