The meeting was called to order by Mr. Rodriguez at 9:01 a.m.

2. Call to the Audience

None.

3. In-Kind Form

The in-kind form was available at the entrance.

4. Announcements/Comments

Mr. Liosatos mentioned that the announcements at the room entrance consisted of the upcoming meetings schedule. The April 23, 2015, Regional Council meeting has been canceled. The next meeting will occur on May 28. The June, July and August meetings also will most likely be canceled. This meeting was the last opportunity to be on the May Regional Council agenda. Jim DeGrood mentioned that there is a CART tour scheduled for next Friday, April 24, with about 20 people signed up. He will contact some of the members of TPC for potentially providing speakers for the tour. He added that if any of the jurisdictions would like to attend but haven’t replied to the invitation, they are still able to attend. The maximum availability is 35 people. Mark Hoffman stated that the state long range Transportation plan is due for an update. Stakeholder outreach meetings will be held in the summer and fall. The scope and public involvement plan is currently being developed.

5. Report on Regional Council’s Meeting Schedule

Mr. Liosatos reported that the PAG Regional Council met last on March 26. Items of interest to the TPC committee were included in the consent section of the agenda. Items approved included TIP Amendment 5, the Highway Safety Grant application going to the Governor’s office, which would fund the Regional Diversion Program run by PAG next fiscal year and would replace the current Regional Diversion Program run by Pima County. The Overall Work Program was heard in a separate item with the funding component, this item will be on their next agenda for adoption. A report on the Regional Transportation Studies was given by Nathan Barrett.

6. Approval of Minutes of March 18, 2015, meeting.

ACTION: Ms. Cornelio moved to approve the minutes of the March 18, 2015, meeting, seconded by Mr. Gastelum and unanimously approved.

7. PAG FY 2016-2020 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)

Mr. Barrett explained the background of the TIP and its funding sources of STP, HURF 12.6%, HURF 2.6%, TAP and HSIP. He added each funding source is fiscally constrained in each year of the TIP. The draft TIP was presented to the public in three open houses in March 2015. There were 33 visitors who attended among the three open houses. There were people who did stop and view the slideshow but who did not sign in. There were seven comment forms received and six of them were from the Green Valley area, requesting bike lanes or maintenance to bike lanes. Those comments are online. Staff reviewed the comments and determined that the comments did not warrant changes to the draft PAG FY 2016-2020 TIP. The FY 2016-2020 TIP, once approved by TPC, will go on to the Management Committee and then to Regional Council. The FY 2016-2020 TIP included the Air Quality Conformity Analysis and the rollover of unexpended funds. Ms. Cornelio asked to discuss the Bike Share Program and what the Bike/Ped. Subcommittee recommended for the program with regard to maintenance and operations funding. At this time, there are two years of committed regional funding to that project. Mr. Liosatos stated that if the Committee would like to show the local funding for the three remaining years, it is up to the Committee. Mr. Cole stated that when a jurisdiction takes on a project it is committed to the project, and that listing in the TIP carries with it the commitment to maintain the project. Ms. Cornelio added that the County is comfortable with moving forward with the item with the statement Mr. Cole made as part of the minutes. ACTION: Mr. Cole moved to approve the PAG FY 2016-2020 TIP, seconded by Ms. Cornelio and unanimously approved.

8. TIP Subcommittee Report including Amendment #7 to FY 2015-2019 TIP

Nathan Barrett gave a review of TIP Amendment #7 to FY 2015-2019 with some additions and edits provided and consisting of the following 5 items:

o One time (A) reprograms HSIP funds in 2015 o One item (B) moves RTA funds from one TIP ID to another (both part of

the same RTA corridor project) o One item (C) programs new RTA funds to an existing project

o One item (D) moves a TAP project back one year, and moves two TAP projects forward one year. Approval of this item is contingent upon final approval of the FY 2016-2020 TIP.

o One item (E) reprograms STP, ASTP, HURF 2.6%, and RTA funding from four different projects.

o One item (F) adjusts the programmed amounts on transit projects to match the approved budgets of those projects.

