Transit Consulting Network (TCNI) has been selected by the Saipan, China Commonwealth Office of Transit Authority and the Commonwealth Public Transportation Advisory Board to conduct a feasibility study into the Saipan Fixed-Flex Route and Paratransit.
According to Thomas J Camacho, special assistant for public transportation and chairman of the transportation board, the study includes a comprehensive analysis of past and existing transportation systems, existing and future land use patterns, travel demand patterns and roadway congestion issues. TCNI will also explore service delivery options that offer the greatest mobility and cost-effective system.
The study will also identify high interest locations and points that include shopping, education, recreation, health care, employment, and faith-based services, as well as the improvements necessary for projected long-term expansions of the CNMI transportation systems. The geographic assessment shall include existing roads, traffic data over the past three years, peak traffic times, traffic choke points, and areas of high occurrence of accidents.
The study is expected to be completed by December.
