  2. The Charge • Legislative Directive • In 2010, Oregon Legislature passed SB 1059 • Planning to reduce GHG emissions in transportation • IncludesStatewide Transportation Strategy (STS) • Aid in achieving Oregon’s GHG emissions reduction goals • 75% reduction below 1990 levels by 2050 • Interpretation • Look out to 2050 • Strive for ways transportation and land use can create better options for Oregonians, enhance livable communities, and promote health by searching for innovative solutions to reduce the potential impacts of climate change • Highlight approaches that show the greatest potential for helping us get to where we want to get

  3. The Pieces Look into the future Out to 2050

  4. The Phases

  5. Research and Analysis The Development Phase I Evaluate potential outcomes Test transportation and land use options Inputs Level of intensity Vehicle Fuel Efficiency ITS and Technology Pricing and Markets Land Use Change Select the mix of strategies with the best potential outcomes (Recommendations) Mode Share Outputs GHG Emissions Energy Consumption Travel and System Performance Economic Impact Land Use and Resource Impacts Public Health Impacts Infrastructure and Implementation Costs Potential Implementation Risks

  6. The Recommendations – Ground Phase I • More Efficient Vehicles • Cleaner Fuels • Eco-Driving • Mixed-Use Development • Car Sharing • Pay-As-You-Drive Insurance • Transit Growth

  7. The Recommendations – Freight Phase I • More efficient freight vehicles • Efficient industrial land use • Efficient mode choices • Idle reduction technology

  8. The Recommendations – Air Phase I • Reduce carbon intensity of aviation fuel • Optimize airline operations and fleet management • Accelerate implementation of FAA “Next Generation”

  9. Phase I The Vision Broad vision for 2050 Description of what our future could look like and the benefits of getting there – designed to generate excitement about what the future could be. • The same actions we can employ to reduce carbon emissions also allow us to: • accommodate new residents • reduce traffic delay • maintain a healthy environment • improve public health • accommodate movement of goods • reduce dependency on foreign energy • save Oregonians money.

  10. The Findings Phase I • Technology is a significant strategy for all travel markets • That said, there is no silver bullet • There are low-cost short-term strategies we can start soon • e.g. education around eco-driving • Some strategies are complicated and need further analysis • We must all work together • Partnerships and collaboration is key

  11. The STS – What is it? Phase I • Identifies potential approaches for substantially reducing GHG while fostering other societal goals for Oregon • Charts a general course; can adapt to unforeseen opportunities • Is not regulatory • Does not assign responsibility • Each jurisdiction will have flexibility in what they choose to do • We can try to make it easier for some things to occur • We are willing to partner and work together

  12. The Next Steps Phase I • Prepare the STS document for outreach • Go to the OTC prior to outreach • Start outreach • Get feedback on key priorities • OTC public hearing • Meet with STS committee • Take to OTC for adoption April May July August October

  13. Overall Next Steps – Phase II and III • Phase II: FY-2012 • Develop Implementation Plan • Economic assessment of the STS actions • Identification of performance measures, policy changes, programs, timelines, and responsibilities and partnership opportunities • Begin implementing near-term actions • Phase III: FY-2013 – on-going • Implement mid- and long-term actions • Assessment and adjustment timeline & elements • Monitor and adjust as needed
