Developing the 2040 Regional Transportation Plan

CHALLENGES & TRENDS
Many Challenges to Address

Our regional transportation plan must
address many needs:
   –   Mobility and access
   –   Economic competitiveness
   –   Safety and security
   –   Environmental impacts and quality of life
   –   Maintenance and operations of existing
       network
…all in a climate of declining resources!

Notas do Editor

  1. Welcome and acknowledge TPO/RPA Executives
  2. Welcome and acknowledge TPO/RPA Executives
  3. Mention 3 departments and several staff working on this effort, encourage attendees to meet everyone after the meeting. Have consultants introduce themselves then introductions of attendees asking for them to mention if they have a particular transportation interest or link in their organization to transportation issues.
  4. Explain the TPO, geographic representation, and process
  5. The purpose of a plan is multifaceted and should consider all of these elements and more.
  6. In thinking about the big picture of planning for our future transportation system, we must balance our wants with our needs. There are a variety of transportation modes and facilities, but this plan, though it incorporates planning of air, rail, and waterway, is funded specifically to address the function of streets, highway network, and transit systems.Sources:InrixFreight StudyCensusUS Dept Health and Human Service Administration on agingBrookingsUniversity of Illinois Study on link time in car to obesity
  7. Lots goes into the development of the plan’s themes, goals, and strategies. From this we begin to prepare the revenue forecasting, assess scenario planning outcomes, and begin project evaluation. Before the plan can be drafted projects must be prioritized to ensure what the feds refer to as a “financially feasible” plan. A draft is presented for review, the plan is revised and submitted to the public for comment and time for response/re-evaluation of project selection, and then a final document submitted for federal air quality conformity approval which is due in March of 2014.

  9. Need an approach that addresses the varying perspectives not just those that attend workshops and charrettes
  10. Tracy
  11. TracyOverview of federal requirements for metropolitan transportation plan development
  12. TracyAfter four years and 9 extensions, new transportation authorization bill finally signed into law. Overview of MAP-21.27 month extension as opposed to 6-year funding bill.Not a major overhaul, but several noteworthy items..
  13. TracyHighlight performance-based plan requirements of MAP-21, and why this shift.Overview of how this will be phased in..
  14. PeterAs Melissa noted early on, we have initiated our next major transportation plan update..We have asked you here today, to be a part of that process…to help us navigate and develop our next transportation plan.This is all part of our continuing cycle to address our region’s needs…
  15. Peter..and those needs are many.Start to bring in Chattanooga specifics, outlining the many needs of the region in the context of dwindling resources.
  16. PeterMake sure to do quick overview of federal funding programs…Overview of funding issues at national level through HTF. Should also hit on funding decline at state and local level as well.Note that historically 80% of project funding from the feds…this trend is obviously changing…shift towards non-federal sources of funds, etc
  17. PeterChattanooga does currently have a plan in place – the 2035 RTP. This plan made significant strides in striking a balance between modes of transportation, funding for maintaining existing system versus new capacity, etc…The plan does make progress towards addressing mobility needs…setting foundation for more multimodal system…system preservation…etc..In addition…created strong platform for addressing needs emphasized by federal government through MAP-21 (preservation, sustainability, ..)Making progress towards areas encouraged through legislation…
  18. PeterHowever, significant challenges continue….growing needs (e.g., aging population, system preservation needs) and even more limited revenue in the future..Reason we are stressing needs versus funding is strategic project prioritization will really be critical in moving this plan forward…finding right balance within limited funds…
  19. PeterAs a result, we need to shift to a new way of doing business…doing more with less…
  20. TimOne of the ways Chattanooga is addressing these challenges is through exploring the impacts of different land development alternatives, as a means to help us get the most out of our existing system…To better inform our planning…To better educate the public on relationship between land use decision making and transportation choices…etc
  21. http://www.flickr.com/photos/tasuki/3503304405/Surprise!! Most plans are transportation focusedMAP 21 Legislation(h) Scope of Planning Process.--(1) In general.--The metropolitan planning process for a metropolitan planning area under this section shall provide for consideration of projects and strategies that will(A) support the economic vitality of the metropolitan area, especially by enabling global competitiveness, productivity, and efficiency; (B) increase the safety of the transportation system for motorized and nonmotorized users; (C) increase the security of the transportation system for motorized and nonmotorized users; (D) increase the accessibility and mobility of people and for freight; (E) protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, improve the quality of life, and promote consistency between transportation improvements and State and local planned growth and economic development patterns; (F) enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system, across and between modes, for people and freight; (G) promote efficient system management and operation; and (H) emphasize the preservation of the existing transportation system.

  27. Map showing just the transportation network. Any guesses where this is?
  28. Hamilton Place Mall, a major regional shopping destination
  29. Main points: land use context matters, land use context changes, land use influences the transport network, the transport network influences land uses
  30. The connection between land use and transportation is everywhere once you start looking for it. The connections aren’t always straightforward and can be complex at times. Lets play a game to illustrate…Stump the Planner: A Land Use / Transportation GameName a land use and I’ll name a transportation impactName a transportation model, facility and I’ll name a land use impact
  31. New development in anywhere USA, on the outskirts of the city. Increased traffic from development may require improving transportation facilities.
  32. What if the development looks like this…
  33. Or this….
  34. Or this….The type, density and design of the land uses start to become very important to transportation network
  35. But what happens once the transportation facilities are improved (widened)?
  36. Hope I’ve convinced you about the importance of the land use / transportation connection. So how do we deal with this when planning future transportation projects….Need better tools and processes for decision making. Enter scenario planning…….
  37. Enter scenario planningScenario Planning is a tool / process for identifying and assessing future growth alternatives. It provides a framework for developing a shared vision for the future by analyzing various forces that affect communities.
  38. Scenario planning allows you to ask a series of what if questions and compare potential future scenarios
  39. Scenario planning allows you to consider other impacts, not traditionally associated with transportation planningLivability MOE graphicEveryone has a different definition of livability. Livability is how much to you experience and enjoy a city. (Tim’s definition)You can’t experience the city if you don’t go out into it or can’t afford to live in it.http://www.flickr.com/photos/luiggie_san/5111743731/sizes/z/in/photostream/

  42. Why will the land use transport connection be used in the planning process?How will the land use transport connection be used in the planning process?Some goals unachievable with just transportation, need land use policies as wellEvaluate projects based on desired land usesEducate on the land use transportation connection
  43. TracyWe’ve hit on the multiple challenges that must be addressed as part of plan development, and some of the more innovative ways this region will be tackling its transportation issues. As we proceed into plan development, we need a structured way to link the investments that we make through the plan, back to our regional needs. We have committed to a performance-based plan approach to help us do this.
  44. TracyCritical that we proceed through plan development with clear organizing principles in place ensure transparent decision making process in an extremely competitive funding environmentA means to help us balance often competing needsTransparencyEnsure the investments made at the tail end align with needs identified early in the processOverview of steps of performance-based plan development as mechanism to do this.2035 RTP performance frameworkSet of goals and objectives that align with federal planning factorsSystems-level performance measures applied to evaluate draft 2035 plan2040 RTP – evolve our processMore strategic wording and focusAll steps includedEnsure alignment with new MAP-21 requirementsPerformance measures to support systems and project-level evaluation.
