  11. HOT Network Delivers Carpool Lanes and Congestion Insurance • HOV lanes shave 15-20 minutes off peak commutes, offering commuters a way to beat congestion • Express buses use HOV lanes to bypass traffic and provide faster, more reliable service • HOT lanes introduce pricing element into highway use by giving solo drivers option to pay to bypass congestion • Regional HOT Lane Network • I-680 Smart Carpool Lane implementation set for 2009 start-up • MTC and Caltrans to lead Regional HOT Lane Analysis during 2006

  13. Resolution 3434: Bay Area’s Vision for Transit Expansion • MTC Resolution 3434 identifies nine new rail extensions, express buses, ferry service, and enhancements to existing rail and bus corridors • Success of these transit investments depends on many factors, including supportive land uses • Transit Expansion Needed to Meet Regional Population and Job Growth Projections • $13 billion program with 85% non-federal funding • MTC adopted TOD policy in July 2005

  14. Enhancing Livability by Connecting Transportation And Land Use • Nearly 2 million people and 1.4 million jobs to be added to Bay Area • Partnerships amongst regional and local agencies needed to facilitate integration of transportation and land use • Joint Policy Committee formed to coordinateregional planning efforts and pursue implementation of the Smart Growth Vision, which was adopted in 2002 • Provide More Land-Use Planning Funds to Partners • MTC provides local planning funds through T-PLUS and TOD policy • A key ingredient to better mobility is adequate housing in the right places.
