Award criteria

Criterion 1: Proposed project addresses a need and supports TGM objectives (up to 40 points)

The project clearly and effectively addresses a local or regional transportation or transportation-related land use issue, problem, need, or opportunity and will achieve one or more of the TGM objectives.

Application instructions and example responses can be found here.

Explain how your proposed project addresses a need and supports TGM objectives

Need StatementBeaverton’s 2010 TSP was a minor update and primarily focused on updating modal inventories and growth-related needs in annexation areas. Ten years later, the City’s TSP is due for an update for three primary reasons: 1. The vision, goals, and policies that inform the implementation plan do not reflect current values of the community and City Council2. The technical analysis reflects vehicle-focused capacity objectives from the City’s original 1997 TSP3. The 2010 TSP does not reflect recent planning efforts undertaken by Beaverton including the Active Transportation Plan, Climate Action Plan, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Plan, Context Sensitive Design Policy, and Beaverton Community Vision

Proposed SolutionThe proposed project will:1. Focus attention towards transportation solutions, engaging the community to reveal new perspectives, and developing new goals and approaches2. Bring the city’s transportation system planning up-to-date to align with regional and state requirements, as well as furthering TGM program goals – specifically TGM Goal 1 (Transportation Choices) and Goal 5 (Environmental Stewardship)

TGM Goal 1: Transportation ChoicesSince the 2010 TSP update, City Council priorities have supported transportation choices. Examples include expanding the city’s sidewalk fund, ensuring that public improvements are equitable and benefit different areas of the city, and adopting the Active Transportation Plan. The City has also worked closely on regional partner-led projects in Beaverton alongside ODOT, Metro, TriMet, the Westside Transportation Alliance, Washington County, and Tualatin Hills Parks and Recreation District. The project will advance transportation choices in the following ways:

Modal prioritization for major roadsThe project will identify the purpose and primary modal function of major roads citywide, with the framework provided by Beaverton’s Context Sensitive Design Policy, Metro’s Designing Livable Streets and Trails Guide, and ODOT’s Blueprint for Urban Design. Updating the modal plan system maps will prioritize transportation options and connectivity within neighborhoods and to services and amenities.

Advance racial equityThe project will apply a racial equity lens to the transportation system so all people who live and work in Beaverton have access to resources and opportunities that improve their quality of life and help them reach their full potential. Proposed elements of the racial equity lens include:1. Relationships - Staff will work closely with the city’s volunteer Diversity Advisory Board (DAB) to shape the project and the city will contract with community-based organizations (CBOs) to engage with low-income residents, people with disabilities, and communities of color to strengthen relationships with diverse community groups. 2. Policy and Data - The project will seek guidance from Beaverton’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Plan, Metro’s Public Engagement and Non-Discrimination certification process, and Coalition of Communities of Color’s Leading with Race report. Metro’s Equity Focus Areas in the RTP are a starting point for data analysis.3. Equity-Focused Planning - The project will tailor the planning process to ensure decision-making and resource allocation that leads to more equitable outcomes. Beaverton will work with CBOs to define needs and priorities, and investments will be strongly weighted toward areas where low-income, historically underserved, and limited English proficiency communities live.

Account for new mobilityFast-paced changes in mobility can help to create a safe, equitable, and sustainable city. Recognizing this

importance, the 2019 Mayor and City Council Priorities indicates a need to “plan for and deploy new transportation technologies.” The TSP Update will examine the needs and opportunities for curb space management, advanced signal technology, automated vehicles, transportation electrification, and new mobility options such as vehicle sharing (scooters, bikes, and cars), ride hailing (Lyft, Uber), and micro-transit.

TGM Goal 5: Environmental StewardshipBeaverton’s TSP update provides an opportunity to bring climate action into the local planning process and produce outcomes that may serve as a new model for TSP updates in Oregon. New policies related to GHG reductions and climate change – with equity deeply embedded within them – are expected as part of the update. Beaverton’s 2019 Climate Action Plan identifies key strategies and actions, including 17 transportation actions, for the City to achieve zero GHG emissions by 2050. This local momentum, paired with evolving statewide efforts such as Every Mile Counts and TPR rulemaking in response to EO 20-04, provide an opportunity for piloting a TSP update that is guided by climate action to evaluate outcomes of proposed system investments and make measurable progress towards state, regional and local GHG reduction targets. Beaverton is ready to act now.