Discussion also occurred regarding Amendment #7. Since this was presented to the TIP Subcommittee earlier in the month, an additional change has been identified and the committee was asked today to include that change in the amendment. The change rebalanced the type of funding being traded between projects on Item E, but did not change the amount of funds involved in the trade. ACTION: Mr. Cole moved to approve TIP Amendment #7 with the corrections and additions as noted, seconded by Ms. Cornelio and unanimously approved. Nathan Barrett added that the TIP Subcommittee also discussed the TABY policies and that discussion was tabled and will continue to be discussed later this summer. Also discussed was the Memorandum of Understanding that PAG will be implementing to improve communication to the region on what projects will be delivered and ensuring accountability from all stakeholders involved. Policies will be developed and implemented in the near future.

9. ADOT Statewide Freight Plan Update

Jamison Brown introduced Michael DeMers, who has been with ADOT for just over a year as a multi-modal planner. Mr. DeMers provided a brief presentation on how the region can be involved and welcomed any feedback from members today. He explained that freight analysis at ADOT consists of a three-way intersection between performance, management and improvements, highway planning and multimodal planning and economic development. The three main components that Mr. DeMers is currently working on at ADOT are the statewide Freight plan, bi-national trade corridor planning (I19, Mexico 15 (Sonora)), and, as needed, some operations improvements. Mr. DeMers showed slides illustrating performance data that was provided by ATRI indicating where trucks in Arizona are coming from. The data provided was for Phoenix, but data for Tucson also can be obtained. He also spoke about other resources available for other types of data. Mr. DeMers mentioned that he could provide more data from other areas including Mexico and Texas. Mr. DeMers will return with additional updates in the future. This is a study that started about a month and half ago and is in the early stages. For a copy of Mr. DeMers, presentation please contact [email protected].

10. Legislative Update

Nathan Barrett informed the committee that the Arizona legislative session has adjourned for the current year. An item that was being followed closely, when the new budget was passed was the provision that would require cities and towns to share the cost of the Dept. of Revenues collection and administration of state-shared revenues. Near the end of the session, there was a floor amendment to reduce the assessment that would be made against the counties by $3 million, and instead assess those fees against MAG and the RTA. The breakdown is $2.5 million for MAG and $500k for the RTA. Both houses of the Legislature have passed this and the bill is currently sitting on the Governor’s desk. Mr. Barrett has been checking daily to see if the Governor has signed it.

mailto:[email protected]

He then explained that the Legislative report provided showed which bills never made it out of committee and other items that have been passed or are waiting for the Governor’s signature.

11. RTA Report

Jim DeGrood reported that the Board last met on March 26 and they approved the La Cholla Design Contract IGA for the continuation of the project from Overton to Tangerine. Also, a number of design and construction bus pullout packages were awarded at this meeting. The most recent round of bus pullout packages have all been contracted to date. There will be one more bus pullout project to go to contract. The RTA Board was scheduled to meet again on April 23, but it was recently canceled. The next meeting will be on May 28, 2015. The budget will be discussed at that meeting. The revenues are not strong and are expected to finish the year at a 1.4 percent growth over the year prior. The Management Committee was presented with a recommendation to raise that for the fiscal year 2016 by 3 percent. A revenue budget is estimated at $75.5 million on sales tax next year. The RTA fund balance at the end of February was $200 million and remains at that rate. Major billings are expected by the end of the fiscal year.

12. District Engineers Quarterly Report

John Liosatos stated that there was nothing new to report at this time.

13. TPC Finance Report

Nathan Barrett reported that the HURF balances are above the estimates from last year and are above the five-year average. This March has been the best month in HURF revenue collections. Gasoline sales continue to be behind the normal. The sheets provided all showed positive numbers.

14. Future Agenda Items

None.

