The Capitol Hill Transportation Study is an investigation of existing transportation conditions  within the Capitol Hill community of the District of Columbia, and an assessment of potential improvements to policy and infrastructure throughout the study area. The study spans all transportation modes—from pedestrian and bicycle access, to vehicular circulation, to truck and bus movements—and includes an evaluation of the impacts of proposed future development and projected regional growth on transportation infrastructure in the study area.

The study area is bounded by G Street NE on the north, Southeast Freeway on the south, 1st Street NE/SE on the west, and 19th Street NE/SE on the east.

Goals of the study include:

• Coordinate decision-making with public and agency stakeholders;

• Consider short-term, mid-term, and long-term options to enhance safety and reduce speed on residential streets;

• Identify enhancements to pedestrian and bicycle connections; and

• Assess the feasibility of converting one-way roads into two-way roads.

Introduced study goals and received comments on neighborhood and traveler concerns.

Shared results of Existing Conditions report and received citizen comments.

Present preliminary recommendations for short-, medium-, and long-term transportation improvements; receive citizen comments.

Present draft final findings and recommendations; receive citizen comments.

Major work tasks on this project include:

• Collect and evaluate traffic and transportation data, including roadway/intersection configurations, parking, transit routes and facilities, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, and truck and bus circulation. The Existing Conditions Report was completed in February, 2006, and is available on the DDOT website.

• Develop 2015 and 2030 future condition transportation scenarios based on planned local development and regional growth projections.

• Develop recommendations for improved transportation-related policies and infrastructure.