Criterion 2: Proposed project is timely and urgent (up to 25 points)

The application demonstrates timeliness and urgency. The project is needed now to:

address pressing local transportation and land use issues

make amendments to local plans or regulations necessitated by changes in federal regulations, state requirements or regional plans

make amendments to local plans or regulations necessitated by changes that were not anticipated in previous plans, including growth or lack of growth, changes in land-use patterns or changes in available funding

build on, complement or take a necessary step toward completing or implementing other high priority community initiatives, including Governor's Regional Solutions Team priority

resolve transportation or land use-related issues affecting the project readiness of local, regional or state transportation projects for which funding is expected to be obligated within the near future

Application instructions and example responses can be found here.

Explain how your proposed project is timely and urgentBeaverton’s TSP update is both timely and urgent, in order to address changes in community values, local growth, regional center development, and implementation needs.

1. Current Values – The existing TSP policies, projects, programs, and outcomes do not align with recent efforts and current values of the community and City Council. Recent local initiatives and plans regarding equity, climate, and safety align with Metro’s RTP priorities, but are not reflected in the same scale within the TSP. • The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Plan and DAB are local resources to inform how the TSP update will address equity and ensure that needs and perspectives are addressed. • Climate action will be a significant focus of the TSP update. Beaverton’s TSP needs to be updated now to address climate change and begin planning for GHG reduction requirements that are anticipated through rulemaking in response to EO 20-04.• Transportation safety and the city’s 2017 ODOT-funded transportation safety analysis work will be used to identify projects and programs that provide a safer transportation system.

2. Local Growth and Shared Prosperity - Beaverton has undergone significant change and growth over the last decade. Between 2010 and 2018 the city saw a ten percent increase in population and added over 700 new businesses (an 18 percent increase) and 19,000 jobs (a 33 percent increase). The city is experiencing significant redevelopment within the Beaverton Regional Center, in the West Five Employment District east of Hwy 217, and in new growth areas, including South Cooper Mountain, which will add approximately 3,300 new housing units. The city and the Beaverton Urban Renewal Agency (BURA) have worked to stimulate development downtown through local incentives for businesses and property owners, encouraging mixed-use development with both affordable and market-rate housing, and construction of the new Patricia Reser Center for the Arts, all of which leverage Beaverton’s transit-rich downtown with frequent service bus, MAX and WES commuter rail. As Beaverton continues to evolve, addressing access to markets and jobs to facilitate shared prosperity is an essential function of the TSP Update.

3. Multimodal Improvements that Support Development - The current TSP has a vehicular project focus that does not provide the modal balance to support a vibrant regional center in Beaverton’s downtown. Multimodal improvements are difficult to implement through the land use development review process since there is not a local mechanism for implementing projects that are not based on motor vehicle capacity. Recent planning efforts, including the Downtown Design Project and Central Beaverton Urban Renewal Plan, have articulated the vision, but the TSP needs to be aligned with this vision in order to implement these projects and programs. The TSP Update is timed to integrate the outcomes of the Regional Mobility Policy Update and new measures and performance targets that will define mobility expectations for all modes.

4. Ensuring Timely Implementation - The TSP needs to be updated so the city can implement transportation improvements that align with the community’s vision. The existing TSP assumed that local transportation revenue sources would be adopted. These revenue sources have not been adopted and project costs have continued to increase, resulting in a stagnant plan that is not being implemented at the pace envisioned a decade ago.

Criterion 3: Proposed project approach is reasonable (up to 20 points)

The application demonstrates a clear approach to achieving the expected outcome and includes consideration for adoption. Where substantial coordination with other local, regional, and state planning efforts will need to occur, the mechanisms and responsibilities for the coordination are clear.

Application instructions and example responses can be found here.

Explain how your proposed project approach is reasonablePreliminary Scoping and Phase 1Beaverton’s recent TSP scoping effort prepared a project approach that provides a comprehensive framework for addressing local needs. This consultant-supported effort included a plans and policies review, a summary of trends, and focus group discussions with various city teams and partner agencies. These steps helped educate staff, build support for the update, and vet key issues that the TSP update will address.

As a result, the city has identified a two-phase approach. Commencing in Fall 2020, Phase 1 is included in the city’s FY 2020/21 budget and is not the focus of this grant request. Phase 1 will begin community engagement, establish goals, objectives, and an evaluation framework, collect existing system inventories, and identify needs. Phase 1 will develop an engagement plan that integrates equity and inclusion with stakeholder group formation and initial engagement activities. Phase 1 will include a comprehensive policy and plan review. These combined efforts will inform the formation of transportation goals, objectives, and evaluation criteria to guide the planning process in Phase 2.

Phase 2 – TGM Grant Phase 2 is the focus of TGM grant assistance and will contain the following tasks, which follow the foundational process of Oregon’s TSP Guidelines and include additional focus on community engagement, equity-based outcomes and addressing climate change.