15. Adjournment

Motion: Mr. Coyle moved to adjourn the meeting at 10:12 a.m., Mr. Mishler seconded the motion and it was unanimously approved. The next meeting will most likely be canceled but will depend on what schedule Regional Council takes. A notice will be sent out prior.

I hereby certify that the foregoing are the true and correct minutes of the Transportation

Planning Committee meeting held on March 18, 2015. These minutes serve as the official

legal action items for this meeting. I further certify that a quorum was present.

Regional Council will be asked to authorize the PAG Executive Director to establish a contract for work under PAG’s Congestion Management Process. ASSOCIATED OWP WORK ELEMANT/GOAL

Work Element 1643 – Transportation Systems Management and Operations

SUMMARY

The Congestion Management Process (CMP) is a continuous practice that seeks to enhance the use of existing transportation facilities prior to adding significant new capacity. It is a federal requirement for TMAs to incorporate congestion management into the planning process to identify congested locations, determine the causes of congestion, develop mitigation strategies, evaluate and propose successful strategies, and track project impacts. During PAG’s 2014 certification review, Federal Highways advised PAG to seek opportunities to further advance its CMP and continue to incorporate implementation strategies and targets in addition to incorporating new federal guidance. A request for proposals (RFP) was released soliciting proposals for an addendum to the current CMP document, which was developed in 2010. The RFP also included a task to develop and integrate a data dashboard to help transportation officials and the public visualize the region’s conditions at a glance. Key among this RFP was to maximize, to the extent possible, the automation of all processes. The Committee is asked to approve the recommendation of the staff evaluation committee for a consultant to assist PAG further advance the region’s CMP.


Project is included in approved PAG Overall Work Program.


The CMP Addendum and Data Dashboard has established a budget not to exceed $115,000 of STP funds, which is identified in the PAG OWP.

This is an action item. TPC is requested to approve the updated Public Transit Human Services Coordinated Plan including 5310 funding recommendations. ASSOCIATED OWP WORK ELEMANT/GOAL

Work Element 1640

SUMMARY

Each year, Pima Association of Governments (PAG) works with ADOT to recommend grant awards for the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) Section 5310 program. The section 5310 program provides capital and operating grants for transit systems that primarily serve passengers who are seniors or persons with disabilities. PAG acts as the local planning agency for the ADOT administered 5310 program, part of which requires that PAG make funding recommendations to ADOT for both urban area and rural applicants. (The 5310 program apportions funding directly for large urban areas on a formula basis, and to the state for rural systems. ADOT administers both urban and rural programs in the PAG region.) For the FY 2015-16 grant recommendations, PAG staff reviewed applications from 5 agencies making funding recommendations for nearly $740,000. Applications were ranked based on a scoring rubric provided by ADOT and refined to better align with regional priorities. Funding recommendations are included as Appendix F of the updated Public Transit Human-Services Coordinated Plan.

SUBJECT: PAG 2045 RTP Vision, Goals, Performance Measures, and Targets

Meeting

Meeting Date

Agenda Category

Agenda Item #




This is an action item. TPC is asked to review and approve the draft vision, goals, interim performance measures and targets from MAP-21 compliance of the 2045 Regional Transportation Plan ASSOCIATED OWP WORK ELEMENT/GOAL

