Policy Outreach Results

Summer 2017 Outreach

and in-person presentations

– 30 meetings – About 400 stakeholders – About 200 responses to

• nline open house

ODOT spoke to:

• Area Commissions
• OTC, ODOT Advisory Groups
• MPO groups
• Providers via groups,

commissions

• State Commissions
• ODOT staff teams

Plus

• Emails and newsletters
• Social media announcements
• Press releases

Stakeholder Meetings – Feedback

• Communication and

coordination

• Comprehensive information

available statewide

• Safe stops, safe access to

stops

• First/last mile solutions
• Performance measures
• Regional and intercity

connectivity

• Seamless connections /

transfers

• Governance: particular to

regional connections

• ODOT role in statewide

connections

• Equity: inclusion in planning

process, affordability, …

• OPTP relationship to HB 2017

Online Open House – Policy Feedback

• Engagement beyond public agencies
• Integrate fare payment systems with bikeshare,

parking payment apps, etc

• Engage TMAs, neighborhood groups, others too
• Emphasize LEP populations
• Use of alternative energy sources
• Fare enforcement

Online Open House – Implementation Feedback

• Strategic coordination and

partnerships

• Increase service frequency,

reduce travel times, and focus on transit priority corridors

• Provide educational

resources

• Identify barriers to use
• Fare affordability
• Prioritize safe access and

safety

• Develop transit-supportive

incentives

• Consider emerging

transportation options for services

HB 2017 Update

Draft OPTP Performance Measures

What and Why

What:

• Explored statewide measures for use in the OPTP
• Reviewed current ODOT KPMs, other ODOT plans’

measures, other states’ measures, local measures, literature

• Established criteria for “successful” measures
• Recommended measures for use in the OPTP

Why:

• Supports measurement of progress on OPTP

policies/strategies

• Identify areas for improvement

What Makes a Successful Performance Measure?

• Clear and concise
• Linked to goals
• Reliable and trackable
• Informative and meaningful
• Flexible

Research Conducted

• State requirements

– HB 2017

• Federal requirements

– FAST Act/Map-21, National Measures

• Technical papers

– TCRP Report 88, NCHRP Research Results Digest 361

• Performance measures used in other states

– Washington, California, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Colorado

• Local examples

– TriMet, LTD, Cherriots

Recommended Measures

• Statewide public transportation ridership per capita
• Public transportation revenue hours per capita
• Percentage of state population and employment

within ½-mile of a public transportation stop

• Cost per boarding for fixed-route service (adjusted

for inflation)

• Percent of public transportation vehicle fleet that is

low- or zero-emission

• Transit vehicle condition: percent of public transit

buses exceeding useful life

Investment Scenarios

What are “Investment Scenarios”?

Investment Scenarios articulate possible futures for the public transportation system depending on different levels of funding.

• Reflect OPTP’s goals, policies, and strategies
• Reflect PAC and TAC discussions, and feedback received
• Reflect assessments of public transportation needs:

– OPTP Needs Assessment – OTA Better Transit Proposal – Governor’s Transportation Vision Panel Report

• Investment Scenarios provide context for investment

decision-making

‒ OTC Strategic Investment Proposal ‒ House Bill 2017

OPTP Scenarios 2 & 3 Funding Levels vs. Estimated Need

$500 $700 $900 $1,100 $1,300 $1,500 $1,700 $1,900 $2,100 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 2034 2035 2036 2037 2038 2039 2040 2041 2042 2043 2044 2045

Annual Funding/Need in Millions Reasonable Unmet Need (2016 Dollars) [Low] Baseline Need (2013 Service Levels) Public Transportation Funding Projection (2016 Dollars)

HB 2017 Funding Begins Twice HB 2017 Funding Levels

Scenario 1: Triage

Funding stays flat or declines, even as population and demand for service increases

• Decline in public transportation service, crowded buses,

limited rural service

• No new technologies, older fleets and increased equipment

breakdowns

• Decreased coordination and communication between

providers and jurisdictions

Scenario 2: Preservation and Critical Improvements

Funding increases equivalent to the investment from HB 2017, accounts for population growth for about ten years Service increases, including extended service hours and more frequent service

• Expanded demand-response systems and improvement to

fixed route service

• Better connections between systems and regions
• Investment in new fleets, maintaining equipment, new

technologies and expansion of efare

• Funding for coordination and planning, and centralized

information

Scenario 3: Expanding Service

Significant investment elevates public transportation across the state, builds from HB 2017 and accounts for population growth through 2045

• Substantial service expansions, with demand response service

available in most rural areas and limited fixed route services connecting rural areas

• Regional and intercity services would expand
• Further expansion of efare and new technologies and steps

toward fare integration

• Low- or no- emission fleets with state of the art technology
• Closely coordinated service resulting in easy transfers

Scenario 4: Realizing the Vision

Additional investment funds most public transportation needs, elevating and further expanding public transportation services.

• Major capital investment in high-capacity transit
• Seamless connections/transfers between modes, areas
• Rural public transportation services would meet most travel

needs

• Higher-speed passenger rail service would be developed
• One-stop information, full fare integration
• Fully modernized transit fleet with zero- or low-emission vehicles
• Close coordination to achieve a near-seamless riding experience

Potential Revisions to Policies and Strategies

Online Open House Results – Policy Feedback

• Memo describes approach to addressing feedback
• Major policy feedback includes:

– Engagement including TMAs, neighborhood groups, etc. – Integrate fare payment systems with bikeshare, parking, … – Emphasize LEP populations – Use of alternative energy sources – Fare enforcement

Public Comments

Wrap up and Next Steps

• Revised policies sent to PAC after meeting
• Next PAC meeting in November to discuss the

Investment Chapter

• Begin discussion on implementation

Thank You!
