  2. Overview • Project Highlights • Addressing Reliability in Nevada • Key Outcomes • Call to Action

  3. What is Congestion? • Recurring • Day-to-day bottlenecks • We know when to expect them • Often a capacity issue • Non-recurring • Unexpected • Delays that exceed typical congestion levels • Compounds the capacity issue

  4. Causes of Congestion

  5. The Reliability Connection Congestion Typical Measures: Level of Service Volume/Speed Delay Travel Time RELIABILITY Impacts of Congestion on the Traveler

  6. ITRP Development Process

  7. Reliability Focus Regions • Las Vegas Metropolitan Area • Reno/Sparks/Carson City/Tahoe • I-80 Corridor • Rural Corridors • Statewide

  8. Stakeholder Involvement • Introductory Presentations – to stakeholders in northern and southern Nevada as part of already established meetings • One-on-One Meetings – with Cities, Counties, MPOs, and Highway Patrol in the state to better understand the current plans and processes • Stakeholder Workshops – to gather stakeholders together to review existing conditions, best practices, and strategize about potential integration needs within Nevada • A Project Website – to provide a one-stop resource for project deliverables, meeting dates, and important links to other web sites • Website is: http://www.kimley-horn.com/projects/NevadaITRP/index.shtml – can be accessed through the NDOT website (www.nevadadot.com) and clicking on the ‘Major Projects & Corridor Studies’ link

  11. Reliability Issues and Impacts • Las Vegas Metropolitan Area • Recurring congestion • Unique peak travel periods • Capacity • Infrastructure deployment • Incident management – TIM Coalition • Land use planning and future expansion • Regional systems and coordination with local systems • Access management • Traveler information • Transit/Multimodal • FUNDING

  12. Reliability Issues and Impact • Reno/Sparks Metropolitan Area • Recurring congestion • Infrastructure deployment and integration • Incident management • Capacity • Land use planning • Regional systems • Access management • Traveler information • Transit/Multimodal • FUNDING

  13. Reliability Impacts/Issues • I-80 Corridor • Weather/fire/disaster response • Freight traffic • Limited infrastructure • CA/UT coordination • Limited alternate routes • Traveler information • FUNDING

  14. Gap Analysis Category ID by RegionGAP = a system, functional, or policy deficiency that is impacting the ability of agencies to provide reliable travel time

  15. Trends in Gaps Across all regions: • Sharing incident and weather information with multiple agencies • Lack of detour route planning • Need to get more information out to travelers • Inability to address near-term operations needs • Operations and process issues • Equipment lifecycle/replacement

  16. Performance Measurement – How is it Defined ? • Collection, analysis, and reporting of data to track and assess resources used, outcomes, and if goals are achieved

  17. Why measure performance? • Internal Benefits • Set quantifiable goals and document accomplishments • Improve operations by understanding impacts • Improve information provided to decision-makers to support more effective long-range planning • External Benefits • Evaluate conditions from a customer/traveler perspective • Provide public accountability/traceability

  18. Outcome-Based Performance Measures • Outcome-based performance measures provide policy makers, elected officials, and the public with information regarding the reliability of roadways in Nevada. • These measures describe the ‘state of the roadway system’.

  19. Activity-Based Performance Measures • Activity based performance measures are designed for use by NDOT staff responsible for operating and maintaining the state roadway system • These are measures of activities that indirectly improve the reliability of the transportation system

  20. Reporting • Can be done on an annual or semi-annual basis • Reporting should include: • An overview of goals • Key progress and improvements made during the reporting periods • Overview of trends affecting transportation • Current reporting • FAST OMC • NDOT publications

  21. Reliability Focus Areas • What are the issues? Large gaps associated with the reliability focus area • What needs to happen? Strategies for addressing the gaps • How do we get there? Processes, policies, and projects • Why are we doing this? Anticipated benefits on reliability • How do we measure our success? Performance measures for monitoring success

  28. What does “effort” mean? • Factors to determining level of effort involved in implementing a strategy: • Number of agencies involved • Required data that needs to be collected from different sources • Changes to legacy processes, policies, or procedures • Level of approval required in each agency • Cost requirements

  29. What does “impact” mean? • Factors to determining level of impact involved in implementing a strategy: • Measurable reduction in delay • Measurable improvement to LOS • Enhances information to travelers • Tangible improvements on a regional level • Implements policies that have a direct impact on improved operations

  30. Effort and Impact on Reliability Low Effort High Impact IMPACT MEASURE High Effort High Impact • Strategy 2 • Needs training • and new staff • Addresses many • needs EFFORT MEASURE • Strategy 1 • Does not require • new staff • Does not affect many • reliability issues Low Effort Low Impact High Effort Low Impact

