Bridging the Digital DivideDecember 3, 2020

What is the Digital Divide?

Gap between the members of society who do not have

reliable access to the internet and those who do

1

3

High-speed internet access is critical to economicopportunity, education, and public health and safety

4

Intelligent transportation and Smart Cities initiatives require broadband access

4


Over 2 million Californians do not have access to high-speed broadband service and 8.4 million residents do not have broadband subscriptions

5

Digital Divide in the San Diego Region

• 23% of households earning less than $50,000/year do not have a broadband subscription

• 20 – 40% of students in many local districts are under-connected or lack home internet access.

• 42% of people who live in the County’s rural areas have fixed internet, versus 97% of the people who live in urban areas

California Broadband For All

• Mandates minimum broadband speed (100 Mbps download speed)

• Directs development of a California Broadband Action Plan (December 31, 2020)

• Directs state agencies to increase access to broadband under four areas: Mapping and Data, Funding, Deployment, and Adoption

• Transportation will focus on fiber deployment with transportation projects along strategic corridors

7

What's happening in the San Diego Region?

• The City of San Diego and San Diego Futures Foundation supported 30,000 local householdswithout computers

• SD Access4All providing wifi and laptop access

• The City of Chula Vista adopted a Digital Equity and Inclusion Plan and a Telecommunications Master plan

• San Diego County Office of Education funded 19 school districts

Traditional Projects TSMO

Mission / Goals / Objectives

Focus on capital infrastructure investments to relieve congestion

Multiple agencies align for common operational and management unity of the whole system/networks

Strategies Physical Construction• Adding lanes for capacity• Standalone projects

• Multimodal operational philosophy• Performance‐based operations• TSM‐TDM

Performance Accountability

• Schedule• Budget• Standards Compliance

• Customer‐focused on complete trip, regardless of institutional boundaries or ownership of assets

• Measurable metrics on reliability and delay

Time Scale Defined – Project begins and ends Ongoing – real‐time active management and operations

Governance / Business Processes

• Multimodal through planning• Siloed implementation• Siloed operations and

maintenance management

• Integrated multimodal process from planning to operations• Increased cross‐agency collaboration to promote and

achieve integrated management of the transportation system

Regional TSMO Plan Work to date• Capability Maturity Model assessment for 78 CMCP

• Review of TSMO best practices

• Workshops/Presentations• 78 CMCP Needs Assessment• Central Hub CMCP• SR‐67 CMCP• SR‐52 CMCP• I‐805 CMCP• SSTAC• SANTEC• CTAC

• Needs Assessment Survey

Ranking Need Statement

1 (tie)Need to improve coordination between agencies during

major incidents.

1 (tie)Need greater transit frequency and improved reliability at

border crossing

3Need to ensure that emerging modes provide equitable

and accessible transportation services.

4Need a database of mobility service providers to facilitate matching with individuals based on accessibility needs.

5Need to share real‐time traffic signal timing plans with

adjacent or impacted agencies

Initial Needs Assessment Trends• Higher ranked priority topics:

• Equity and Accessibility• Communication between agencies

• Safety

• Other opportunities:• Performance metrics to support the higher ranked needs

• Engage the freight community

• Identify traveler information linkages with operations

Example User Needs ‐ Equity and Accessibility• Equity and accessibility metrics as a key component of project evaluation

• Access for those who don’t use smart phones, mobile apps, or don’t have reliable home internet

• Access for those without a bank account or credit card• Present information in multiple languages and in formats compatible with low‐vision or hearing‐impaired users

• Promote accessibility in emerging transportation modes

• Routine bus driver trainings • Bus kneeling, securing mobility devices, sensitivity towards those with cognitive or behavioral disabilities

9

Smart Intersections Concepts• Assign priority based on the users of the intersection at any time

10

9

10


Smart Intersections• Green Time Extension

• Vulnerable users get extra time to cross conflict areas (low mobility pedestrians or bicyclists)

• Accessible Pedestrian Signals

• Tactile and auditory information about the location and direction of travel

11

Smart Intersections• Connected Vehicles and Safety

• Warns cars/buses/trucks if there is a pedestrian/bike in their blind spot

• Near miss conflict analysis

12

11

12


Proposed Smart Intersection Concept Goals

13

Curb Management ‐ Possible Capabilities

Prioritized curb space for people walking, bicycling, using micromobility devices, and a flexible fleet of mode options.

Multimodal Integration

Equip the curb with Smart Freight/Delivery Loading Zones and space for easy access by ride hailing and food delivery services.

Commercial/Passenger Loading

Transit/Mobility Hubs

Optimize the curb lane to enhance user access to transit and mobility hubs, lowering the need to depend on automobiles.

Connected Curb Lanes

Connect the curb with technology that allows for real‐time occupancy and availability monitoring and dynamic pricing capabilities.

13

14


Curb Management ‐ Possible CapabilitiesAccessibility• Availability of van accessible

spaces/paratransit‐only loading• ADA compliant curb lane infrastructure

Connected Technologies• Electric vehicle charging stations• Real‐time communications to in‐vehicle applications• Smart lighting and smart curb management

integration

Operations• Transit and Flexible Fleet Access Management• Flexible Curb Zones• Time‐of‐day parking restrictions

Examples of curb management:

• ADA space permanently allocated for ADA loading

• Pink zone can be general pick‐up/drop‐off or food delivery

• Yellow zone can alternately serve transit and deliveries

• Bikes clearly see there is a pedestrian crossing zone

15

16


Proposed Curb Management Concept Goals

17

Considerations for Implementation• Locally implemented and operated

• Prioritize implementation based on equity and safety‐related performance measures

• Coordination and consistency with other agencies

• Enforcement

As part of SANDAG’s Regional Transportation System Management & Operations (TSMO) Plan, we are gathering input on how we can improve cross agency coordination to enhance how we can operate and manage our transportation network regardless of institutional boundaries. This effort requires understanding common and or individual agencies needs to help advance two specific Next OS concepts; Smart Intersection and Curb Management.

We need your help to complete this survey. You are uniquely able to provide us with information about the needs you prioritize from the perspective of your agency and department that you represent.

Your input matters. Your perspective helps us plan for a balanced, equitable system. Please plan to complete this survey ASAP.