Work Element 1640 SUMMARY

Every 4 years federal regulations require Pima Association of Governments (PAG) to update the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The RTP is the 30-year, fiscally-constrained transportation plan which identifies vision, goals, estimated funding levels, and a list of projects and programs for the region’s transportation system. The next plan update must be completed by mid 2016 to meet federal requirements. The RTP process began over 18 months ago by convening a RTP Task Force composed of representatives of PAG member jurisdictions and from multiple organizations representing various stakeholder perspectives. The RTP Task Force provides critical guidance in the development of the RTP. The vision and goals were founded upon the existing approved vision and goals from the 2040 RTP. Refinement under guidance from the Task Force included consistency with national transportation goals established by MAP-21, changed regional conditions, and feedback gathered through a regional transportation survey conducted early in the RTP update process. The RTP vision and goals are the cornerstone of developing a federally-required performance-based plan. However, the 2045 RTP will be completed prior to the final federal rulemaking regarding the establishment of national performance measures. Therefore, PAG, at the recommendation of FHWA, is pursuing locally-developed interim performance measures and targets for the 2045 RTP in order to satisfy the federal requirements and prepare the region for when national performance measures and targets are finalized. RTP interim performance measures are consistent with performance areas proposed by preliminary federal guidance. Additional local performance measures were developed to support the RTP scenario planning process. Targets were set based on historic trends, the results of PAG’s travel demand modeling, and assumed future investments in the transportation system. The use of performance measures and targets will be limited to providing guidance for decision-making and to tracking progress of plan implementation. The measures and targets will be re-evaluated over time and modified to respond to final federal requirements as well as regional conditions and trends.

Packet Material Prepared: 08/12/15

The vision, goals, performance measures, and targets are the first RTP deliverable to be presented to TPC. Additional deliverables, including Draft plan projects, and programs will be presented at future meetings. It is anticipated that the RTP will be completed in early 2016. PRIOR BOARD AND/OR COMMITTEE ACTION

The 2045 RTP update began in January 2014. Since that time, PAG committees have received periodic progress updates. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS

The RTP is required to be updated every 4 years in order for the region to be eligible to access state and federal transportation funds. TECHNICAL, POLICY, LEGAL OR OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

DRAFT RPT Goals, Performance Measures and Strategies Page 1

2045 Vision

The 2045 RTP envisions a state-of-the-art, reliable, multi-modal, and environmentally responsible regional transportation system that is continuously maintained, interconnected and integrated with sustainable land use patterns to support a high quality of life and a healthy, safe and economically vibrant region

System Maintenance: Roadways, bike and pedestrian infrastructure, and transit systems that

are rehabilitated, complete, and maintained in a state of good repair

Objective Performance Measure Current 2020 Benchmark

2045 Plan Target

Improve the condition

of roadways in the

Tucson region

Percentage of federal-aid roadways rated in “poor” condition based on IRI

37% in poor condition

Under 30% in poor condition by 2020

Below 20% poor by 2045

Maintain the share of structurally deficient bridges

Percentage of bridges rated as structurally deficient

8% 8% Maintain below 10%

Maintain the regional transit fleet in a state of good repair

Average age of buses

6.5 years 6.5 years Maintain under 7 year average age

Strategies

1) Develop and support uniform system performance planning tools that assist local agencies

and establish consistent reporting standards region-wide

2) Incorporate best practices in pavement management systems and encourage communication

across jurisdictions about successful strategies

3) Encourage the programming of regional fund sources for pavement preservation

4) Explore sustainable local funding solutions to maintain the region’s transportation assets


Safety: Safety and security for all transportation users across the region

Reduce by 10%

Strategies

1) Integrate Vision Zero into all levels of transportation planning with the aim of ultimately

eliminating all roadway fatalities.

2) Promote safe and efficient incident response and clearance through development and

implementation of a formalized regional incident management program.


3) Maintain the roadways, sidewalks, bicycle and transit facilities through filling potholes,

sweeping debris, and maintaining traffic signals. Execute timely responses to safety concerns

regarding the transportation network.

4) Support the development of a comprehensive performance measurement program for the

region whereby safety and security issues are identified and addressed promptly.

5) Incorporate emergency service agencies in the transportation planning and implementation

processes in order to ensure delivery of transportation security to the traveling public.

6) Evaluate and encourage the installation of applicable emergency traffic signal preemption

equipment at signalized intersections, fire station roadway access points and other locations.

7) Include Roadway Safety Assessments (RSA) as part of projects addressing safety issues.

