Transportation Operations Management Plan
Mobility in Sussex County is critical to the county's residents and businesses and to the hundreds of thousands of visitors to the county's resorts. During the resort season, the Delaware and Maryland beaches constitute a major urban area.
Year-round demands on the county's transportation system are driven largely by agriculture and tourism. Sussex County's transportation system must also support potential evacuations due to hurricanes or other coastal weather emergencies.
Improvements recommended to reduce delays as part of this report can be summarized into three (3) broad categories.
1. Improve capacity with both major capital projects and cost-effective, near-term solutions.
2. Continue advancing DelDOT's state of science Integrated Transportation Management System.
3. Collaborate with agency partners in the transportation planning process to address impacts of Sussex County's rapid growth and understand the implications of proposed improvement strategies.
