7. Questions

8. Amanda Spencer Baseline Revenue Projections

9. Purpose • Provides an estimate of revenues expected to be available for capital improvements to 2040 • Identifies the funding gap between revenues and modal needs

10. Methodology • Projection of baseline revenues by mode • No new revenues • Business as usual – conservative estimate • Based on current year revenues and short-term budgeted revenues, grown annually at assumed rates • Converted to “real” dollars to account for inflation

11. Baseline Revenue Forecast Results Total Available 2011-2040: $27.04 Billion (in 2011 Dollars)

12. Total Available Revenue

13. Questions

14. Don Vary Developing and Evaluating Modal Scenarios – Status Update

15. Modal Scenarios • Develop different allocations of long-range plan transportation revenue • Revenue levels, investment types • Evaluate according to quantitative and qualitative criteria • Develop implementation strategies

16. Inputs • Uses plan outputs • Vision, goals, objectives • Plan performance measures • Needs, gap • Baseline revenue forecast • …And creates new inputs • Allocate fixed revenue levels into investment categories • Measures of effectiveness

17. SCMTP Scenarios • About $14.3B of $27.04B in available revenues is dedicated to current programs • Remainder ($12.7B) treated as discretionary Total Needs by Category ($billions) Program Dedications by Category ($billions)

18. SCMTP Scenario Themes • Keep the Highway Core (Baseline) – emphasis on primary (core) system • Well maintained, congestion addressed, high access to key areas and within cities • Multi-modal Core System • Maintain and expand highway, transit, rail and non-motorized system linking cities and towns

19. SCMTP Scenario Themes • Serve the Drivers – investments to spur business attraction and retention • Ports, distribution facilities, airports, leisure destinations • Right Size System • What size system will future revenue support?

20. Scenarios – Themes

21. Scenario Fulfillment of Full Capacity Needs

22. Scenario Fulfillment of Full Modernization and Preservation Needs

23. Scenario Next Steps • Analyze scenario performance according to goal areas • Summarize trade-offs and policy implementation implications

24. Measures of Effectiveness • Estimated pavement and bridge condition • Estimated travel time and vehicle operating costs • User costs • Goal needs met based on funding

28. Corinne Donahue Public Transportation

29. Big Picture • “Blueprint for the Future” • Develop statewide short & long – range plans • Updating Regional transit & coordination plans • Multimodal options/partnerships

30. Public Transportation Overview Transit Tasks

31. What have we completed? • Draft Regional Transit & Coordination Plans • 10 Regions • Draft Statewide Public Transportation & Coordination Plan • Going through internal review now

32. Regional Transit & Coordination Plans • Existing Transit Service w/in the region • Demographic Profile • Updated Coordination Data • Future Transit Needs/Demand • Constrained Financial Plan

33. Regional Transit & Coordination Report • Data Resources: • Transit provider data supplied to SCDOT annually for the OpStats report • Previous Regional Transit Plans • Transit provider Needs Survey, Dec. 2012 • SCDOT Transit Trends Report, FY2007-2011 • Locally adopted plans • Existing transit ridership • Statewide Public Transit FY2011 • 11.5M one-way trips • 416,000 Medicaid trips • 7,400 Alternate Programs (vanpool, etc.)

34. Ridership by Region

35. SC Statewide Ridership Trends

36. Statewide - Updated Human Services Coordination Plan Information • Data resources • Review of 2008 Human Services Coordination Plans • COG outreach/survey – Winter 2013 • Variety of responses • State of Coordination • Coordination Barriers/Needs • Strategies/Actions

37. Overall Coordination Summary • Since previous 2008 plan: • Some regions, forging ahead • Taking advantage of mobility manager options • Coordination trip sharing and transfers at informal locations • Continuation of coordination meetings • Some regions, little change • Some regions highly affected by statewide Medicaid brokerage system

38. Coordination Needs Summary • Transportation to/from rural areas – • limited service • hours, service area, days, etc. • Access to/from jobs • Regional fare structure • Increasing needs for elderly population • Need human service providers to be interested in coordination • Understanding of all funds to assist in paying for coordinated trips • Support from local community/elected officials for public transit and for human services transportation

39. Coordination Strategies Summary • Utilize Mobility Managers • Develop trip cost sharing • Continue coordination meetings w/ all transit providers • Continue Medicaid coordination • Pursue & coordinate technology implementation to ensure maximum efficiencies in trip planning and scheduling • Continue to pursue sustainable local funding • Look beyond regional boundaries for trip coordination

40. Vision & Goals • Comprehensive Vision/Goals/Measures for Public Transportation • State, region • SCDOT Strategic Plan • Significance • Focus at Federal level on performance levels • Examples: • Category: Mobility/System Reliability: • Percent of transit needs met • Category: Infrastructure Condition: • Percent of active duty vehicles past designated useful life
