  1. Transportation Policy Area Review (TPAR)--A suggested new approach June, 2010

  2. Presentation Outline • Guiding Principles • The Proposed TPAR Policy in a Nutshell • Proposed Process Components • Transit Process – 2020 Results • Road Process – 2020 Results • Example of Subdivision Process

  3. 1. Guiding Principles • Based on Approved Master Plans. • Process easily understood. • Seek and Include Input from Stakeholders. • Separate analysis for transit and roads. • Public – private financing of solutions. • Support economic development. • Monitor, report and adjust key elements.

  4. 2. The Proposed TPAR in a NutshellAchieving Balance • Guides how to balance transportation and development activity 10 years forward • Suggests standards of adequacy for • transit services • and road congestion • Defines a Policy Area to be in balance if it meets both adequacy standards in the 10 year period.

  5. The Proposed TPAR in a NutshellProgramming Transportation Projects • If a Policy Area not in balance, then County should program the transit services / road improvements • The programmed capital improvements must come from the Adopted and Approved Master Plans • The proposed improvements are to be funded through a public-private partnership. • Suggest a threshold of private payments before, a capital project and /or transit service program must be programmed

  6. The Proposed TPAR in a NutshellMonitoring and Reporting TPAR requires monitoring and reporting of key elements of the policy: • Development Activity • Collection of Payments • Programming / Implementation of Improvements • Annual Report • Recommendations for action to ensure the desirable balance.

  8. 1. Identify Transit Inadequacies and Solutions 2. Identify Roadway Inadequacies and Solutions 3. Cost Allocation Steps 4. Programming Public Commitments 5. Monitor and Report 3. Proposed Process Components

  9. Proposed Process for Transit • Establish Geographic Policy Area Categories • Urban • Suburban • Rural • Establish Service Factors • Transit Coverage • Peak Headways • Span of Service

  10. Identify Transit Inadequacies and Solutions

  11. 5A. ROAD PROCESS – 2020 RESULTS

  12. 10-year Dev. Act. Forecasts Summarize Roadway Policy Area and Corridor Performance No Apply Transp. Demand Model Are there future Inadequacies? Programmed Projects in CIP/CTP Iterate as Needed Yes 15 17 11 22 13 14 16 12 Prepare combinations of projects for CIP/CTP for performance and to complete within 10 years Projects not yet Programmed (State/County) Go to on slide 39 Proposed Process: Main Steps Identify Roadway* Inadequacies and Solutions • Note: Roadways include traffic operations, bikeways and walkways

  13. Standard of Roadway Performance

  14. 3B-13: Standard of Roadway Performance

  15. 4B-13: Example of one Policy Area

  16. Applying the Model County-wide

  17. Setting Standards by Geographic P. Area

  18. 2020 Road Adequacy with 6-year CIP/CTP

  19. 5. B Testing Road Solutions

  20. List of Improvements for Testing

  21. Adequacy of Proposed Improvements

  22. Transit Costs from page 9 Roadway Costs from page 10 Cost estimates for capital facilities and operating expenses Wait before the Project-Service is Programmed Is the Collection greater than the criteria of ? Cost per unit of development No 28 25 22 21 23 29 27 25 31 30 24 Aggregate Policy Area Fees collected as part of the subdivision process Set public-private cost sharing Establish criteria for additions into the CIP/CTP Set shares for Households and Employment Yes Go to on slide 12 26a 26b Proposed Process: Main StepsC. Cost-Allocation Steps Change since prior Executive briefing

  23. Program the Project-Service Identify as a Committed Project in the CIP Schedule and Implement within 10-year Time Frame ` Monitor & Report on Development and Implementation Commitments 30 33 34 37 32 35 38 31 36 Make Recommendations for Revised or New Solutions No On Schedule? From on slide 11 Yes Go to Next Growth Policy Cycle Proposed Process: Main StepsD. Programming Public Commitments E. Monitor and Report

  24. 6. Example of the Subdivision Process • Identify Policy Area of Development • Apply • Roadway Cost • Transit Cost • Subdivision Approved • Payment/Surety prior to Record Plat • Track TPAR Payments by Policy Area • Are road or transit improvements ready for programming? • Program Improvements and implement • Monitor and Report Progress
