  1. SANDAG PERSPECTIVEs ON SB 743 Implementation 2017 AEP Institute August 4, 2017

  2. San Diego Region

  3. SANDAG Jurisdictions

  4. TODAY: Where People Live and Work 3.1 million people 1.5 million jobs 1.2 million homes

  5. 2050: Where People will Live and Work 4.1 million people 1.9 million jobs 1.5 million homes

  6. Our Changing Land Use Pattern 1999Planned Land Use 2015 Planned Land Use

  7. Open Space Preservation More than half the landin the county will bepreserved as open space 2050 1.2 millionacres 1.5 millionacres Available for Development __ Planned for Preservation __

  8. 2050: $101 Billion for More Transit Choices Five new Trolley lines 32 new Rapid lines SPRINTER express service and extension Continued COASTER double tracking Four new streetcar lines Three new intermodal transit centers

  9. 2050: 160 Miles of Additional Managed Lanes Managed Lanes Operational improvements Highway lanes New HOV and highway connectors

  10. 2050: $5 Billion forMore Biking and Walking Choices 275 miles of bikeways – More than the distance from San Ysidro to Santa Barbara

  11. Incorporating innovative technologyand maximizing our system

  12. Energy Roadmap ProgramClimate Planning Services • Access to Consultants to Prepare Customized Components of Climate Action Plans (CAPs): • GHG Inventories and Projections • Reduction Targets • GHG Reduction Policies and Implementation Measures • Benefit-Cost Analysis • Writing Sections of a CAP • Implementation Resources • Community Engagement • CEQA Considerations

  13. Regional plan exceeds sb 375 ghg emissions reduction targets ARB Emissions Reduction Targets -7% 2020 ARB Target 2035 ARB Target -13% *Targets set by State for SANDAG to reduce Per Capita CO2 Emissions from Passenger Vehicles

  14. Regional plan exceeds sb 375 ghg emissions reduction targets ARB Emissions Reduction Targets -7% 2020 ARB Target 2035 ARB Target -13% -15% 2020 SD Forward Additional Emissions Reductions 2035 SD Forward -21% *Targets set by State for SANDAG to reduce Per Capita CO2 Emissions from Passenger Vehicles *Targets set by State for SANDAG to reduce Per Capita CO2 Emissions from Passenger Vehicles

  16. PUBLIC Transit and active transportation • As a developer of public transit and active transportation projects, removal of auto delay as environmental impact will streamline CEQA process • Broaden the list of projects that do not require VMT analysis to better reflect public transit and active transportation projects • For example: • New transit capital projects • New bike or pedestrian facilities in existing rights-of-way • New Class I bike path, multi-use paths • Removal or relocation of on-street parking spaces • New transit-only and HOV lanes that support high-quality transit service

  17. Land use projects and Plans • Streamline land use projects within one-half mile of existing and planned major transit stops or high quality transit corridors • Provide more information supporting VMT threshold of 15% below regional average for residential and office projects • No analysis or definitive information showing level of VMT reduction needed to meet statewide GHG goals (AB 32, SB 375, Executive Orders) • No clear nexus between the project-level recommendation for new development and the statewide GHG policies and references governing existing and new development • Clarify and broaden definition of a land use project’s or plan’s “consistency” with an RTP/SCS

  18. managed lanes • Distinguish between “general purpose” lanes and “Managed Lanes” that promote transit, ridesharing • Managed lanes are part of SANDAG’s adopted SCS, which exceeds GHG targets and lowers VMT

  19. Technical support for sb 743 implementation • Developed technical white paper on using the SANDAG Regional Travel Demand Model to Calculate VMT • Developing methodologies to quantify the VMT benefits of TDM and TSM measures • VMT per capita per resident http://sandag.github.io/sb743/sb743_concept_map.htm • VMT per capita per employee http://sandag.github.io/sb743/sb743_concept_map_employee.htm