RSA’s should be addressed during the scoping and design process to incorporate safety

features in all projects as early as possible and in order to avoid project retrofits.

8) Increase the use of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) strategies in work zones, such as

dynamic message signs and dynamic lane merge systems that provide real-time traveler

information and real-time response to lane merging conditions. Use of ITS strategies in work

zones are intended to improve safety and operations.

9) Prioritize funding for safety improvement projects as a key component of transportation

project development through the TIP and RTP processes and ensure that HSIP funding is fully

utilized in the region consistent with the emphasis areas of the regional Strategic Transportation

Safety Plan.

10) Develop strategies to improve safety for drivers and pedestrians at major intersections. Add

more pedestrian friendly features such as islands where appropriate to slow traffic and provide

pedestrian refuge in large intersections.

11) Investigate reducing vehicle travel speeds in areas where drivers and pedestrians interact

and where older drivers and pedestrians need more time to make decisions.

12) Make it easier for drivers and pedestrians to notice, read, and understand visual information

by reducing the clutter of signs, creating better access management, and improving signs and

lighting to make the roadway more intuitive.

13) Support an education and outreach campaign that creates a serious dialogue about “traffic

safety culture” within the region with a goal toward affecting behavior and improving safety by

reducing indifference or complacency.

14) Improve roadway lighting, particularly in areas with high levels of bicycle and pedestrian

activity, using dark sky compliant luminaires such as full cut-off fixtures where appropriate.

15) Continue to expand the use of bike and pedestrian signals (such as HAWKs) in order to

improve road safety and increase crossing opportunities on arterial roads.

Strategies

1) Continue implementation of Complete Streets practices in the region

2) Retain the quality of the current public transit system, expand access and services, and

implement high capacity transit

3) Implement a seamless regional transit system and identify a regional dedicated revenue

source for transit

4) Fill gaps in the region’s sidewalk network


5) Expand the variety of transit services and other modes of transportation available to meet the

needs of non-driving populations, including children, disabled and older adults, such as

volunteer driver programs, carpooling and paratransit services.

6) Improve bicycle planning efforts by focusing on the League of American Bicyclists’ critique of

the region’s 2012 platinum application for bicycle-friendly communities.

7) Expand the network of low-stress bikeways, including bike boulevards, protected bike lanes,

crossing opportunities, shared use paths, wide paved shoulders on rural routes, and others

8) Develop a regional Safe Routes to School Plan

9) Develop incentives to promote non-vehicular trips, and disincentives to discourage vehicular

trips

10) Improve the existing arterial roadway network to meet the needs and desires of the driving

public, including expansion and maintenance of roadways.

11) Identify and designate routes and connectors with heavy freight movements as freight

priority corridors

12) Ensure that Complete Streets Improvements are consistent with freight mobility to support

truck or goods movements while also supporting other modes of transportation on these streets.

13) Expand the ADA sidewalk network and include features that assist persons with disabilities

such as 5-foot wide sidewalks, curb ramps, detectable warnings in the sidewalk surface to alert

individuals to driveways and intersections, and reduced obstructions such as poles and signage.

14) Elevate pedestrian amenities to become a priority in sidewalk projects and roadway projects

that include sidewalk elements. Pedestrian amenities include street lighting, shading, seating,

traffic signalization, and incorporating national best practices for pedestrian crossing treatments,

such as HAWK signals.

15) Improve the quantity and quality of bus shelters and bus stop facilities including lighting,

seating, bicycle parking, public art, drinking fountains, real time arrival signs, etc. in order to

increase the convenience, accessibility, and comfort of transit.

16) Consider new shared-use path development, with an emphasis on creating links from

residential to employment, commercial and recreation areas. Support new development areas

at trail nodes, in conjunction with transit station development.

17) Incorporate Green Infrastructure elements into transportation projects in order to enhance

the aesthetics of the community, improve shade, encourage active transportation, and provide

improved stormwater management.