1. Project Management (ongoing $15K) Project initiation and on-going management responsibilities, including recurring meetings with the Project Management Team (PMT). 2. Public Engagement (ongoing $82K): Implementation of framework developed in Phase 1. The city will incorporate equity and inclusion into the planning process through contracting with community-based organizations to reach stakeholders, presenting project updates at milestones to solicit input from city boards and commissions, maintaining a dynamic project website, and live and virtual events that enable participation and engagement by all members of the community.3. Existing Conditions (months 2 to 4 $73K) Relevant modal system inventories and needs from prior planning efforts will be used. New inventories or data will align with criteria established in Phase 1. 4. Future Conditions (months 4 to 5 $65K): Future 2040 forecasts and conditions will be consistent with the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and assumptions. In addition, the consultant, in coordination with Metro, will use the regional travel demand model to analyze “alternative future” scenarios that vary the assumptions of local policies, pricing, programs and projects, to explore the range of future outcomes that may be achievable. Initial scenarios will illuminate cumulative impacts of projects and programs on meeting climate goals and other community objectives. 5. Solutions Development (months 6 to 11 $235K): The consultant will compile and evaluate solutions using measures developed through Phase 1, which will likely include additional focus on safety, equity and climate action to meet city objectives. Individual projects and broader transportation strategies, policies, or code changes will be considered to systematically address recurring transportation issues and needs. The consultant team will consider opportunities and strategies for technology solutions, shared micromobility, Intelligent Transportation Systems, electrification, connected autonomous vehicles, and microtransit. The project team will evaluate several scenarios through strategic assessment to determine the overall outcomes that the city can achieve based on collective policies, programs, and projects. The modeled scenarios will provide high level metrics that can be used to measure the outcomes of climate action or other goals and objectives.6. Implementation Programs (months 12 to 14 $110K): The consultant team will prepare a project and strategy list from the solutions analysis and community outreach. Planning level cost estimates will be updated to provide a reasonable estimate of current costs. 7. TSP and Supporting Materials (months 15 to 16 $55K): The TSP will be a user-friendly dynamic document for staff, jurisdictional partners, diverse residents, and potential developers. Comprehensive Plan and Development Code edits are included.8. Adoption (months 17 to 20 $15K) Public review of the Draft TSP, Code, and implementing language will be presented to the Planning Commission and City Council for adoption.

Criterion 4: Proposed project has community support (up to 5 points)

The application demonstrates that there is local support for project objectives, a commitment to participate, and a desire to implement the expected outcome.

Criterion 5: Proposed project sponsor readiness and capacity (up to 10

points)

The application demonstrates that the local government is ready and able to begin the project within the TGM timetable and that there is local commitment and capability to manage and complete the project. The application demonstrates, if applicable, successful performance on previous TGM projects.

Application instructions and example responses can be found here.

Explain how proposed project sponsor is ready and capableTransportation Planning Manager Jean Senechal Biggs will manage the project. She has spent her nearly 25-year career creating plans, policies and projects that support walking, cycling and transit, and facilitating public decision-making processes. While at the Portland Bureau of Transportation, Jean served in project management roles on the Powell-Division Transit and Development Project, the SW Moody Avenue Project, and the NW 23rd Reconstruction Project. Jean was a key team member on TGM-funded plans including the Division Green Street/Main Street Plan (2006), the Alberta Streetscape Plan (2000) and the Portland Pedestrian Master Plan (1998).

Jean will spend 40% - 50% of her time leading the project. She will prepare all grant paperwork, coordinate stakeholder engagement activities, coordinate review of deliverables by staff and partner agencies, and manage the project’s scope, schedule and budget. Jean will gather technical input and support from staff across city departments, including Transportation Planning, Planning, Economic Development, Engineering, Finance, and the City Attorney’s Office.

Since January 2020, Beaverton has invested over $30,000 to scope the TSP Update. Phase 1 of the TSP Update is entirely city-funded and will kick-off in Fall 2020. Phase 2 of the TSP Update relies on TGM funding and City General Fund dollars that are well above the required 12% match. Beaverton anticipates budgeting the significant cash match over two fiscal years, with the first payment tied to project initiation at the start of FY 21/22 and a second payment tied a key milestone at the start of FY 22/23.

The City of Beaverton’s only TGM-funded project in the last ten years was the 2018 Active Transportation Plan, which was completed on time and within budget ($100,000 award + $75,000 cash match). Beaverton staff are familiar with TGM program processes and timelines, and we are confident that the TSP Update can be completed in the TGM grant timeline.

