2016 TRB Tools of the Trade

What is a TSP?

  • Long-range Plan (20 year)
  • Guides transportation investments
  • Identifies multimodal projects that expand
  • r improve the transportation system
  • Coordinated with state, county, local

plans

slide-10
SLIDE 10

2016 TRB Tools of the Trade

Why is a TSP Important?

  • Positioning for competitive grant applications
  • Reflects community vision
  • Smarter investment decisions
  • Standards and requirements provide

guidance during development review

  • Required by state

How is a TSP developed?

Review state, regional, and local regulations, policies, and plans Inventory the Existing Transportation System Identify Deficiencies in the Existing Transportation System Forecast Traffic Growth for the Planning Horizon Year Identify Deficiencies in the Future Transportation System Forecast Reasonable Funding through the Planning Horizon Develop and Evaluate Solutions to Address Needs Develop Draft TSP & Implementation Ordinances Adoption

Prioritizing Solutions

Financially Constrained

$11.5M

Illustrative

$20.5M

  • FC solutions are “reasonably likely to be

funded” by 2035

  • Illustrative solutions address identified needs -

but require additional funding

slide-13
SLIDE 13

2016 TRB Tools of the Trade

Prioritizing Solutions

  • Multimodal Evaluation: based on TSP goals

& objectives

  • Public Input:
  • 4 Community Advisory Committee Meetings
  • 3 Public Open Houses
  • Stakeholder Meeting Series
  • Website: cottagegrovetsp.org

Must Address Many Objectives

  • Support growth areas (SDC/Traffic

Impact Fees, developer contributions)

  • Enhance transportation system (grant $)
  • Multi-modal (state gas tax $)

ODOT STIP “Enhance”

“The Enhance process was a significant change and reflects ODOT's goal to become a more multimodal agency and make investment decisions based on the system as a whole, not for each mode or project type separately. The agency has requested assistance from our local partners in developing the STIP and identifying those projects that assist in moving people and goods through the transportation system.“

$30 million allocated for Enhance Non-Highway for 2019-21

  • Pavement, bridge, or new road construction are not eligible
  • On or off the state system
  • Consistent with state and local plans
  • Match funds required

CONSIDERATIONS FOR SIMILAR COMMUNITIES

slide-36
SLIDE 36

2016 TRB Tools of the Trade

Considerations

  • Focus on safety, access, and

connectivity

  • Solutions reflect community priorities
  • Identify short-term priorities that are

implementable

slide-37
SLIDE 37

2016 TRB Tools of the Trade

Considerations

  • Best solutions solve many problems at once
  • Plan for a complete multi-modal system
  • Scalable project lists can help position

cities for competitive funding opportunities