System Performance: Improved regional mobility, congestion management, and travel time

reliability through reducing travel demand, enhancing operations, and adding system capacity

for all modes where necessary

Objective Performance Measure

1.25% 1.3% 2.1%

Strategies

1) Support a comprehensive performance measurement program of the transportation network

whereby mobility issues are identified and addressed promptly through a program of expanded

data collection and analysis.

2) Evaluate and incorporate applicable Intelligent Transportation System features for all

transportation projects during project scoping or early design process.

3) Include evaluation of applicable telecommunications equipment and infrastructure for all

projects during the project scoping and early design process. Installation of conduit for fiber

optic cable and other telecommunications can provide cost effective improvements in

transportation and other public services.

4) Include traffic signal timing review and adjustment as part of the construction process of

corridor road projects.

5) Include regional service patrols as part of major construction projects to assist stranded

motorists, remove debris from the roadway and ensure smooth flow of the selected network

corridors during construction.

6) Encourage appropriate funding levels for system management and operations. Optimal

mobility only can be maintained when the components of the system are in good repair and

operating as intended.


7) Support multi-agency coordination for large-scale work zones through construction planning

and phasing which limits the impacts of construction on parallel routes.

8) Consider alternative congestion management strategies such as bike, pedestrian, transit,

ridesharing, signal coordination and various operational strategies that best address the causes

and impacts of congestion. Such strategies should be considered as part of the project

development process so that congestion mitigation features can be included as part of larger

projects. Congestion management strategies also should be considered prior to determination

of capacity increasing projects as part of the regional project development process.

9) Encourage the region to set aside funds to conduct corridor studies to determine the best

strategies to improve safety and optimize performance including better access management

practices, widening or reducing lanes and intersection improvements.

10) Regularly update PAG plans and studies such as the Regionally Significant Corridors Study,

the High Capacity Transit Study, and the Regional Plan for Bicycling, to ensure continual

improvements to the transportation network. Coordinate the timing of plan updates to increase

planning effectiveness.

11) Develop and promote access management policies, standards and strategies that can be

adopted and implemented by jurisdictions throughout the region and incorporated into corridor

projects and local design review processes for development and land use plans. Promote

opportunities for jurisdictions, developers, businesses and the public to better understand the

benefits of and support the implementation of access management principles.

12) Consider additional interregional corridors to address the projected congestion between

Tucson and Phoenix.

13) Continue to identify future potential grade separated rail crossings and determine long-term

funding for their construction.

Strategies

1) Pave dirt roads with average daily traffic greater than 500 vehicles per day in order to abate

dust pollution.

2) Include removal of buffelgrass, and other invasive species, as part of jurisdictions’ road

improvement and maintenance efforts.

3) Support rainwater harvesting efforts along roadways and at commercial sites to reduce

stormwater peak flows and reduce stormwater pollution.

4) Provide alternate mode options, such as bike, pedestrian and transit to decrease vehicle

miles traveled and reduce air pollution.

5) Protect the movement of wildlife and connect critical habitat areas by pursuing local initiatives

to create wildlife crossings on major roadways especially along wildlife corridors between

mountain ranges

6) Improve monitoring to assess the impacts of wildlife crossing projects to better gauge

effectiveness

7) Use recycled materials including rubberized asphalt for constructing roadways.

8) Incorporate environmental enhancements to preserve open space, create urban pathways

and improve bicycle and pedestrian connectivity throughout the region.

9) Ensure consistency between PAG region transportation plans, such as the RTP and local

circulation plans, and adopted conservation plans, such as the Sonoran Desert Conservation

Plan and others, so that they may avoid further habitat fragmentation.

10) Monitor greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and develop strategies to reduce the effect of

transportation related GHG emissions; currently, it is estimated 1/3 of all GHG come from

transportation sources.


11) Adopt environmentally sensitive roadway design guidelines.