July 30, 2020 Mayor Denny Doyle City of Beaverton 12725 SW Millikan Way Beaverton, OR 97005 Dear Mayor Doyle, I want to express Metro’s support for the City of Beaverton’s Transportation and Growth Management Program (TGM) grant application to update the City’s Transportation System Plan (TSP). This project will establish a new vision for transportation in the city as well as prioritize investments in ways that align with regional plans, policies and strategies, including the 2018 Regional Transportation Plan and Climate Smart Strategy. A new vision for Beaverton’s transportation system that reflects the needs and values of the community is essential for the future prosperity of Beaverton and helps to improve the day-to-day quality of life for all its residents. Beaverton’s TSP update is timely. Beaverton is poised to lead their TSP update to advance the four pillars of the 2018 Regional Transportation Plan: climate, equity, safety and congestion management. The update further define the City’s 2019 Climate Action Plan and result in a TSP that helps to implement regional and state climate strategies and meet regional and state climate goals. In addition, the City’s approach to equity-focused planning will bring together community engagement, policy and data to ensure equitable outcomes for historically underserved residents. Metro fully supports Beaverton’s application for a TGM grant to update their TSP. We look forward to working with City staff and other project partners on this important effort and assigning staff to serve on the project’s Technical Advisory Committee. Sincerely, Elissa Gertler Director, Planning and Development

Dear Mr. Bolen,

This letter is submitted in support of the City of Beaverton’s 2020 ODOT Transportation and

Growth Management (TGM) grant application to update the city’s Transportation Systems Plan

(TSP). TriMet supports this effort and urges that funding be provided to the City of Beaverton to

conduct this planning project.

Beaverton’s TSP update is critical to ensuring that the city’s transportation goals and efforts are

consistent with the Portland metro area’s Regional Transportation Plan. The update will

incorporate TriMet’s Service Enhancement Plan as well as plan for emerging technologies.

This plan will develop a vision for a coordinated transportation system that includes transit as

one of the primary transportation modes in the city. This vision will help to clarify and

coordinate infrastructure improvements in the city with the many projects TriMet is working on

in Beaverton, including the Red Line Extension, high capacity transit on Tualatin Valley Highway,

and increased bus service allocated through Oregon State House Bill 2017.

TriMet looks forward to working with the City of Beaverton to learn about and participate in this

planning project. We would like to serve in an advisory role and encourage project staff to place

a TriMet representative on the technical advisory committee.

As the region’s primary transit provider, TriMet supports Beaverton’s TSP update and we urge

you to fund the planning work identified in this proposed project. We look forward to working

closely with city staff and other project partners to ensure our efforts are coordinated.

Thank you for your consideration.

July 16, 2020 Glen Bolen Region 1 TGM Lead Planner Transportation and Growth Management Program Oregon Department of Transportation 55 13th Street NE, Suite 2 Salem, OR 97301 RE: City of Beaverton TSP Project Dear Mr. Bolen, Washington County staff support the City of Beaverton’s Transportation and Growth Management Program (TGM) grant application for an update to the city’s Transportation System Plan (TSP). The transportation system plays a critical role in shaping future growth and attracting new investment in communities. It is our hope that the city’s TSP update will further both city and county goals by improving the efficiency and safety of Beaverton’s transportation network for all users. Washington County and its cities are experiencing growth and demographic changes that should be reflected in updated plan documents. The TSP update will require coordinated planning between Washington County and other local and regional partners to identify key policy changes and infrastructure projects that will alleviate existing roadway issues, expand travel choices, plan for anticipated housing and employment growth, and respond to changes in revenue assumptions. The project will also provide community members an opportunity to help prioritize transportation improvements and understand how capital projects are planned and financed. County staff appreciate our partnership with the City of Beaverton and look forward to working with city staff and other project partners on this important effort. Sincerely,

Stephen Roberts, AICP Director of Land Use & Transportation

July 16, 2020 Mayor Denny Doyle City of Beaverton 12725 SW Millikan Way Beaverton, OR 97005 Dear Mayor Doyle, I want to express Westside Transportation Alliance’s support for the City of Beaverton’s Transportation and Growth Management Program (TGM) grant application for an update to the City’s Transportation System Plan (TSP). A new vision for Beaverton’s transportation system that reflects the needs and values of the community is essential for the future prosperity of Beaverton and helps to improve the day-to-day quality of life for its residents. This project will make needed changes as a result of other community planning efforts; explore and advance policies related to emerging topics of community interest, such as climate change, safety, and new mobility; and ensure equitable outcomes for historically underserved residents. This project will allow the City to meet important regional and state transportation and land use goals and help implement the region’s transportation and land use policies. Westside Transportation Alliance supports Beaverton’s application for a TGM grant to update their TSP, and we look forward to working with City staff and other project partners on this important effort. Sincerely,

Jeff Pazdalski Executive Director
