The Henrico County Continuing, Cooperative and Comprehensive (3-C) Transportation Report Process Improvements Program is an analysis and upgrade of the methods used to produce an annual report conducted by the Department of Planning. This report forms the basis for federal highway and transit assistance in urban areas. In the spring of 2015, after completion of the 2014 report, Planning staff thoroughly examined both the methodology and base data within the program and identified process inefficiencies and opportunities for greater data accuracy. By bringing together the expertise of staff and new tools (for this assessment and redevelopment of the report), a new, practical process was implemented in the fall of 2015, and new base data was utilized. The new process realized a savings in time and money while providing greater accuracy of data.
