eNEO2050 Transportation Scenarios

Northeast Ohio is at a turning point and your input will make a valuable difference. The region is positioned to realize a new future due to its robust healthcare industry, plentiful natural resources, affordable cost of living, and abundant cultural and recreational opportunities. To maximize the region’s potential, the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency (NOACA) needs your help to update its current long-range plan, eNEO2050: An Equitable Future for Northeast Ohio.

NOACA has mapped out four possible scenarios for future transportation investment that focus particularly on workforce accessibility and equity: MAINTAIN, CAR, TRANSIT, and TOTAL. The following summaries highlight the futures realized under each scenario and how they impact the region and its people. A simple matrix outlines some key differences, and another matrix highlights key performance measures to help readers compare scenarios based on each scenario’s impact. NOACA staff also introduced the concept of “Environmental Justice Area,” which spotlights those areas of Northeast Ohio with higher concentrations of minority populations, those who live below the poverty line, or both.
