Transportation Development
How do we get rubber on the road? …..and other
burning questions.

Identification of Need
Who? (Characteristics)Low income, seniors, disabled, children,
general public, any special requirements?What? (Trip Purpose)
Work, adult education and training, medical appointments, meeting basic needs, shopping, recreation, inter-modal connections, senior nutrition access…

More QuestionsWhere (origins and destinations)
Identify common origins and destinations (this is more specific than from home to work – actual map locations)
When (time of day) Is the need varied (medical appointments)
or the same every day (commute), or changes because of shift rotation?

Developing Solutions - How
Solutions are the answer to the question “how”. How can a specific need be met for a particular element of the population? Often this results in a favored method, vanpool,
carpool, demand response, fixed route service.
Make sure you know what assets already exist. Maybe you are addressing just a small gap between two existing systems. Maybe coordination of systems could solve the problem.

Involve Consumers
If we build it, will you ride?

Where’s the Money?
Consolidated Grant Process – State Formula Allocation from FTA to State and to
Transit Agencies Limited Discretionary Funding from FTA
Brief History of JARC earmarks 1999-2001 WorkForce Transportation Iniative Barriers included no license or insurance Resale and loans not approved uses through WSDOT By 2007(?) earmarks were replaced with allocations to
states and transit systems.

Are Needs Already Identified to Address our Local Problem?
Maybe…

Coordinated Transit Human Services Transportation Plan
First plans were submitted in January of 2007. All projects seeking funding through state consolidated grant program must be ranked by local CTHSTPs
Process required to develop a plan Convene Stakeholder Groups Gather Data and Information Identify Unmet Transportation Needs Develop Transportation Alternatives

Data and Information
Origins and destinations for people with special transportation needs
Use maps where feasibleExisting Transportation Services
Hours of operationService area/boundariesType of service Fares

Identify Unmet Transportation Needs
Gaps in serviceIdentify duplicationIdentify social services that are providing
transportation to clients. Find out if they are willing to coordinate to leverage funds.Using GIS/maps can help inform the public
and assist planners in developing transportation alternatives.

Develop Transportation Alternatives
Offer prioritized solutions to meet the unmet needs. (Prioritization first comes from the community and stakeholder input).
Identify how coordination will be utilized within the transportation alternatives.

UpdatesThe plan must be updated during the
current state biennium. It will need to be completed by about May of 2010 in order to be available to transportation service developers for the next round of grant applications (August 2010). It is not clear what the update schedule will look like in the surface transportation reauthorization.

Project Ranking for Consolidated Grant Process
The RTPO has the responsibility for ranking transportation projects submitted in the Consolidated Grant Process.
The RTPO ranks the projects using the priorities set by the community within the plan.

Public Participation The public can participate in the stakeholder
meetings. In the first planning process, we used a
combination of public survey results (especially to obtain origins/destinations) as well as inviting the public to the stakeholder meetings.
United We Ride Framework for Action (focus groups, surveys, needs assessments, public notices)