  31. Implementation Strategies • Process – programs, actions, change in steps or activities to deliver a specific service or reach a specific goal • Could be high impact and low/no cost • Example: expand TIM to local public safety • Policy – formal policy change at organizational, regional, or state level • Potential to be time consuming and challenging to obtain approval • Could make substantial changes to affect reliability • Project – capital improvements, tools/technologies, deployments • Potential to have direct effect on levels of congestion • Could require availability of funding

  32. StatewideStrategies and Policy Highlights • Alternate Route Plan for Freeways and State Highway Diversion • Incident Clearance Program/Policy • Shift from “goal” to “policy” • Centralized Database for Regional and Statewide Information • Support web, 511, private partner access, regional dissemination • Traveler Information Business Plan • Access Management Policy

  33. Northern NevadaIncident Management Strategies • Alternate Route Plan for Freeways and State Highway Diversion • Move forward with TIM • Multi-state coordination/decision support for I-80 winter operations

  34. Northern NevadaTraveler Information Strategies • Enhance reporting of real-time data • Urban and rural corridor CCTV • Weather conditions reporting (multi-state, multi-agency) • Freight-focused traveler information • Performance measures output document • Internal/external • Establish robust local multimodal info for use on NV511

  35. Northern NevadaOther Key Strategies • Corridor system management plans • Identify operational gaps, plan for expansion, access management, stakeholder involvement • MOUs for resource/land sharing • Equipment storage, faster response in rural areas • ITS Infrastructure Plan • Potentially covered in Northern NV TMC project • Adaptive strategies • Identify corridors, coordinate with BRT

  36. Northern NevadaPolicies • Regional access management policy • Regional standards/joint maintenance of field equipment • NDOT Statewide Contract • Local agency equipment? • Develop arterial work zone policies/programs • Inspection, enforcement • Land use planning • Link with transportation infrastructure needs

  37. Southern NevadaIncident Management Strategies • Alternate Route Plan for Freeways and State Highway Diversion • Builds on current FAST project • Agency focused • Expand TIM to include local traffic engineering and law enforcement agencies in TIM Coalition • Focused outreach to local LE • Arterial Incident Response Team

  38. Southern NevadaTraveler Information Strategies • Enhance reporting of real-time data • Link travel time, volume and incident data • Expand/enhance automation of ADUS for local agency data • Expand travel time program • Strategies for data collection • Performance measures output document • Establish robust local multimodal info for use on NV511

  39. Southern NevadaOther Key Strategies • Corridor communications master plan • Identify gaps, plan for expansion, plan for telecomm alternatives • Revisit adaptive signal strategies on different corridors • May be more effective with unpredictable congested conditions • Reinstate and revise TCIP program • Allocate funding for near-term operational and capacity enhancements • Implement formal meetings with all traffic divisions in each agency • Coordinate on work zones, incident management issues, project development

  40. Southern NevadaPolicies • Regional access management policy • Already underway by RTC • Develop arterial work zone policies/programs • Inspection, enforcement • Land use planning policy • Link with transportation infrastructure needs • Regional road impact fee • Evaluate district vs. regional vs. municipal options

  41. Implementation Plan • Strategies placed or phased into: • Short-term: 1 to 2 year timeframe • Mid-term: 3 to 5 year timeframe • Long-term: 6 years and beyond • The implementation schedule provides NDOT and partner agencies with a guide map for how to improve transportation reliability throughout the state by implementing specific strategies to effect change for the traveler

  42. Roles and Responsibilities in Implementing Strategies • Lead Agencies • NDOT • RTC of Southern Nevada • RTC of Northern Nevada • Lead Agency Responsibilities • Initiate and manage strategy • Allocate internal or external resources to develop strategy • Involve partner agencies • Provide education to key decision-making bodies

  43. Roles and Responsibilities in Implementing Strategies • Partner Agencies • Cities • Counties • Public Safety • Maintenance • Others • Partner Agency Responsibilities • Partner with lead agency for ownership of strategy • Provide input to and participate in strategy development • Provide data and inventory information where needed

  44. How to Move ITRP Forward • Strategies can be shifted – based on changing circumstances surrounding strategy (timing, funding, other strategies to enable, etc.) • Determine if strategy is process, policy, or project – guideline for strategies developed in plan or new strategies for future • Determine status of implementation steps – that have been completed or ones that need to be completed to initiate strategy • Begin process of project implementation outlined in “steps” category of table