13) Explore a funding mechanism to better mitigate the environmental impacts of transportation

investments

14) Support increased use of renewable energy sources to power roadside infrastructure, such

as lighting and signage.

15) Support expansion of alternative fuel vehicles to reduce regional on-road emissions.

Land Use and Transportation: Land use decisions and transportation investments that are

complementary and result in improved access to important destinations and vibrant and healthy

communities


2045 Plan Target

Improve regional access to jobs and other essential services

Number of regional jobs the average person can reach in 30 minutes by automobile

244,263

Increase by 7% Increase by 45%

Accessibility index for all modes

57,905 Increase 3% Increase by 15%

Percent of residents living within ¼ mile of a transit stop

42.6% 43% More than 45%

Percent of jobs within ¼ mile of a transit stop

58.9% 59% More than 60%

Strategies

1) Encourage development practices that provide direct access from neighborhoods and

subdivisions to arterial streets, commercial centers and community facilities by expanding the

network of safe and convenient bicycle, pedestrian and other facilities

2) Support the creation of neighborhood-oriented retail development with pedestrian access

from surrounding neighborhoods as well as pedestrian shopping districts that encourage a

walkable environment.

3) Commit to future development patterns that provide safe, easy and convenient access to

alternative mode transportation options and support high-capacity transit investment.

4) Develop a regional strategy that links land use and transportation by targeting transportation

investment in designated growth areas in jurisdictions’ adopted land use plans.


5) Support the development of a range of housing options during new construction to provide

quality housing for people of all income levels.

6) Promote Transit-Oriented Development(TOD) by building higher-intensity mixed-use

communities near transit centers and locating new transit facilities along major corridors. Work

with jurisdictions to customize TOD facilities and features to meet community needs.

7) Support the preservation of open spaces including undeveloped land, habitats for plants and

animals, places of natural beauty and critical environmental areas.

8) Promote the mixture of land uses and higher density development, where appropriate, to

create livable neighborhoods so that housing, work, and shopping destinations are in close

proximity to each other and residents have alternatives to driving such as walking, biking, or

transit. Activities include:

Develop neighborhood-oriented commercial centers on minor, not major, arterials.

Create nodes of development that are recognizable, high density hubs.

Increase density on targeted transit corridors to increase convenient use for more

people

Provide assistance to communities to plan for and develop mixed use areas that can

serve as models for the region.

Assist communities with corridor planning projects efforts that help to improve selected

commercial corridors into desirable environments.

Educate decision-makers as well as the public.


Freight and Economic Growth: Regional freight transportation infrastructure that supports

global competitiveness, economic activity, and job growth by providing for the efficient

movement of goods within our region, giving access to national and international markets, and

improving intermodal connections


Current Progress Plan Target

Minimize commercial vehicle delay on the interstate system

Commercial vehicle delay on the interstate system


Share of commercial vehicles on the interstate


Maintain reliable travel times for commercial vehicles on the interstate system

80th percentile travel time of commercial vehicles on the interstate system


Strategies

1. Recognizing the connection between transportation infrastructure and economic activity,

continue to foster broad political alignment and support of freight, trade, and economic

development priorities across the region, interregionally, statewide, and binationally.

2. As appropriate, continue to support transportation infrastructure studies, initiatives, and

projects that could ultimately increase job opportunities in the community.

3. Continue to coordinate transportation planning with adjoining counties, regions and councils

of government for transportation needs and improvements beyond those in our region.

4. As a decision support input, consider economic benefits when prioritizing transportation

projects. New or enhanced transportation facilities can stimulate commercial activity, increase

tourism revenue, and/or increase export-related trade.

5. To increase commerce while also enhancing livability, continue to support projects and

initiatives that increase pedestrian activity near commercial nodes and corridors.

6. Support efforts to integrate freight movement and land use planning to encourage the

development of regional, multimodal logistics hubs.

7. Maintain the transportation network and protect the existing regional investment through

programs such as the regional pavement preservation program.

