  1. Southeast Michigan Council of Governments

  2. HUD Consortium June 26, 2013

  3. What you see depends on where you stand

  4. What we see when we are zoomed in • Exactly where you are • Site uniqueness • No idea how to get here

  5. What we see when we are zoomed out • Shows how you can get there • Shows you have options • Some options are better than others • Some enable accomplishing several things

  6. Sometimes we will be looking at the plan zoomed in Other times. Zoomed out

  7. Measure: System condition

  8. Our sophisticated road network

  9. We're Under-Investing…Changing pavement condition 2004 2012 Costs have more than doubled Percent Lane Miles

  10. It’s not just what we spend, It’s how we spend it Spend 10% on Prevention Spend 50% on Prevention Current condition sustained Condition declines 60% poor From 70% to 40% good/fair 30% poor 70% good/fair Same $400 million, much different result

  11. The Paradox More funding is needed to ensure infrastructure is properly maintained. It’s not the amount we spend, it’s how efficiently we spend it.

  12. Measure: System utilization

  13. Take note:We travel a lot We travel 113 million miles . . . every day (that’s 20 million miles past the sun)

  14. Regional CorridorsCongested During AM or PM Peak 22% congested

  15. Regional CorridorsCongested During AM and PM Peak 7% congested

  16. Regional CorridorsCongested During AM, PM, & Mid Day Periods 4% congested

  17. The Flip Side: Some roads have more capacity than needed Over 600miles of roadwaycould potentially be downsized or repurposed.

  18. Measure: Peak demand

  19. Recall:Our region grows modestly through 2040 2010 2040 People Jobs

  20. How would travel change if we grow more or less? Not much change in regional travel Forecast More growth Less growth Vehicle Miles Traveled

  21. Peak demand is ¼ of day but almost ½ of daily travel happens in those 6 hours Portion of travel Portion of day

  22. Two categories of work trips Home to Work/Work to Home Work Other Work School, Shopping,Recreation, etc.

  23. Is there an advantage to focusing our actions?

  24. Portion of peak work trips starting or ending at home Work trips that start or end at home Other Work All daily trips

  25. The perspective at the regional scale: No big deal Vehicle Miles Traveled

  26. If we look at peak travel times: A little better 10% Work Trips Reduced Base

  27. Let’s zoom in even more Most travel during peak hours isn’t congested Congested Uncongested

  28. The benefit when we look at peak period congestion: • Significant 17% - this matters!

  29. Public willingness to act

  30. Measure: Transit ridership

  31. Working together we Created a Success • Created a Regional Transit Authority • With authority to put a funding proposal up for a vote • SEMCOG will help staff for now

  32. Action: Investment in Transit helps • Attract workers • Increase income • Provide access • Improve labor utilization • Address peak demand

  33. Action: Implementing Travel demand management helps • Better utilize what we have • Tap public support • Save money for other needs • Improve fiscally sustainability

  34. Actions in a topic focused structure are less aligned

  35. Water/ Sewer Roads Environment Transit Breaking the silos requires some adjustments in our thinking

  36. Actions in an outcome-focused decision structure are more aligned

  37. Investing based on holistic thinking • Technical steps • Determine what targets are cost-effective • Calculate the cost of those targets • Policy steps • Determine interim targets based on funding reality • Consider how targets affect all our outcomes

  38. Setting targets $500 $250 80% 70% $300 $200 90% 80% $700 $250 85% 65% Funding available $700 Total cost effective target: $1500

  39. Reliable, Quality Infrastructure Get this outcome on same track as revenue generation • Pursue a framework for investing in transportation infrastructure using a two-part formula

  40. Reliable, Quality Infrastructure • Part 1: A variable cost based on extent of use • Part 2: Some costs for all (everyone benefits regardless of use)

  41. Reliable, Quality Infrastructure • Assure formula accounts for replacement • Incorporate asset management plans into project selection process

  42. Fiscally Sustainable Public Services Reduce Costs • Engage the public in actions • Focus on reducing peak demand

  43. Fiscally Sustainable Public Services Improve rate of return on expenditures • Collaborate with the large service providers

  44. Healthy, Attractive Environmental Assets Think broadly right from the beginning • Advocate that revised funding structure include stormwater management infrastructure

  45. Completing the circle Creating Success in Southeast Michigan
