Session Objectives • Clarify the Performance Measures and their applications • Evaluate effectiveness through case studies • Provide feedback on appropriateness, clarity and consequences
® ® Smart Mobility Performance Measures (part 1) 3
® ® Smart Mobility Performance Measures (part 2) 4
Case Studies • RTP with SCS (SB 375 Sustainable Communities Strategy) • Context Sensitive Design • Corridor System Management Plan
Case #1: RTP + SCS • Coordinate transportation (RTP) and land use planning (SCS) to achieve: • acceptable levels of travel accessibility • regional economic vitality • cost-effective infrastructure investments • minimal environmental impacts, induced travel • Conformity with AB32 and SB375 6
Case #2: Context Sensitive Design • Arterial creates barrier and economic disincentive through established community • Goal to improve safety and convenience for travelers and affected community and sustain community value 10
® ® Comparison of Alternatives 11
® ® Case #2Illustrative Performance Evaluation 12
Case #3: Management of Freeway Corridor • 50-mile transportation corridor exhibits: • traffic congestion • lack of parallel roadway capacity • transit facilities approaching ridership capacity • incomplete HOV network • gaps and barriers within the bicycle network 13
Difference in Performance Measures • Compared with CSMP, Smart Mobility measures emphasize safety and service for all modes of travel • Smart Mobility measures consider growth and travel inducement impacts of highway capacity increases, and • Resulting growth in emissions relative to climate law.
Three Questions • Are performance measures understandable and relevant to the evaluation? • Are the measures effective in determining which project alternative is most consistent with Smart Mobility principles? • Are there any biases in the set of measures to be corrected through revision to individual measures or the entire set?
