2040 Horizon TDM

2040 Horizon Travel Demand Model El Paso, Texas Working directly with the El Paso MPO, TxDOT El Paso District, and TxDOT Transportation Planning and Programming (TPP), DCCM completed a total redesign and redevelopment of the El Paso MPO TDM to bring it up to state-of-the-practice standards. DCCM also improved model reporting and production of level-of-service measures in sufficient detail to support air quality conformity analysis that used the newly deployed MOVES mobile source emissions software. To accomplish this, DCCM carried out the following transportation planning and analysis services: Developed the model architecture necessary to satisfy the planning requirements for the region Incorporated updated demographic and employment base year estimates and future year forecasts (created by DCCM under a separate project) into the travel demand model Verified the base-year network Developed the forecast-year network Developed and tested model components and calibrated model components Validated and implemented the overall model user interface Using the redesigned model, DCCM performed testing and analysis of forecast year transportation scenarios for the El Paso 2040 MTP update. DCCM also performed a transit onboard survey designed to meet FTA best practice guidelines and provide data capable of supporting calibration of a model for use in FTA New Starts and Small Starts investment-grade transit corridor analysis.

Grant Support and Development

Grant Development and Support Statewide, Texas DCCM serves as a key member of the consultant team supporting the TxDOT Federal Affairs Division in the development of competitive applications for federal discretionary grant programs. These efforts span major programs such as Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD), Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA), Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE), and Promoting Resilient Operations for Transformative, Efficient, and Cost-Saving Transportation (PROTECT).  DCCM’s role encompasses four primary areas of responsibility: Project Evaluation and Eligibility Review: DCCM evaluates candidate projects submitted by TxDOT districts and divisions to determine eligibility under federal funding notices. This includes assessing project readiness, alignment with federal priorities, and consistency with TxDOT’s statewide goals and strategic objectives. Grant Application Development: For projects meeting eligibility criteria, DCCM prepares full grant applications, including narrative development, technical documentation, and supporting analyses. Notably, DCCM prepared a 2023 PROTECT grant application for a Statewide Flood Warning System valued at $3.4 million. Analytical Support and Project Justification: DCCM conducts the technical analyses required to strengthen and justify grant applications, including economic impact assessments, travel demand forecasts, sensitivity analyses, and other economic studies. In 2021, DCCM contributed to the successful RAISE grant application for The Loop – Trinity Forest Spine Trail in Dallas, securing funding to advance a 50‑mile urban trail network. Project Pipeline Development: DCCM supports the creation of a statewide “project pipeline,” a dashboard tool designed to identify, filter, and prioritize strong candidates for future federal grant opportunities. This tool streamlines decision‑making and enhances TxDOT’s ability to strategically position projects for competitive funding. Beyond these core tasks, DCCM planners and data analysts apply their expertise in FAST Act performance measures to track and report project outcomes relative to national goals and federal performance management requirements, key components of the discretionary grant selection process. DCCM also prepares program‑level opinions of probable cost (OPCC) and integrates these with project analyses to perform benefit‑cost analyses (BCA) consistent with BUILD and other federal grant criteria, ensuring that applications are both technically sound and competitively positioned.

Transit-Oriented Development Grant

Transit-Oriented Development Grant McAllen, Texas Metro McAllen, the public transit provider for the City of McAllen, asked DCCM to help ucaate inelr snondance transit planas an extension or our scoob or services tortnat project, DCCM was tasked with supporting the City’s application for funding under FTAs competitive Pilot Program for Transit-Oriented Development Planning. Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) can help adress challenges such as affordablehousing, traffic congestion, and environmental sustainability. Through the integration of l land use and transportation planning, TOD strategies seek to foster vibrant communities where residents have seamless access to various modes of transportation and amenities. With the help of DCCM, the City of McAllen was successtul, receiving $500,000 to facilitate the planning of TOD around two key transit stations linked by four local bus routes, including a proposed bus rapid transit (BRT) corridor. The plan aims to increase transit ridership through the development of hosing and walkability improvements near Central Station in downtown McAllen along with potential improvements around the newly built North Transfer Station. The goal of these new developments is to increase mobility, spark economic development, and ultimately create lively, accessible neighborhoods.

Carmel Drive & Pennsylvania Street Roundabout

Carmel Drive and Pennsylvania Street Roundabout Carmel, Indiana DCCM replaced the previously signal-controlled intersection at Carmel Drive and Pennsylvania Street. The goal of the design was to create a more consistent and efficient corridor for the traveling public. Our team focused on providing a design that reduced costly impacts. This roundabout’s footprint avoided an existing parking lot and multiple utilities, saving the City millions of dollars in utility box relocations and land acquisition. Upon installation, the roundabout was able to provide an efficient flow throughout the corridor and for neighboring roundabouts.

Vilano Pier Floating Dock

Vilano Beach Floating Pier Vilano Beach, Florida DCCM provided engineering design services for a 100-foot floating dock installed perpendicular to the Vilano Pier in St. Johns County, Florida, enhancing boater access to the Vilano Town Center. The project required careful evaluation of challenging site conditions, including heavy boat traffic, wind-driven wave action, and strong tidal currents. Our team conducted a comprehensive review of existing conditions and anticipated loading requirements to inform the development of performance-based design specifications for the floating dock system and associated gangways, ensuring long-term functionality and durability. In collaboration with subconsultants, DCCM supported the project through bathymetric surveying and water quality analysis to assess water circulation and flushing characteristics critical to the dock’s performance and environmental compliance. The team also coordinated permitting efforts with regulatory agencies, including the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