8. Work with airports to facilitate connections between air and ground travel both to address

infrastructure gaps as well as to improve efficient mobility of people and goods.

9. Support the collection of high quality commercial vehicle data, including that for trucks, trains,

and cargo airplanes, to inform decision making.


10. Support infrastructure improvements, such as road improvements and expanded utility lines,

near existing or potential businesses to increase their business capacity and public access to

facilities.

11. Develop meaningful incentives that encourage businesses to locate near transit hubs.

12. Continue efforts to provide assistance to businesses impacted by transportation projects.

Public Involvement: Continued outreach and involvement of all users in transportation

decision-making.

Strategies

1) Include broad, geographically dispersed populations in developing plans and projects,

including significant participation from traditionally under-represented groups.

2) Support PAG and jurisdictional efforts to offer repeated opportunities for substantive public

input during project planning and development.

3) Encourage project planners to provide public input results to decision-makers in a timely

manner and to explicitly consider and respond to public comments.

4) Work with neighborhoods to take ownership of transportation projects and programs within

their community. For example, expand the “Adopt-a-Road” program and work with

neighborhood associations to initiate new projects and elements of the system like landscaping

within traffic circles.

5) Develop strategies to gain more buy-in and use of the public transit system. For example, if

schools are teaching a module about geography or transportation, they can include a session

on teaching students (of a certain age) how to ride the bus.

6) Advocate for the development of educational programs to teach the public about sustainable

land use, transit-oriented development and successful, mixed-use communities.

7) Conduct education and outreach to youth and adults on the value of the region’s

transportation network and the importance of transportation improvements with a goal toward

extending the Regional Transportation Authority’s ½-cent excise tax in 2026.


Advanced Technologies: State-of-the-art, cost-effective delivery of transportation services

and facilities.

Strategies

1) Upgrade traffic signal control equipment, signal power supply and communications

connections, and intersection and midblock detection equipment on arterial roadways.

2) Innovate and pilot new technologies that have potential for creating a safer and better

performing system. An example of how this has already been done in Tucson is the HAWK

(High Intensity Activated Cross Walk) pedestrian signals. They were created by a City of Tucson

engineer and are now included in the manual for uniform traffic control devices (MUTCD) and

are used nationally.

Funding and Implementation: Revenue sources and strategies that ensure ample funding and

timely project development.

Strategies

1) Promote the extension of the half-cent excise tax and the Regional Transportation Authority

(RTA) past its current expiration in 2026.

2) Explore new sources of funding such as public and private partnerships, congestion pricing,

vehicle miles traveled fees, etc. in order to develop a diversified funding stream that will

adequately meet transportation needs in the future.

3) Set targets for project delivery and the implementation of the projects in the 5-year

Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).

4) Establish a structure for tracking performance measures to assess the progress of the

implementation of the 2045 Regional Transportation Plan.

5) Develop jurisdiction-specific alternatives to regional policies and programs, particularly for

land use, so that jurisdictions are a part of developing the programs that affect their

communities. In regional plans, include choices and opportunities to suggest modifications that

fit jurisdictions’ needs. While suggested modifications may ultimately deviate too much from the

overall goal, there is value in proposing creative alternatives.

6) Encourage proper maintenance and upkeep of the existing transportation network by setting

aside a sufficient funding allocation for maintenance in regional plans, as well as encourage

jurisdictions to do so in their annual budgets. As pavement degrades, repairs become

exponentially more costly; one of the best uses of transportation funds is to protect the

investment made in the existing system, which will also build public support for future

expansions of the network as needed.


Accountability: Continued transparency, responsiveness and coordination to meet

transportation needs throughout the region.

Strategies

1) Track the implementation of projects and regularly update the public on the status of projects

and programs.

2) Encourage jurisdictions to provide information on recently completed projects when

conducting public outreach on developing projects. Explain the benefits of completed projects to

better educate the public about transportation improvements and solicit input on developing

projects.
