Current Studies
The SAWMPO Small Area Studies assist member jurisdictions by examining site or area-specific needs identified in the 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan. Studies evaluate current and future conditions, and develop recommendations to advance projects from the planning concept to the funding application stage.
The SAWMPO partners with VDOT, DRPT, its member jurisdictions, and the public on each study. Project studies may address issues such as:
- Roadway capacity
- Safety and operational improvements
- Bike and pedestrian planning
- Planning and design of new roadways
The SAWMPO is currently conducting the Frontier Drive Safety, Operations, and Multimodal Corridor Study
An evaluation of safety, access management, operations, and multimodal connectivity along Frontier Drive between US 11 (Lee Highway) and Richmond Avenue (US 250) in the City of Staunton and Augusta County.
Completed studies are available under Transportation Studies > Past Studies.
