MOBILITY 2030 DEVELOPMENT Congestion is bad and getting worse, and traditional funds cannot keep up The Dallas-Fort Worth Region has a need by 2030 for $129.5 billion to eliminate the most severe congestion and rebuild aging infrastructure Construction costs have risen 10% per year recently Texas HB 3588 and HB 2702 have provided new development and financial tools Regional Transit Initiative proposes 0.5% sales tax increase Partnerships are part of the key to solving the problem
MOBILITY 2030 HIGHLIGHTS Financially-Constrained Recommendations Includes $9.6 billion of rail recommendations, including $3 billion of Regional Transit Initiative (RTI) rail lines Includes $29.8 billion of roadway recommendations, including $16.8 billion of Innovative Funding Strategies Includes additional unfunded roadway needs for illustrative purposes Includes policy-level discussion of alternative future and demographic considerations Includes Environmental Mitigation Strategies Includes Safety and Security policies and programs Includes incorporation of Trans-Texas Corridor (TTC-35) into recommendations

IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PLANNING PROCESS Importance of Financial Constraint Importance of Needs Based Plan MPO – Metropolitan Programming Organization Increased Decentralization – Impact on State and National Transportation System Project Programming without Federal Requirements
IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC POLICY Tollroad Impact on Suburbanization – Leveling Role of Peak Period Pricing on Mobility Goals Role of Dynamic Pricing with Guarantees on Reliability of Service Equity of Costs – Value of Time, Regressiveness, or “Opportunity Costs” Equity of Benefits - “Near Neighbor, Near Time Frame” - Toll Users
IMPLICATIONS FOR INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS Maturity of State DOT – MPO Relationship Greater Role of Private Sector Greater MPO Role in Policy Setting – Business Terms Impact on Planning Funds, Research, and Federal Process Impact on U.S. DOT Partnerships are Key to Success
